Detailed Product Description

Build and Design

The handset is awe-inspiring as it is beautiful. Measuring 161.4 x 74.1 x 7.6 mm (6.35 x 2.92 x 0.30 in) and weighing 177g, Oppo Reno 12 5G checks all the boxes for slimness and featherlight design. Too bad part of the material used on its body is plastic (Glass front (Gorilla Glass 7i), plastic frame, plastic back). However, Oppo did an awesome job on the seductively constructed, IP65-certified (dust and water-resistant) smartphone.

Futuristic Fluid 3D Design

Enjoy the peaceful ripples and waves with this unprecedented 3D design feature. Whilst perfectly smooth to the touch, this phone has beautiful fluid textures that invite you into a unique world.

Weightlessness

Exquisite ergonomics and zero-pressure comfort design are the result of dozens of demanding tests at Oppo’s Human Factors Lab, achieving elegant, flowing curves that are the perfect fit for your palm. The slim, lightweight body creates a “barely there” feel in hands, pockets, and bags.

Colorways

To make a statement and a mark in the high-end smartphone market, Oppo went for it all with their 12 Series 5G model. The space age silvery tones in its innovative and futuristic hue are a natural fashion fit. They elevate technology to avant-garde accessories. Enjoy your pick from these 3 colorways:

The viewing angles are good, and the color reproduction is impressive, with deep black levels. Whether you are enjoying multimedia content or browsing, the Reno12’s display provides a delightful visual experience.

Splash Touch & Touch Optimisation

Optimized to respond to touches you intend and to skip those you don’t. Plus, if it’s started raining, or you’re washing up, if your screen’s been splashed or your hands are wet, it stays super responsive.

All Round Armour

Oppo has gone deep on drop and impact resistance, anti-aging, dust, and waterproofing, deploying new technology in glass, metal, and shock absorption to make this phone genuinely life-proof. For their 3D 120Hz Curved Screen, Oppo installed Corning Gorilla Glass 7i to offer maximum protection against breakage from accidental falls and scratches.

Inbuilt shock absorption and cushioning are sealed in around components giving your phone’s inner workings better protection from drops and impacts.

Notably, the all-around armor provides much-needed durability and longer life for your smartphone. This is specifically in regards to:

  • Pressure resistance to the touchscreen
  • Anti-aging
