Oppo Reno 12 & 12 Pro Leaks Reveal New Design and All Colors

Oppo has been steadily building anticipation for the upcoming Reno 12 series, culminating in the official launch date announcement for May 23rd. Alongside the date reveal, the company offered a glimpse of the phones' rear design. Now, thanks to leaks from Evan Blass (@evleaks), we have a more detailed look at both the Oppo Reno 12 and Reno 12 Pro in all their color glory.

Color Palette for Every Style

The leaked images showcase a distinct color strategy for each phone.

Oppo Reno 12: This phone caters to those who prefer a touch of whimsy. It retains the standard black color option but adds two unique pink variations. One features a soft, floral pattern for a delicate look, while the other boasts a light pink gradient for a more playful vibe.

Oppo Reno 12 Pro: The Pro version adopts a more sophisticated approach. It shares the black color with the standard Reno 12 but introduces a luxurious Silver Purple option. Additionally, it retains the light pink gradient option, offering a slightly more subdued version compared to the standard Reno 12.

Despite the color variations, the overall design language appears quite similar between the two phones, particularly in the black and darker color options. The most striking difference lies in the unique floral pattern adorning the standard Reno 12's pink variant.

Flat Display

Oppo is heavily promoting the Reno 12 series as "super beautiful small straight screen phones," highlighting a key design element - the flat display. This design choice aligns with the current trend in the smartphone market, where users are increasingly seeking a departure from curved displays.

Both leaked images and official teasers (via Weibo) confirm the presence of a flat display on the Reno 12 series, catering to this growing preference.

Aesthetics Beyond the Display

The design focus extends beyond the display to the rear panel. The leaked images reveal that the silver and purple color options on both phones boast a flowing water wave texture, adding a touch of visual intrigue. This textured finish appears to be a departure from the smooth finishes often seen on smartphones and could offer a more comfortable grip and a unique aesthetic.

A Cleaner Camera Approach

Another notable design change concerns the rear camera layout. The leaks suggest Oppo has opted for a redesigned triple-camera system that moves away from the previously used stacked lens design. This new approach creates a cleaner and more streamlined appearance on the back panel.

Oppo Reno 12 Pro: A Spec Peek

While official specifications for both phones remain under wraps until the May 23rd launch, leaks offer some insights into the Oppo Reno 12 Pro:

• Display: 6.7-inch 1.5K resolution
• Processor: Dimensity 9200+ chipset, promising powerful performance
• Battery: 5,000mAh capacity, likely offering extended usage time
• Charging: 80W wired charging for quick power-ups
• Cameras: Triple rear camera system (50MP main + 50MP 2x telephoto + ultrawide) for versatile photography
• Selfie Camera: 50MP sensor for high-resolution selfies

We'll have to wait until May 23rd for Oppo to officially unveil all the details, but these leaks have certainly fueled the excitement for the upcoming launch.
