Finding a device that stands out from the crowd is rare. But the Reno 12 Pro is one of such. I came to this conclusion after using the device hands-on for a week. Whether you’re just a regular user, a gaming enthusiast, or someone who values a perfect blend of form and function,  this phone is sure to impress. Let’s dive deeper into what makes the Reno 12 Pro truly standout in today’s competitive market.

First Impressions: A Design That Wows 

Right out of the box, you get the phone alongside the charger and a USB-type C cable.
The moment you lay eyes on the Reno 12 Pro, you’ll be struck by its sleek and sophisticated design. With a height of 161.45mm and a width of 74.79mm, it’s the perfect size for comfortable handling. It is the perfect size. The phone’s thickness varies slightly depending on the colour option you choose: 7.40mm for Space Brown and Sunset Gold, and 7.45mm for Nebula Silver. Weighing in at a mere 180–181 g, it’s light enough for daily use without sacrificing durability.

The colour palette is nothing short of stunning, with earthy tones, warm hues, and cool metallic finishes to suit every style. Plus, with an IP65 rating, you can rest assured that your phone is protected against dust and minor water exposure.

A Visual Treat: The Display 

The Reno12 Pro boasts a gorgeous 6.7-inch flexible AMOLED display, curved on all four sides for an immersive viewing experience. With a resolution of 2412 × 1080 and a pixel density of 394 PPI, the quality of videos and images is top-notch.

One of the standout features of this display is its dynamic refresh rate, which seamlessly switches between 60 Hz, 90 Hz, and 120 Hz depending on your activity. This not only enhances visual fluidity but also optimizes battery life. With a peak brightness of 1200 nits and support for HDR10 and HDR10+, you’ll enjoy crystal-clear visuals whether you’re indoors or outdoors.

Security at Your Fingertips

In today’s digital age, security is paramount, and the Reno12 Pro delivers. The in-display fingerprint sensor is both quick and reliable, while the face unlock feature provides added convenience. You can rest assured that your data is safe and secure, giving you peace of mind in a world where privacy is increasingly under threat.

Capture life’s moments in stunning details

The Reno 12 Pro is a game-changer for photography enthusiasts, offering a suite of powerful features that elevate the art of capturing moments. The 50MP front-facing camera, equipped with the S5KJN5 sensor, ensures that every selfie is captured with remarkable clarity and detail. Whether you’re snapping a quick selfie or composing a portrait, the quality is consistently high.

The rear camera array is equally impressive, featuring a 50MP main camera with a Sony LYT600 sensor and optical image stabilization (OIS). This combination guarantees stunning images, with vibrant, sharp photos even in challenging lighting conditions. The camera’s capabilities are further enhanced by a 2× optical zoom and up to 20× hybrid zoom, allowing you to capture distant subjects with ease.

One of the standout features of the Reno 12 Pro is the AI Eraser 2.0, which allows you to remove unwanted elements from photos effortlessly. This tool, combined with the main camera’s excellent detail and color accuracy, ensures that your images are always picture-perfect. Low-light performance is another strong suit, delivering minimal noise and vibrant colors that make nighttime photography a breeze.

Additionally, the AI Clear Face and AI Best Face features are perfect for group photos, ensuring that everyone looks their best. These features make the Reno 12 Pro an ideal companion for social gatherings, where capturing memories with friends and family is a must.

Performance that meets efficiency 

Under the hood, the Reno12 Pro is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300-Energy processor, built on TSMC’s 4nm process. This octa-core CPU, with a peak frequency of 2.5 GHz, ensures smooth performance whether you’re running multiple apps at the same time, playing your favourite game or streaming content or even doing both at the same time. The Arm Mali-G615 GPU further enhances the gaming experience, rendering graphics with ease and precision. In summary, the phone is capable of handling everything thrown at it.

A User-Friendly Interface

Running on ColorOS 14.1 based on Android 14, the Reno12 Pro offers an intuitive interface with plenty of customization options. Navigation is a breeze, even for those new to the ColorOS ecosystem.

All-Day Battery Life 

The Reno12 Pro excels in battery life, with a 5,000 mAh battery that keeps you powered up all day. Whether you’re streaming, gaming, or browsing, this phone keeps up with your demands. And when you do need to recharge, the 80W SUPERVOOC fast charging technology ensures you’re back to full power in no time.

Stay connected with cutting-edge technology. 

The Reno 12 Pro covers all bases when it comes to connectivity. With dual SIM support, expandable storage up to 1TB via microSD, 360° NFC, Bluetooth 5.4,, 5G support, and Wi-Fi 6, you’ll stay connected wherever you go.  It also has an IR Blaster. This means you can use your phone as your all-in-one remote 

A Smartphone that Truly Stands Out

The Reno 12 Pro is more than just a smartphone; it’s a testament to the incredible advancements in mobile technology. Combining stunning design with powerful performance and cutting-edge features, it’s a device that caters to a wide range of users. Whether you’re a photography enthusiast, a gamer, or someone who simply needs a reliable device for everyday tasks, the Reno 12 Pro is a worthy contender in the crowded smartphone market.
