Oppo has released two new Reno smartphones featuring quad-curved displays – Reno12 and Reno12 Pro. In addition, they are thinner, lighter, and tougher than their Reno11 predecessors.
The phone’s mid-frame is made of die-cast aluminum alloy, which is much more durable and less prone to damage when dropped. The old models lacked an IP rating, but the 12-series is water-resistant (IP65). It also works even if your fingers and the display are wet.
