For starters, the Reno 12 Pro 5G boasts what Oppo is describing as an Infinite View Screen – a 6.7-inch AMOLED display that ever-so-slightly wraps around the device on all four sides. Having handled the Reno 12 Pro 5G for myself, I can confirm that the combination is subtle but effective (it’s also great to see curved screens enduring in one way or another).

This Infinite View Screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, which is the same shield you’ll find adorning the Samsung Galaxy S24 and Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus. The Reno 12 Pro 5G offers IP65 dust and water resistance, too.

Other specs include a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset, a 5,000mAh battery and four decent cameras – specifically a 50MP main, a 50MP telephoto (with 2x optical zoom), an 8MP ultra-wide and a 50MP selfie snapper. But the real interesting meat on the bone of the Reno 12 Pro 5G is its aforementioned AI capabilities. 

Leading the charge is a suite of photo-editing tools that aren’t a million miles away from those already offered by the likes of Google and Samsung. AI Eraser, for instance, lets you remove unwanted subjects and objects from photos with a simple tap – I recently took the feature for a spin on the Oppo Find X7 Ultra at the Champions League final – while AI Clear Face can automatically remove facial blemishes and add detail to facial features.

For the more productive among us, the Oppo Reno 12 Pro 5G also offers a host of Google Gemini-based assistive features, like AI Write, AI Speak and AI Summary. These tools leverage Google’s large-language model to understand the content displayed on screen and recommend features that might be of use to you. Need to rephrase an important work email, or extract text summaries from a lengthy voice recording? The Reno 12 Pro 5G can step in to help you.

Again, it’s worth reiterating that Oppo is offering all of these features, subscription-free, for just £499. Of course, you’re not getting iPhone 15 Pro Max-level performance or Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra-level camera credentials for that price, but as a means of accessing generative AI features without demanding that you break the bank, the Reno 12 Pro 5G looks like a home run.
