Industry predictions suggest a wave of new smartphone releases in China after the May Day holiday, ranging from flagships like the vivo X100s series to mid-range devices like the OPPO Reno12 series.
The core specifications of the OPPO Reno12 series have been leaked in the industry. Specifically, this time the OPPO Reno12 series only includes two models: the standard version and the Pro version, with no Pro+ version in sight. It is rumored that this decision was made to avoid overlap with a model from one of its sub-brands, though the exact reasons remain unknown.
Information indicates that the OPPO Reno12 standard version is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8200 processor, while the OPPO Reno12 Pro is also based on the MediaTek Dimensity 8200 processor. Both models feature a 1.5K resolution four-curved edge screen, making them the first OPPO devices to adopt this screen design. The four-curved edge screen, known for combining the experience of a flat screen with the aesthetics of a curved screen, effectively addresses the issue of accidental touches on curved screens.
PS: It remains unclear why the OPPO Reno12 series did not opt for processors from the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 series or 7 series.
The main camera of the OPPO Reno12 is 50 million pixels, the ultra-wide-angle camera is 8 million pixels, and there is also a 5 million pixel telephoto portrait camera. The built-in battery is 5000mAh, supporting 80W wired fast charging. Unfortunately, there is no information available on the camera specifications and battery life of the OPPO Reno12 Pro. It can be confirmed that this series still focuses on offline sales or high design aesthetics, but it remains to be seen if they will draw inspiration from other brands this time. Based on the consistent features of the OPPO Reno series, this time it should still emphasize portrait photography as a key selling point. It's unknown what kind of advanced slogan they will come up with this time; last time, wasn't it "DSLR for portraits"?
The OPPO Reno12 series launch event will not only feature smartphones but also include products like tablets, headphones, and other ecosystem items. While the exact release date has not been revealed yet, it is confirmed that the launch will take place in May. The aim is to capture the significant summer market.
