Unlock New Photography Experiences With GenAI
As is usual with the OPPO Reno series, the Reno12 Pro 5G is a stellar portrait photography machine. When we got our hands on the latest Reno device, we were particularly excited about the proprietary Ultra-Clear Portrait Camera System, which debuted on last year’s Reno 11 Pro 5G. Thanks to the powerful trio of cameras and advanced AI based software tuning, the OPPO Reno12 Pro 5G turned up with professional-grade portraits every time, no matter the situation or conditions.
It only helped the matter further that the cameras are loaded with advanced innovative goodies like All Pixel Omni-Directional PDAF and OIS for faster, stable focusing, and Flash Snapshot for nuanced shutter speed adjustment based on the ambient light levels. And with 0.6x, 1x, 2x, and 5x zoom on offer, we could capture everything from landscapes, candid moments, and close-up portraits with Instagram-worthy quality and clarity straight out of the camera.
The OPPO Reno12 Pro 5G boasts a 50 MP main camera fitted with a Sony LYT-600 sensor, which is backed by a new 50 MP Samsung S5KJN5 telephoto portrait camera and an 8MP Sony IMX355 ultra-wide camera. And to round out its impressive camera system, the Reno12 Pro also features a whopping 50 MP front-facing camera. Not only did we have fun capturing tons of portrait pictures but also fine-tuning the details afterward using the GenAI Suite of AI features on offer. Let’s look at these features.
AI Eraser 2.0

Before and After AI Eraser 2.0
The AI Eraser 2.0 is one of the most fascinating tools we’ve used during our time with the OPPO Reno12 Pro 5G. Be it the unruly maze of electricity wire in the group photo at Delhi’s Jama Masjid or the stray stranger in the background of a perfectly framed beach shot, you can now remove unappealing elements from a picture with a single touch of a button. We were particularly impressed by its ability to intelligently identify and remove objects like these, leaving behind a clean and natural-looking final image.
The best part is that the Reno12 Pro 5G comes with the second-generation AI Eraser 2.0. This diffusion model has been trained using billions of public domain images to offer 98% image recognition accuracy. We could click pictures without missing a bit, free of any worry about unwanted objects, knowing that we can always remove them in post-processing.
Natural Tone
The GenAI features of the OPPO Reno12 Pro 5G not only allowed us to remove unwanted objects or people from the frame but also intelligently adjusted the skin tone and lighting effects. The Natural Tone of the Reno12 Pro 5G detects the scene of the frame including ambient lighting, surrounding buildings, and diverse skin tones to reproduce the most natural skin tone every time. It works regardless of whether you are clicking an individual selfie or a group photo. Thanks to the Natural Tone, we could post our pictures on social media on the go, straight from the camera.
AI Studio
One of the first intriguing features of GenAI photo editing was the ability to generate an inspired digital avatar or profile of yourself. The AI Studio does the same but with an interactive element to it. Not only can you use the AI Studio to generate avatars or profile pictures in various styles, but also invite your friends to join in on the fun through an invite link. And since the link works with all smartphone brands, we had fun creating themed group AI photos with colleagues and friends.
AI Portrait Shot Suite

Before: AI Best Face
After: AI Best Face
The OPPO Reno12 Pro 5G comes with the AI Perfect Shot Suite featuring two GenAI features to ensure great picture quality every single time. We loved using the AI Clear Face as it allowed us to click perfect group pictures in a single take. The feature is intended to boost details by enhancing the facial features of every single person in the group.
Next up is the AI Best Face, which is another AI-powered feature intended for group shots. It’s a common phenomenon to have at least one person either blinking or looking in the other direction. The AI Best Face can counter that by using generative AI and advanced recognition of human faces and expressions to turn closed eyes into open ones. With the OPPO Reno12 Pro 5G, you can rest assured that group pictures will definitely turn out to be flawless in the first take itself.
Get More Done Efficiently With OPPO Reno12 Pro 5G
There’s more to the GenAI features of the OPPO Reno12 Pro 5G than making your pictures look good. OPPO has equipped the ColorOS 14.1 with a Google Gemini-powered AI Toolbox with advanced features to boost productivity. We loved the AI Recording Summary and its ability to record meetings or conversations in Hindi or English and generate a summary complete with notes, transcripts and highlights of the conversation. It ensured we didn’t miss a thing from the multiple editorial meetings we had to attend during our time with the device.
We also liked being able to grasp the gist of long articles and reviews online without having to read, thanks to the AI Speaker and AI Summary. The former can read the article out for you while the latter can generate concise summaries and highlights with crucial information pinpointed for easy comprehension. Then there’s the AI Writer that takes our messaging and social media post writing to the next level with automatic word suggestions and grammar corrections. In our time with the OPPO Reno12 Pro 5G, we enjoyed typing out text swiftly without having to worry about typos or grammatical errors. Together these three features make up the AI Toolbox that greatly helped to enhance everyday productivity.
We also loved the AI Clear Voice feature that filters out the background noise to make the call voice clear on both ends. The OPPO Reno12 Pro 5G harnesses AI power to improve network connectivity. The AI LinkBoost feature analyses the network conditions and data types to ensure stable and fast internet connectivity. We were able to stream YouTube videos and browse social media feeds even in underground tunnels of Delhi Metro’s Yellow Line.
The OPPO Reno12 Pro 5G packs a punch under the hood with the MediaTek Dimensity 7300-Energy processor, making it a breeze to handle your daily tasks and even some gaming. On top of that, it boasts some clever AI tricks. The Trinity Engine acts like a personal phone assistant for your memory, storage, and battery. It frees up space by intelligently compressing app data and optimises CPU usage based on how you use your phone. And speaking of battery, the 5000mAh capacity will keep you going, but if you do need a top-up, the 80W SuperVOOC fast charging will get you back in action in no time.
A Standout Design and a Resilient Display That Makes a Statement
The OPPO Reno12 Pro 5G strives to make you look good in every shot while looking like a million dollars itself. The smartphone is available in two stunning colours aptly named Sunset Gold and Space Brown with a timeless two-tone matte-gloss design. And it’s not just style that the Reno12 Pro 5G is thin (7.4mm) and light, but still durable with an IP65 dust/splash resistance rating.
The smartphone flaunts OPPO’s proprietary high-strength alloy framework, which has earned it Premium Performance 5 Star Multi-Scene protection certification from SGS. This combination of sturdiness and aesthetic innovation makes the Reno12 Pro 5G a standout offering in the premium mid-range segment.
