Oppo has now announced global variants of both smartphones, but with radically different specifications. For starters, the cameras on the Reno12 Pro is radically different from the vanilla Reno12. Plus, both phones use a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 SoC instead of the Dimensity 8250 (Reno12) and Dimensity 9200+ (Reno12 Pro).

I don't know what it is with global variants getting worse specs compared to Chinese versions. The other two dimensity SOCs would've made these smartphones much better. 7300 is midrange at best.

As mentioned earlier, the Oppo Reno12 Pro and Reno12 come with a MediaTek SoC. Oppo calls it the Dimensity 7300 Energy, which comes with the company's Trinity Engine. It uses the 'power of AI' to dynamically allocate resources to apps.

Hmm...

Lastly, the Oppo Reno12 Pro and Reno12 come with a 5,000 mAh that supports 80 Watt SuperVOOC fast charging with a proprietary charger. USB-PD peripherals can charge the smartphone at up to 55 Watts.

At least USB-PD at high watts is supported.

Interesting, after all the fuss about improved exynos and the success of the exynos 2400. Sounds counter intuitive but i guess exynos 2500 won't be ready prime time even by samsung standards if they do not include it in their flagship S25 series smartphones.

I guess you need to do a reinstallation. I do not experience this issue.

Interesting

Its supervooc without a question. That's what vivo, realme, oppo, oneplus, iqoo all use. If it was PD it would've been news too.

Yeah, that would be great. It would also improve activity and engagement level in this community.

Yeah, the tinted icons are very refined as can be seen in this post: https://androiddev.social/@MishaalRahman/112594519877882594

GPU drivers especially those on mediatek are a mess. My dimensity 7050 smartphone is running on Rp32 GPU driver version. Which makes it not vulnerable because it runs on an older driver version! The affected driver versions are Bifrost and Valhall drivers from r34p0 through r40p0 for Bifrost and Valhall gpus

No, it's still there. Just more customisable. You can also change the Control centre so its similar to stock android instead of IOS/colorOS/HyperOS.

Unfortunately, updates take a long time to arrive. The reviewer has yet to receive an official software update. He has also been dealing with an annoying call bug. Nothing phone 2a in comparison has received multiple updates to fix issues. Get a nothing or pixel if you want Stock android look and feel while getting some semblance of software support.

Pros

• Standout design.
• Excellent screen.
• Long battery life, super-fast charging.
• Superb speakers.
• Great photo quality.
• Great performance.
• Vanilla Android OS with a competitive set of extra features.

Cons

• Throttles and heats up considerably under prolonged loads.
• Video recording quality is mediocre.

It should also be doable on Motorola. They also have similar Ready for desktop mode.

Google: You owe your phone so long as you don't replace parts not from us and bring it for service. If you do it's ours, forever! Even though, we take your money in the 1st place!

The previous ones were so much better.

3.5mm jack would be nice. But, its not a deal breaker for me. But, sdcard is a different beast. Having an external card means you can easily transfer some data without being reliant on expensive cloud storage or finicky android data transfer.

Plus, when you factory reset your phone. You can selectivity backup some data and simply pop the card back in without losing all your stuff.

The last two times there were also errors like not being able to upvote anything. Later, I found it was a global youtube issue. YouTube needs to improve to be able to serve people at its scale.

I'm a paying YouTube premium subscriber and use adguard. But, I have been experiencing the YouTube app being slow in loading comments for some reason.

Dead cells, genshin impact, titan quest, vampire survivors, magic survival, delight games, wreckfest, interstellar pilot, 9th dawn 3 RPG, 20 minutes till dawn, Alien shooter 2 reloaded, Asphalt extreme Netflix edition, Bit dungeon 3, morphite, crying suns, death's door Netflix edition, doomdepths, dragonfist limitless, powder roguelike, grimvalor, hollow knight, hero siege: pocket edition, magium.

There are lots more but these are the games which I mix and play once a while.

Pros

• Rich accessory package.
• Premium build quality and no-nonsense design.
• Excellent OLED display with exemplary HDR support and high refresh rate behavior.
• Very fast charging.
• Very good stereo speaker setup.
• The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset offers excellent performance, flagship connectivity, and features.
• Great all-around camera performance.

Cons

• Battery life could be better.
• Ultrawide sensor is a bit dated with mostly unimpressive video capture.

What good are 5-7 years of updates? If you don't let us repair our phones when we need. Assuming, everything else is fine.
