The camera-centric Reno 12 has AI capabilities that include an improved version of intelligent object removal, a smart mode for capturing optimal shots, a feature that selects the best facial expressions in group photos and an AI-driven suite of editing tools. 

The Oppo Reno 12 has a triple-camera configuration dominated by a 50MP Sony LYT 600 sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle sensor and a 2MP macro sensor. The primary and macro sensors stood out for me during preliminary testing. The wide angle lens is more of a hit-and-miss.

The Reno 12 5G boasts a range of protective features like certification for resistance against dust and water ingress (IP65) and advanced scratch-resistant glass technology for the display.
