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.

Frequently Asked Questions

❓ Does the Exynos 2400 chip in the international S24+ suffer from overheating issues?
Early reports suggest the Exynos 2400 can run hotter than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, potentially leading to thermal throttling during prolonged, demanding tasks like gaming. However, Samsung has implemented software optimizations to mitigate this, and real-world performance varies depending on usage and ambient temperature.
❓ Is the 80W charging on the Oppo Reno12 Pro compatible with all USB-PD chargers?
The Oppo Reno12 Pro supports PD2.0, meaning it will work with most USB-PD chargers, but to achieve the full 80W charging speed, you'll need a charger specifically rated for that wattage. Using a lower-wattage charger will still charge the phone, but at a slower rate.
❓ How does the Dimensity 7300 Energy handle graphically intensive games like Genshin Impact?
The Dimensity 7300 Energy can run Genshin Impact, but you'll likely need to lower the graphics settings to achieve a consistently smooth frame rate. It won't match the sustained performance of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in the S24+, but it's still capable of providing a playable gaming experience.
❓ What kind of video recording capabilities does the Samsung Galaxy S24+ offer?
The S24+ is expected to support up to 8K video recording at 24/30fps, along with 4K recording at up to 60fps. It also likely includes features like Super Steady video stabilization and various video modes for creative shooting.
