The Reno12 Series, which underscores OPPO’s commitment to making AI available across its smartphone lineup, also integrates AI Summary, AI Record Summary, AI Clear Voice, AI Writer and AI Speak into the smartphones’ functionalities to streamline productivity tasks.

Gen AI in Photography

If you ever clicked a photograph with your friends and family only to have that perfect moment ruined by a photobomber in the background, then OPPO’s AI Eraser 2.0 is the feature for you; it removes background distractions at the touch of a button. The AI Eraser 2.0’s diffusion model has been trained on billions of public domain images to offer up to 98% image recognition accuracy. With its ability to recognise human beings and almost any everyday object—whether a trash can or a lamp post—AI Eraser uses Generative AI to remove distractions and fill that space with results that rivals professional editing software.

Putting your best foot forward with the perfect headshot for your LinkedIn profile no longer requires photo-editing software. The Reno12 Series introduces AI Perfect Shot, a suite of AI-powered features that work together to deliver stunning pictures. At the heart of this technology is AI Clear Face, an industry-leading technology that portrays every person clearly and vividly in group photos as if they were the main character. Unlike traditional facial optimisation, AI Clear Face uses independently trained large models to generate high-definition details of facial textures, hair, eyebrows and more.

How often have you shot a group photo only to realise that one person had their eyes closed? OPPO’s AI Best Face features help you create the perfect shot through its recognition of human faces, expressions, and its ability to turn closed eyes into open.

Together, these features elevate regular pictures to professional-looking shots that retain natural beauty while optimising light and shadow areas, without complex photo-editing tools.

The Reno 12 Series’ AI Studio feature adds a touch of fun to the photography experience by letting you transform any photo into a digital avatar. Be it a cowboy or a cyberpunk hero, AI Studio empowers you to let your imagination run wild and uses the latest Generative AI technology to recreate images in different styles.

All these AI capabilities leverage OPPO’s extensive experience in deploying AI at the core of the photography experience. From advanced tone mapping algorithms that enhance light, colour, and texture with a touch of drama to AI denoising that incorporates OIS and all-pixel omnidirectional PDAF to eliminate motion blur, the latest imaging advancements are seamlessly integrated into the photo capture process.

OPPO’s facial-recognition algorithms can even detect and enhance up to 296 facial features in real time to reduce blemishes and improve complexions based on skin tone, age, and gender.

Smart AI Productivity

Designed as an everyday AI companion, OPPO enhances user productivity with the built-in AI Toolbox, powered by the Google Gemini LLM. It includes utilities like AI Writer, AI Summary, and AI Speak, all designed to make tedious tasks easier and quicker.

From writing professional emails to summarising the minutes of a meeting, the smartphone lends a helping hand to enhance everyday use cases. Never miss out on critical information again. AI Summary makes grasping information quicker by providing concise summaries and highlights of lengthy content such as reports and online articles. Additionally, it can pinpoint crucial dates and essential terms, ensuring you stay informed and up to date.

The Reno12 Series’ AI Recording Summary saves time by summarising daily office meetings. You can record meetings—in English and Hindi—as long as five hours and use the onboard AI to generate notes, summaries and transcripts at the touch of a button.

The AI Writer seamlessly integrates into everyday workflows to elevate communication. The feature completes sentences to speed up replying to office communication or offers word suggestions and grammar correction so that you can focus on what matters.

AI-based Efficiency

The Reno12 Series employs AI to keep you connected with loved ones, even in tough network situations. AI Clear Voice utilises advanced algorithms to reduce background noise by up to 40dB while enhancing human voices. This ensures clear conversations on standard, WhatsApp and Zoom calls, even in noisy places like concerts and festivals.

Another feature,AI LinkBoost identifies data types—messages, photos, and videos—to optimise network use and cut data lag by up to 25%. This means you can communicate seamlessly even in bustling places like concerts and festivals. With intelligent diversion technology, AI LinkBoost accelerates sharing by 25% and minimises stutter and video lag.

The OPPO Reno12 Series also harnesses the power of AI to improve battery life. Through OPPO’s Trinity Engine, it identifies each app’s computational demands and adjusts the processor’s power consumption accordingly. This real-time optimisation ensures maximum efficiency, extending battery longevity and minimising lag during everyday use. Both devices in the OPPO Reno12 Series also pack large 80W 5000mAh batteries with SUPERVOOC_TM Flash Charge that is juiced to 100% in just 46 minutes. Additionally, OPPO’s Smart Charging, backed by AI and machine learning, adapts to your charging habits to provide safer and more efficient charging to preserve the battery’s longevity and maintain peak performance for over four years of normal use. Specific optimisations for popular games, improved network scheduling, and intelligent background management collectively reduce power usage and extend battery life significantly.

With the Reno12 Series, OPPO introduces its BeaconLinktechnology that provides a dependable fallback during network outages. It allows seamless one-to-one voice calls via Bluetooth in no-network environments such as underground garages, concerts, music festivals, and remote countryside settings.

Finally, OPPO’s RAM-Vitalization technology enhances app startup and switching speeds by retaining up to five apps in memory for 72 hours. ROM-Vitalization—integrated into the Trinity Engine—compresses infrequently accessed data, potentially saving up to 20GB on a 256GB phone.

Your Everyday AI Companion

OPPO continues its dedication to democratising access to AI on smartphones with ‘Your Everyday AI Companion’, the Reno12 Series. It integrates OPPO’s latest AI Imaging advancements and GenAI features, setting a new standard in India by offering comprehensive AI capabilities within its price range.
