The Oppo Reno 12 Pro could unseat the Google Pixel 8a as the best budget AI phone


Our guide to the best AI phones has only been around for a few days, but Oppo is hoping that its latest phone, the Oppo Reno 12 Pro 5G, can immediately knock the Google Pixel 8a out of its position as the best cheap AI phone of 2024.

Having been officially announced at Oppo's inaugural A.Island event in Ibiza (get it?) on June 18, the Reno 12 Pro 5G offers an impressive set of flagship-level generative AI features for the decidedly non-flagship price of £499. Sure, the Pixel 8a costs the same price in the UK (and $499/AU$849 elsewhere), but the Reno 12 Pro 5G combines its AI with some interesting design quirks that are sure to hit the appeal. of Google's latest similar (yet undeniably impressive) Pixel Phone.
