The OPPO Reno12 Series 5G is now available in the Philippines, and it comes with a bunch of AI features that are unique to the lineup.
If you’ve been following tech releases this year, you’ll probably agree that 2024 is the year of AI for tech. After all, aside from various AI services like text and image generators, devices are also harnessing the power of AI. These aren’t limited to laptops though as even this year’s newest phones have AI-powered features.
As such, AI has quickly become more prevalent in today’s smartphone market, but the OPPO Reno12 Series 5G stands out in this regard thanks to its range of unique AI tech.
While the OPPO Reno12 Series 5G has some AI features that can also be found in other devices, two particular features are unique to the lineup. One of these is the AI Studio which uses generative AI to create unique images, while the other is made to enhance the phone’s connectivity even in challenging situations.
So, if you’re in the market for a new smartphone, here are the features that make the OPPO Reno12 Series 5G stand out among this year’s AI phones.
AI Studio – Generative AI for Creative Digital Avatars
When it comes to photography, the OPPO Reno12 Series 5G comes with a bunch of AI enhancements such as AI Eraser 2.0 which smartly removes people and objects in the background with precision.
Perhaps the highlight of the OPPO Reno12 Series 5G though when it comes to AI for photography is the AI Studio. This app is made specifically for OPPO’s AI-powered phones, and what it does is give users the ability to transform their photo into a unique digital avatar that can be used as a creative profile picture for social media.
How it works is that you can choose the filter you want to use which includes a cowboy in the Wild West, a sci-fi soldier, a holiday-themed portrait, and more using your OPPOints. Once you select your preferred filter, you can then choose your own photo that you want to transform and wait for a couple of seconds for the AI Studio to do its magic creating your own digital avatar. There are even more creative options like the collage or video game portrait style.
Here are some examples of the AI Studio-generated images:
As you can see, the images generated with this feature look quite impressive, enough that they look like they were made with proper image editing software.
Thanks to this, you can generate all sorts of images for your needs. For instance, you can go with a Dia De Los Muertos theme for your main Instagram account and also generate a professional-looking image for your LinkedIn page.
Aside from this generative AI feature that’s OPPO Reno12 Series 5G-exclusive, users with the new OPPO AI phone are also guaranteed excellent connectivity thanks to the AI LinkBoost tech.
AI LinkBoost – For Excellent Connectivity in Challenging Conditions

In simple terms, the new OPPO Reno12 Series 5G phones should enjoy stable mobile connections nearly everywhere. While users living in a place with good mobile connectivity may not notice this feature, AI LinkBoost becomes invaluable in challenging situations where mobile reception is important such as inclement weather (commonplace here in the Philippines).
Ahead of the phone’s launch, OPPO tested the AI LinkBoost feature in partnership with Smart. During the test, it was confirmed that the AI connectivity feature worked as intended.
