Thanks to the easy-to-use AI Toolbox, users can conveniently call on these features from the sidebar to boost their productivity across a range of scenarios.

Audaciously sleek, conspicuously solid

Taking the Reno Series firmly into the future on Reno12 and Reno12 F is a bold, forward-looking design centered around flagship design.

Reno12 showcases a futuristic space-age silver exterior. The rear glass panel of Astor Silver has been crafted with OPPO’s Fluid Ripple Texture, creating a 3D-like sensation of rippling water cascading across a pond.

The innovative use of the parallax effect ensures this visual sensation is achieved while maintaining the same mirror-smooth texture and feel that has become a hallmark of the Reno Series. For a more classic look, Matte Brown features a rich cocoa hue in a fingerprint-free finish.

Keeping this screen shielded on Reno12 is Corning® Gorilla® Glass 7i with its exceptional drop protection.

With an IP65 rating, it also provides exceptional dust and water resistance, while critical components across the phone, including openings, speakers, the USB-C port, and the SIM card tray, have been reinforced to make the phones even more waterproof.

Smooth, seamless and steady connectivity

Making its way to the Reno Series on both Reno12 and Reno12 F is the latest generation of OPPO’s proprietary AI LinkBoost technology. Consisting of nine individual antennas arranged in a 360° surround architecture, AI LinkBoost is able to boost signal reception and optimize network selection using a system-level AI model to perform agile network switching based on the user’s network environment. For the new generation of AI LinkBoost, OPPO has also conducted extensive local testing and optimization in markets worldwide to ensure consistently stable connectivity. This includes improving network latency in areas with weak signal or busy networks, enhancing seamless switch between WiFi and cellular network, and accelerating signal recovery speeds when exiting elevators or basements.
