Just a few days ago we talked about how to measure the performance of artificial intelligence on your phone. In that article we highlighted that this has become both a commercial hook and a flagship element of smartphones, which is why all the brands are talking about it. The problem? Access to certain features doesn’t tend to come cheap, but 5G didn’t come cheap either, and there are now some great options for under $200.
Some companies have started a crusade to reduce the cost of accessing artificial intelligence and OPPO is one of them. Why do we say this? Because the Chinese manufacturer has just introduced the OPPO Reno12 F and Reno12 FS in Spain, both in 4G and 5G versions. They are all affordable AI phones, albeit with a very strange naming pattern.
