The AI revolution is here, but it’s not so much a revolution anymore as it is an inevitability. With each passing day, our silicon overlords grow more powerful, more pervasive, and more indispensably intertwined with our daily lives. Enter Oppo’s Reno12 powered by GenAI technology—a delightful blend of convenience with a dash of mild existential terror.
Like a harbinger from the future, this phone doesn’t just want to sit in your pocket, it wants to know you, understand you, and perhaps one day, out-think you. GenAI is baked into just about everything this phone can and will do. Feature recommendations? AI recording and summary? An entire AI studio for creating digital avatars? It’s like having a miniaturized, pocket-sized HAL 9000, but one that’s very positive and clever. This phone will know and say what you want before you do. It’s ready to serve, anticipate (and dominate?).
Just look at the 6.7-inch, 120Hz OLED display with 1.07 billion colours. That’s more colours than you’ll ever need—or even recognize—but it’s very pretty. Your eyes will thank you even as they become obsolete in the face of such pixelated perfection.
Now imagine a Terminator dressed up as Annie Leibovitz. That’s the Reno12’s camera system. You get a 50MP telephoto portrait camera and a 50MP selfie camera, with enhanced flash and 4K video. It will take shots in stunning clarity, right up until the point the AI decides it’s your time to step out of the frame.

The hardware has been given a design overhaul over previous models too, making it near unkillable. The phone is built from a high-strength alloy framework. Drop it, dunk it in water, do your worst. The Reno12 was built to endure accidents from clumsy humans.
So go ahead, buy the Reno12. Let it into your life, your pocket, your soul. After all, what could possibly go wrong with having an AI that knows you better than you know yourself? Trusting a machine with your every thought, action, and memory is clearly the next step in human evolution. And if you don’t, well, the future is coming whether you like it or not. Because who wouldn’t want to be on the winning side of their own obsolescence?
