Here is what to expect from the Oppo Reno 12 series for international markets

However, as we reported last week, it appears that Oppo has decided to seriously downgrade the global versions of the Reno 12 and Reno 12 Pro in comparison with the Chinese models.

A benchmark listing spotted less than a week ago confirmed the Reno 12 Pro will pack 12GB instead of 16GB of RAM like the Chinese model has. Another major difference is the chipset the global and Chinese models use.

For instance, we already know that the Oppo Reno 12 Pro is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 9200+ processor. Unfortunately, the global variant is rumored to feature a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset, at least according to Indian tipster @Sudanshu (via PlayfulDroid).

Also, if you haven’t noticed from the pictures leaked, only the Reno 12 Pro sports a quad-curved display like the Chinese Reno 12 and 12 Pro. The regular model comes with a dual side curved screen instead.

Take this with a grain of salt, but reports circulating on Twitter claim the Oppo Reno 12 Pro doesn’t come with a charger in the box, just a cable that can be used to charge the phone. In comparison, the Chinese model has an 80W SuperVOOC charging in the box.

No word on pricing yet for the international variants, but the Oppo Reno 12 costs as low as $375 in China, while the cheapest Pro model is priced at $470. Since the global variants are seriously downgraded specs-wise, we hope Oppo will lower the price considerably.
