For the past 3 weeks, I’ve been using the OPPO Reno12 Pro and I believe that like many 1st time users of this phone, the fast charging and long battery life impresses. Out of all the phones I have used so far including OPPO phones, this one charges the fastest. But I need to rewind a bit because when I opened the box, the 1st thing that came to my mind was how absolutely beautiful the phone looks with its silver ripple 3D effect, it really is like ripples or waves of silver flowing across the phone.
Battery
4880mAh/19.09Wh (Rated)
5000mAh/19.55Wh (Typical)
My review phone is in Nebula Silver which I love but it is also available in Space Brown. There’s a slight barely noticeable difference between these 2 colours:
Nebula Silver 181g weight/7.45mm thickness
Space Brown: 180g weight/7.40mm thickness

Yes, there is barely any difference in weight and thickness. I would prefer Nebula Silver simply because it looks more eye-catching/stunning/fashion forward but Space Brown has unique matte and glossy sections divided by a stylish ribbon so choosing the colour is a matter of personal preference. The phone is easy on the hand because it is so light and slim. Display size is 6.7″ which is a good size, no need to squint on this phone. But if you do charge it, you might like to know that it goes from 1-100% in just 46 minutes, now that’s impressive.
The audio is phenomenal, it is indeed a pleasure listening to the radio or watching videos on the OPPO Reno12 Pro. What makes it even better is the battery doesn’t drain fast when watching videos which is very important to all of us especially when you are out all day and have forgotten to bring your power bank. In fact, this is OPPO’s best battery ever as it will perform like new even after 4 years. With 80W SUPERVOOCTM Flash Charge & 5000mAh Large Battery, you will hardly have to charge this phone all day.
The OPPO Reno12 Pro has an Infinite View Screen, you can take on the ultimate immersive view with the visual impact of a straight screen, combined with the in-hand comfort of a curved screen.

I have been so impressed with the photos taken using this phone as the photos turn out well even when I am in a dark theatre and I don’t have to turn on the flash. Every photo taken has been quite remarkable and everyone I have shown the photos to have been just as impressed. The AI features make this phone worth the price as photos can be enhanced. You can make every face look fantastic in group shots, as the AI increases clarity and reduces distortion for up to ten people. HD details and textures make every person look like the star of the show.
Everyone has experienced disastrous photos where their eyes were closed but disaster can now be averted as there is a special feature on the Reno12 Pro. Whether it’s the precious selfie with your idol, or an irreplicable magic moment, having your eyes blinked as the shutter snapped used to be a disaster. Now eyes magically reopen in a click with AI!

Sometimes I leave my phone on my bed and accidentally sleep on it. With the Reno12 Pro, no worries. When this phone is face down, it can withstand the equivalent pressure of being run over by a 3.2-tonne car. I have had my old phone run over by a car before so this thought is comforting but no one will put this to the test, haha!
OPPO has tested this phone to prove that it is seriously splashproof. Previously found exclusively on high-end flagship smartphones, this advanced glass material on the Reno12 Pro uses proprietary technology to improve resistance to drops, scratches and bending.
I always have a problem with connectivity whenever I enter an elevator. The line will get cut off. Reno12 Pro’s AI LinkBoost can detect when you’re entering or leaving an elevator and quickly reconnect to the network. Whenever you need to switch network, you can do so with minimum delays and interruptions.
With BeaconLink, make voice calls even when there’s no mobile signal. The impossible just became possible. Smart technology boosts Bluetooth power so you can still reach out to those nearby. With Splash Touch & Touch Optimisation, the phone is optimised 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.
Overall, I really love this phone as it performs well especially the cameras – photos turn out way better than I expected especially in dark places like cinemas and theatres. It also takes the best selfies, I have to love the phone as my selfies are always picture perfect. Also, the feel of this phone, the curves and smoothness make this a very appealing phone to have. I don’t want to part with this phone but I have to return it in 24 hours. It has been great having it around for the past 3 weeks.
