Oppo Reno 12 Specs, Features (Expected)

The Oppo Reno 12 Pro uses the MediaTek Dimensity 9200+ Star Speed Edition. Both of these chips will incorporate MediaTek Star Speed Engine technology, which has been thoroughly upgraded to unlock the full potential of end-to-end gaming.

This octa-core processor uses the TSMC 4nm process and features 1 x Arm Cortex-A78 prime core operating at up to 3.1 GHz, 3 x Arm Cortex-A78 performance cores at 3.0 GHz, and 4 x Arm Cortex-A55 efficiency cores at 2.0 GHz. It also includes the Mali-G610 MC6, similar to the Dimensity 8200.

The Oppo Reno 12 series adopts a diamond architecture design. The middle frame, developed by Oppo’s own research and development, features the strongest die-cast aluminum alloy in the industry, with significantly higher compressive strength than the industry standard, according to the company. The series also supports IP65 dustproof and waterproof ratings, along with rain touch functionality
