Today, OPPO announced the launch of the Reno12 Series, a stunning blend of advanced AI technology and impeccable design aimed at enhancing productivity and creativity for South Africans. This new series is a testament to OPPO’s dedication to making AI phones accessible to everyone, offering a remarkable fusion of artistry and cutting-edge functionality.
The Reno12 Pro: A Futuristic Fluid Design
The Reno12 Pro stands out with its sleek, futuristic fluid design crafted from a high-strength alloy framework. This design not only adds to its aesthetic appeal but also provides robust protection against drops, pressure, and water. The innovative Fluid Ripple Texture enhances the tactile experience, making it as pleasant to hold as it is to look at. Coupled with Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2, the Reno12 Pro offers superior durability, ensuring the phone remains pristine even with daily wear and tear.
A Canvas for Creativity
At the heart of the Reno12 Pro lies the powerful 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 7300 platform, co-developed by MediaTek and OPPO. This advanced platform delivers exceptional power efficiency and performance, setting a new standard for AI-enhanced smartphones. The Reno12 Pro’s AI capabilities are designed to foster creativity, with features like the AI Eraser for photo editing and AI Studio for transforming photos into digital avatars or artistic portraits. Whether you imagine yourself as an Amapiano DJ or a star in a local soapie, the Reno12 Pro lets you explore various personas with ease.
Photography Redefined
Equipped with a 50MP Telephoto Portrait Camera and a 50MP Selfie Camera, the Reno12 Pro elevates mobile photography to an art form. The AI Portrait Retouching feature allows real-time adjustments to enhance facial features, ensuring perfect selfies every time. The Main Camera, featuring a Sony LYT-600 sensor with omnidirectional autofocus and optical image stabilization (OIS), captures clear, focused shots quickly. With 4K video recording at 30fps on both the rear and front cameras, you can capture your favorite moments in stunning high-definition.
Efficiency Meets Performance
The Reno12 Pro’s performance is optimized through the ColorOS Trinity Engine, which uses AI models to identify user scenarios and allocate resources smartly. This ensures lower power consumption while maintaining system stability and smoothness. The RAM-Vita engine speeds up app launches and allows seamless switching between apps, while the ROM-Vita engine compresses infrequently used apps and manages duplicate files, freeing up storage space and improving memory read/write speeds.
Battery and Connectivity
The Reno12 Pro is powered by a 5,000mAh battery with OPPO’s 80W SUPERVOOCTM Flash Charge technology, which charges the battery to 32% in just 10 minutes and 100% in 46 minutes. The AI LinkBoost technology ensures smooth and stable connectivity, with nine individual antennas arranged in a 360° surround architecture to boost signal reception and optimize network selection. Additionally, the BeaconLink protocol allows one-to-one voice calls over distances of up to 200 meters without network coverage, showcasing OPPO’s commitment to delivering reliable performance in any situation.
A Vision of the Future
Liam Faurie, Head of Go-to-Market & Operations at OPPO South Africa, emphasized OPPO’s mission to democratize AI: “At OPPO, we believe that everyone deserves AI. The Reno12 Pro, with its cutting-edge GenAI features and innovative design, is likely to be the first AI phone for many South Africans. We are democratizing access to advanced technology by offering the best-in-market features at an unbeatable price. The Reno12 Pro sets a new standard in smartphone excellence, ensuring that top-tier AI capabilities are accessible to all.”
Availability and Pricing
The OPPO Reno12 Pro will be available at all local operators at an RRP of R18,999, with contract prices starting from R749 per month. New models of the Reno12 series will be introduced in the coming months, with the Reno12FS arriving in July and the Reno12 F 4G hitting stores in August, offering a broader range of choices for customers.
With the launch of the Reno12 Series, OPPO continues to push the boundaries of what a smartphone can be, combining art and technology to create a device that is as functional as it is beautiful. The Reno12 Pro is not just a phone; it’s a piece of art designed to inspire and empower its users.
