It has got a plastic frame and back cover, a clear hint that this is not a premium flagship, but the OPPO Reno 12 has a lot going for it to be desirable. Imagine getting near premium performance and features at half the price of a premium flagship. That is something.
OPPO Reno 12 checks the boxes for IR blaster, water and dustproof resistance, and aptX-HD Bluetooth codec. But if you really must use an eSIM, you will have to skip this one. There is no support for wireless charging either; it is cabled charging all the way. Thankfully, the supported charging speed is really fast, allowing you to fill up your battery from zero in just about a quarter of an hour. Note, though, that you can’t use a 3.5mm headphone jack with it.
