Verdict

The Oppo Reno 12 (8GB + 256GB) is a sleek, mid-range 5G smartphone running ColorOS 14.1 based on Android 14, powered by the efficient MediaTek Dimensity 7300-Energy processor. It features a vibrant 6.7-inch FHD+ (2412 x 1080) AMOLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and durable Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protection. Photography highlights include a versatile triple rear camera system (50MP main with OIS, 8MP ultra-wide, 2MP macro) and a high-resolution 32MP front camera, all enhanced by useful AI features like AI Eraser 2.0 for photo editing. A 5000mAh battery provides all-day power with 80W SUPERVOOC fast charging, a significant pro.
