OPPO Reno12 — My Honest Review

I spent a week using the OPPO Reno12, and I am quite impressed. OPPO truly delivered with this phone. It looks great, works smoothly, and performs well for a mid-range phone. Here’s what I experienced!


Design & Feel


The moment I opened the box, I noticed the phone felt high-quality. It's slim and lightweight, yet sturdy. I had the Silver Purple model, which looks fantastic in the light, giving it a more luxurious appearance than expected for the price.


The curved-edge display adds a touch of elegance, and it's comfortable to hold for long periods. The phone is also water and dust resistant (IP65), which reassures me when it’s raining lightly.



Screen Quality


The 6.7-inch AMOLED screen is impressive for its cost. The 120Hz refresh rate makes everything feel very smooth. Watching Netflix and YouTube in high resolution is a pleasure — the colors are vivid, and it handles bright outdoor light well.


For anyone who enjoys social media or watching videos, this screen is fantastic.


Performance


The phone has a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chip with 12GB RAM, plus extra virtual RAM. It handled all my needs — from social media to photo editing and casual gaming like PUBG and Call of Duty Mobile. 


It's not as fast as top-tier phones, but for day-to-day tasks and light gaming, I didn’t experience issues like lag or overheating.


Camera Features


The camera was a highlight. The 50MP main camera with OIS takes sharp, colorful photos during the day. The image detail is clear, and it captures a good range of light and dark. I was pleasantly surprised by the night mode — it produced clear low-light shots.


The 32MP front camera is great for selfies and video chats. Skin tones look natural, whether I’m taking selfies or portraits.



Battery Performance


The 5000mAh battery comfortably lasted a whole day with social media, YouTube, gaming, and calls. When I needed to recharge, the 67W SUPERVOOC fast charging got me from about 10% to 80% in a little over half an hour — very convenient when you’re in a hurry!


Additional Features


- Ready for 5G, which makes browsing and streaming fast.

- ColorOS 14 is smooth, can be customized, and has many useful features without feeling cluttered.

- The in-display fingerprint scanner is quick and reliable.

- AI-enhanced photo editing tools help with easy sharing on social media.


Positives:


- Stylish, premium design

- Smooth 120Hz AMOLED screen

- Reliable everyday performance

- Excellent camera for its price, especially in daylight

- Super-fast 67W charging

- Long-lasting battery


Negatives:


- Not suitable for heavy gaming — struggles with high settings in demanding games

- Low-light video performance is not as good as photos

- No wireless charging, which is common at this price but still disappointing


Final Thoughts


After using the OPPO Reno12, I believe it gives a lot of value for its cost. If you’re after a sleek, modern phone with a stunning screen, reliable camera, and fast charging, it's worth considering. It’s not made for serious gamers or high-end users, but for everyday use, it works well and looks good while doing it.


My Rating: 8.5/10

Hisense 75-Inch QLED 4K Smart TV (75Q6N) – My Hands-On Review

Image
Since using the Hisense 75Q6N for a few months now, I have to mention that the 75-inch QLED 4K Smart TV is one tremendous viewing experience at this price range. Right from movies to games or enjoying your favorite shows on television, the TV is a neat visuals display with impressive colors, quite satisfying to see. Following is my hands-on review. Unboxing & First Impressions The Hisense 75Q6N came in a ginormous but well-packaged box, and I was immediately impressed with the thin, sleek design. The bezels are extremely thin, making the screen look even bigger, and overall build is heavy and premium like. Mounting it was easy enough. The TV comes with two metal stand feet but I decided to wall-mount it for a cleaner look. Mounting it was easy, and the TV's weight was still in my range for a 75-inch screen. Picture Quality – Is It Worth the Hype? Having a QLED (Quantum Dot) TV, I expected vibrant colors and added contrast—and it exceeded those expectations by far! Colors ...

Synology DS923+ NAS DiskStation — My Personal Hands-On Review

Image
 Upgrade at last my home server setup, I went with the Synology DS923+ — and I must say, one of the smartest tech buys I've recently made. I've been using it every day for media storage, backups, file access on all devices, and even some simple virtualization. Here's how it served me from installation to everyday use. Unboxing & First Impressions Source: Harish Jonnalagadda / Android Central  (Image credit: Source: Harish Jonnalagadda / Android Central) Straight from the box, the DS923+ exudes a premium, solid, and purpose-built quality. The 4-bay form factor is professional yet compact. The tool-less drive trays made installing my 4x 4TB drives easy as pie — just pop them in and slide the trays back. It also includes dual 1GbE LAN, two USB 3.2 ports, and an eSATA port, with NVMe SSD caching or expansion through the M.2 slots underneath it being supported. It's kind of clear that this thing was made both for prosumers and enthusiasts. Setup & Software (DSM 7....

PlayStation 5: The Future of Gaming Is Here

Image
  The moment I laid my hands on the PlayStation 5 , it felt like a leap into the future of gaming-from unboxing to diving deep into my favorite games, this has been a journey of both discovery and excitement. So, if you're planning to upgrade or step into the PS ecosystem for the first time, let me share with you my experience that would help you decide.   Design: A Bold Statement   The first thing that struck me about the PS5 was its design. It’s unlike any console I’ve ever owned. The sleek, curvy white panels paired with the black core and blue lighting make it look futuristic. However, it’s huge! If you’re planning to add it to your setup, be prepared to rearrange some space. Once it’s in place, though, it’s a centerpiece that grabs attention. Love it or hate it, the design's definitely not subtle.   Performance: Speed and Power   But it wasn't until I first turned it on that the revelation hit: this custom SSD is no joke. The load times are ...
