New AI coming your way: The OPPO Reno12 Series 5G arrives in PH on July 12
Let's take a trip down memory lane 10 years ago. In 2014, the Philippines – specifically Makati City and Pasig – landed the top spot on Time Magazine's list of selfiest cities followed by Manhattan, New York and Miami, Florida.
In the same year, smartphone giant OPPO entered the local smartphone competition. Among its first offerings was the OPPO F1s, branded as the "Selfie Expert." As early as 10 years ago, OPPO has been leveraging current industry trends to deliver the needs of tech consumers.

AI for Portrait Mastery
With the OPPO Reno12 Series 5G, Filipino smartphone users now have easy access to editing functions that are otherwise available through premium versions of editing apps. And as cherry on top – artificial intelligence gives an additional flair to it.
OPPO's newest smartphones come with the AI Portrait feature with the AI Eraser 2.0 function which basically makes every photo the money shot by removing photobombers or any unwanted objects in the background in just a few taps.
There's also the AI Clear Face function that uses AI to make group photos with up to ten people clearer and with less distortion. Another interesting AI Portrait feature of the OPPO Reno12 Series 5G is called the AI Best Face. With this, no one gets pictured with their eyes closed. The OPPO Reno12 Series 5G uses AI in editing group photos of 3 or more people to ensure that everyone is smiling with their eyes.
The OPPO Reno12 Series 5G also lets users unleash their creativity with the AI Studio where there are endless possibilities to edit a single photo – whether it be changing backgrounds or changing the looks of people in a portrait.
These AI functions are complemented with the OPPO Reno12 Series 5G's powerful camera array consisting of a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-600 Sensor with All Pixel Omni-Directional PDAF and OIS for the OPPO Reno 12 5G and a 50-megapixel telephoto portrait lens for the OPPO Reno 12 Pro 5G.
Selfies on OPPO's new devices are taken through a 32-megapixel and 50-megapixel cameras with AI Portrait. Both the OPPO Reno12 5G and OPPO Reno12 Pro 5G allow adjusting exposure and skin tones on selfies through the Natural Tone function.
AI for Uninterrupted Connections
With artificial intelligence on the OPPO Reno12 Series 5G, OPPO stays true to the essence of carrying smartphones anywhere people go – to stay connected.
AI LinkBoost, OPPO's proprietary communication innovation, is designed for smooth and steady connections no matter the network conditions. With this feature, the OPPO Reno12 Series 5G is capable of smooth network switches, maintaining connectivity even in environments with weak signals, and fast and precise locations during navigation even in areas with skyscrapers.
Another promising feature on the OPPO Reno12 Series 5G is the BeaconLink technology which utilizes a 360-degree Surround Antenna solution with nine antennas that makes voice calls possible even in areas without mobile signal.
With BeaconLink technology, Bluetooth uplink capabilities are ramped up to 300% for device-to-device voice calls at up to 200 meters.
Other AI productivity functions onboard the OPPO Reno12 Series 5G include AI Clear Voice, AI Summary, AI Recording Summary, AI Writer, and AI Speak.
A piece of Tech Through and Through
Carrying all that impressive artificial intelligence-backed technologies, it's only fitting for the OPPO Reno12 Series 5G to look the part. The OPPO Reno12 Series 5G flaunts a futuristic look with fluid textures that enhance the devices' overall aesthetics.
The OPPO Reno12 5G comes dressed in eye-catching Astro Silver, Sunset Pink, and Matte Brown colorways, while the OPPO Reno12 Pro 5G is available in Nebula Silver and Space Brown.
