  • China ROM software limitations, including potential issues with Google Assistant voice commands and lack of built-in Google Wear OS connectivity.

  • In-display fingerprint sensor is positioned too low for comfortable one-handed use by some users.

Verdict

The Oppo Reno 12 China version (16GB + 512GB) is a sleek 5G smartphone featuring a 6.7-inch, 120Hz curved AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080 x 2412 pixels and Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protection. It is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8250 (4 nm) processor and includes a robust 5000mAh battery with 80W wired fast charging support. The phone boasts a versatile rear camera system with a 50MP main sensor (with OIS), a 50MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom, and an 8MP ultrawide lens, plus a 50MP front camera, all enhanced by various AI editing features. Key pros include its high-resolution display, excellent battery life, very fast charging, and advanced AI camera tools, along with a high-strength, durable design with an IP65 rating. The main cons for international users are that the China version does not come with Google services pre-installed, primarily supports Chinese and English languages, and may have limited 5G network band compatibility in some global regions. Additionally, some reviews note that the processor performance, while efficient, may not match other similarly priced flagship models in raw power.
