Third-party reviews

What we like about Oppo Reno 12 F 5G (8GB + 512GB)

  • Vibrant and bright 6.67-inch AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate, praised as a major selling point for its price point and good visibility in direct sunlight.
  • Excellent battery life, with the 5,000mAh capacity often lasting a full day even with heavy use, and impressive standby times.
  • Fast charging support (45W or 80W depending on source/market) that charges the phone quickly (e.g., a full charge in around 40 minutes for 80W).
  • Sleek and stylish design with a premium feel and solid, durable build quality, including IP65 dust and water resistance and high-strength alloy framework.
  • Generally smooth and snappy performance for everyday tasks and multitasking due to ample RAM (8GB/12GB) and a capable processor.
  • Main 50MP camera captures good, detailed photos with vibrant colors in ideal lighting conditions, and portrait mode works well.
  • Useful and innovative AI features like AI Eraser (for removing objects/people from photos), AI summary, and AI LinkBoost for improved connectivity are appreciated by users.
  • Generous storage options (256GB/512GB) which is considered good value for the money.
  • Dual stereo speakers that offer loud and decent sound quality, with an 'Ultra Volume' mode for boosting volume further.

What we don't like about Oppo Reno 12 F 5G (8GB + 512GB)

  • Performance can be inconsistent, with occasional stuttering or slowdowns, especially in demanding games or when switching between apps.
  • Significant amount of pre-installed bloatware and unnecessary app recommendations cluttering the home screens.
  • Secondary cameras (8MP ultrawide and 2MP macro) are considered mediocre and a weak point of the camera system.
  • Camera performance suffers in low-light conditions, with photos lacking sharpness and detail, and poor results from the Night mode.
  • No 3.5mm headphone jack and no support for traditional radio function.
  • Some AI camera features like eye-correction in group photos do not work reliably.
  • User interface (ColorOS) can feel cluttered and less polished compared to competitors, with limited lock screen customization options.
  • Phone can heat up to uncomfortable levels during extended heavy use, such as prolonged gaming or using a hotspot.
  • Curved screen design (on some variants) can lead to accidental touches or difficulty accessing edge-based app buttons.

Verdict

The Oppo Reno 12 F 5G (8GB + 512GB variant) is a mid-range smartphone featuring a 6.67-inch, 120Hz Full HD+ AMOLED display with 2100 nits peak brightness, powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor. It is equipped with a versatile 50MP main rear camera, an 8MP ultra-wide, a 2MP macro lens, and a 32MP front camera, all enhanced by a suite of AI photography and productivity tools like AI Eraser. Key pros include its stylish and slender design with an IP64 rating, a large 5000mAh battery offering excellent endurance, and 45W SUPERVOOC fast charging. Potential cons include the use of older UFS 2.2 storage technology, noticeably average low-light camera performance, and the presence of pre-installed bloatware within the ColorOS 14 operating system.
