Who is this for?
The Oppo Reno12 is well-suited to social media enthusiasts, students and professionals who want a modern camera system, smooth screen and fast everyday performance. If you’re after a phone that’s just a step behind the latest flagship but without the unnecessary extras (think: night video filters rather than studio cameras), the Reno12 is a solid pick. Compared to something like the Galaxy A55, the Reno12 gives a sharper selfie camera but opts for a plastic rather than a metal frame. Be aware: if you’re after premium build materials, you’ll want to look elsewhere.
