Last month, Oppo announced the Reno 12 and Reno 12 Pro for the Chinese market. Recently, the brand confirmed that these phones would be available globally this month. However, it is highly likely that the global versions will come with different specifications compared to their Chinese counterparts. Leaker Chun, who previously revealed details about the Reno 12F’s 4G and 5G versions, has also leaked information about the chipset and cameras for the global versions of the Reno 12 and 12 Pro smartphones.
Chinese Reno 12, Reno 12 Pro Chipset and Camera Details
Before diving into the leaked details about the global versions of the Reno 12 and 12 Pro, let's review the chipset and cameras of their Chinese versions. The Reno 12 in China is powered by the Dimensity 8250, while the Reno 12 Pro features the Dimensity 9200+ Star Speed Edition chipset.Dimensity 9200+ Star Speed Edition chipset
The Chinese version of the Reno 12 includes a triple camera setup with a 50-megapixel OIS-enabled (Sony LYT-600), an 8-megapixel (IMX355 ultrawide), and a 50-megapixel (Samsung JN5, 2x telephoto) sensor. Conversely, the Reno 12 Pro comes with a 50-megapixel OIS-assisted (Sony IMX890), an 8-megapixel (Sony IMX355, ultrawide), and a 50-megapixel (Samsung JN5, 2x telephoto) camera system.
Global Reno 12, Reno 12 Pro Chipset and Camera Leak
According to the leaker, the global versions of the Reno 12 and Reno 12 Pro will be equipped with the Dimensity 7300 Energy chipset. The global version of the Reno 12 will feature a 50-megapixel, an 8-megapixel, and a 2-megapixel triple camera setup on the back, which means it will lack a telephoto camera. On the other hand, the leak indicates that the global Reno 12 Pro will sport a 50-megapixel LYT-600 primary camera, essentially a rebranded Sony IMX882 sensor.
Final Thoughts
Earlier this year, the global Reno 11 and 11 Pro launched with the Dimensity 7050 and Dimensity 8200 chipsets, respectively. While the Reno 12 might feature the newer Dimensity 7300 chip, it remains uncertain whether the brand will opt for this chipset over the D8200 or something superior.
Additionally, the global Reno 11’s camera setup includes a 32-megapixel telephoto camera. However, the new leak suggests that the successor model will not have a telephoto camera, a claim that seems questionable. Therefore, we advise readers to take this information with caution, as some details may not be accurate.
