The Oppo Reno12 series was introduced to the Chinese market yesterday, featuring two models: the Reno 12 and the Reno 12 Pro. These phones are the first Android devices to allow users to share live photos on social media platforms.
Reno 12 Series Enhances Live Photo Sharing
Continuing the legacy of its predecessors, the Reno 12 series promises an exceptional photography experience. Live Photos capture motion just before and after the shutter clicks. Although Android phones could previously take Live Photos, they couldn’t be shared on social media as anything other than still images.
The Reno12 series changes this by enabling users to share Live Photos directly on social platforms. Additionally, users can beautify and customize these photos by adjusting colors, adding filters, and incorporating text and stickers.
The global launch of the Reno 12 and 12 Pro is anticipated soon, though the international versions might come with different specifications.
Oppo Reno 12 Pro
In the Chinese market, the Reno 12 is priced at 2,699 Yuan ($372), while the 12 Pro starts at 3,199 Yuan ($440). Both models come with a 6.7-inch curved-edge OLED display, boasting a 2412 x 1080 pixels FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Camera-wise, they feature a 50-megapixel front camera and a triple rear camera system: a 50-megapixel (LYT-600 on the Reno 12, IMX890 on the Reno 12 Pro) + 8-megapixel + 50-megapixel (2x telephoto) setup. They are powered by a 5000mAh battery with 80W fast charging support.
