Display Comparison
Both the Oppo Reno12 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S24+ feature high-quality displays built on efficient 4nm chipsets, but differ in peak brightness and likely panel technology. The S24+ boasts a measured peak brightness of 1452 nits, slightly exceeding the Reno12 Pro’s 1380 nits. While both are excellent for outdoor visibility, the S24+ has a marginal advantage. Given Samsung’s history, the S24+ likely utilizes an LTPO panel for adaptive refresh rates, potentially improving battery efficiency compared to the Reno12 Pro, though this isn't confirmed in the provided data. Bezels appear comparable based on available imagery, and color accuracy is expected to be strong on both devices.
Camera Comparison
The provided data lacks detailed camera specifications, but we can infer some differences. Samsung typically prioritizes computational photography and versatile camera systems. The S24+ likely features a larger main sensor and more advanced image processing algorithms than the Reno12 Pro. While the Reno12 Pro may offer competitive image quality in good lighting conditions, the S24+ is expected to excel in low-light scenarios and provide more consistent results across various shooting conditions. The presence of OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) is assumed on both devices, but the S24+ likely has a more sophisticated implementation. The Reno12 Pro’s inclusion of a 2MP macro camera is likely a marketing feature with limited practical benefit.
Performance
The performance gap is the most significant differentiator. The Samsung Galaxy S24+ utilizes either the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (USA/Canada/China) or the Exynos 2400 (International), both built on a 4nm process. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3’s CPU configuration – 1x3.39GHz Cortex-X4, 3x3.1GHz Cortex-A720, 2x2.9GHz Cortex-A720, and 2x2.2GHz Cortex-A520 – represents a substantial leap over the Oppo Reno12 Pro’s Mediatek Dimensity 7300 Energy (4x2.5 GHz Cortex-A78 & 4x2.0 GHz Cortex-A55). This translates to faster app loading, smoother multitasking, and superior gaming performance. While the Dimensity 7300 Energy is a capable chip, the S24+’s chipset offers a clear advantage for demanding users. The S24+ also benefits from faster RAM (likely LPDDR5x) contributing to overall system responsiveness.
Battery Life
Battery life is a key strength of the Oppo Reno12 Pro. Its active use score of 14:54h surpasses the Samsung Galaxy S24+'s 12:30h. This difference is partially attributable to the more efficient Dimensity 7300 Energy chipset and potentially more aggressive power management. However, the Reno12 Pro also boasts significantly faster charging: 80W wired charging delivers 47% charge in 18 minutes and 100% in 46 minutes, compared to the S24+'s 45W charging which achieves 65% in 30 minutes. The Reno12 Pro also offers reverse wired charging, a feature absent on the S24+, adding to its versatility.
Buying Guide
Buy the Oppo Reno12 Pro if you need exceptional battery endurance, incredibly fast charging, and a vibrant display for media consumption, all without breaking the bank. Buy the Samsung Galaxy S24+ if you prioritize raw processing power for demanding tasks like gaming and video editing, and value the broader Samsung ecosystem and software support.
