On the other hand, the Reno12 is equipped with a more powerful Dimensity 9200+ CPU, one of the recent chipsets coming from MediaTek, as opposed to Reno11 Pro’s Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor.
Oppo has improved many of the series’ camera features. For starters, both Reno12 series phones feature triple cameras that consist of 50MP main, 50MP 2x telephoto, and 8MP ultra-wide sensors.
The difference is that the Reno12 Pro model has a slightly larger Sony IMX890 sensor (1/1.56-inch, 1.0µm pixels) compared to Reno12’s Sony LYT 600 sensor (1/1.95-inch). A 50-megapixel front-facing camera is packed inside both models, so there are no differences here.
As far as the amount of memory goes, there are plenty of options to choose from. For example, the Reno12 model comes in 12/256GB, 16/256GB, 12/512GB, and 16/512GB configurations, while the Pro model is available in 12/256GB, 16/256GB, and 16/512GB versions.
When it comes to design, the Reno12 and Reno12 Pro are not just lighter and thinner than the previous models, but they’re also sturdier thanks to the Corning Gorilla Glass coat and IP65 rating (water resistant).
Price and availability
Another major selling point of the Reno12 series is the price. Although they’re only available in China, they’re priced extremely competitively. The Reno12 can be had in Millenium Silver, Soft Peach and Ebony Black for as low as $375 and as high as $440, depending on the model.
The beefed-up model, the Reno12 Pro, is available in Champagne Gold, Ebony Black, and Silver Fantasy Purple for as low as $470 or as high as $550, depending on the version.
