Moreover, the Reno12 Pro is offered in two captivating colors: Sunset Gold and Space Brown.

Furthermore, both Reno12 and Reno12 Pro feature a Futuristic Fluid Design and High-Strength Alloy Framework that create a stunning new look while ensuring the most robust design on the Reno Series phone yet with enhanced protection against drops, pressure, and water. With an IP65 rating, both models also provide exceptional dust and water resistance, while critical components across the phone, including openings, speakers, the USB-C port, and the SIM card tray, have been reinforced to make the phones even more waterproof.

Accelerating the adoption of AI phones

Earlier this year, OPPO outlined its commitment to bring AI capabilities to more people beyond the confines of high-end flagship smartphones, OPPO expects to bring generative AI features to about 50 million users by 2024. As part of these efforts, OPPO has joined Google, Microsoft, MediaTek, Qualcomm and other partners to accelerate the arrival of a new generation of AI Phones.

At the core of the Reno12 Series lies its unbeatable AI technology, including groundbreaking features such as AI Eraser 2.0, AI Toolbox, and a suite of other intelligent functionalities that set it apart as the ultimate AI phone on the market. Users can expect a seamless and intuitive experience, empowered by OPPO’s advanced AI capabilities that enhance every aspect of the smartphone usage.

The Reno12 Series introduce a suite of breakthrough GenAI features covering a range of everyday uses. With the newly updated AI Eraser, users can easily remove passing strangers in photos with a simple tap thanks to the feature’s ability to automatically identify unwanted people and objects. Furthermore, both phones feature two AI enhancements for group photos. AI Clear Face enhances group shots by restoring facial details for exceptional clarity, even for people farther from the camera. AI Best Face identifies individuals with closed eyes and uses GenAI technology to reopen them, ensuring every group photo is perfect.

Moreover, Reno12 Series users can capture life’s moments with the AI Portrait Expert featured in both phones, offering enhanced Flash Snapshot technology for agile camera exposure adjustments. This feature ensures photos capture realistic lighting effects and natural skin tones. Additionally, users can enjoy recording stunning 4K videos at 30fps on both the rear and front-facing cameras, delivering high-definition videos with four times the resolution of standard 1080p footage.

Alongside photo enhancements, the Reno12 Series also tap into the power of AI to bring added efficiency and creativity. Built on the Google Gemini large language model (LLM), AI Toolbox is a new addition to the smart sidebar that leverages powerful recognition capabilities to understand the content displayed on the screen and recommend AI features accordingly, such as quick social media content generation or content summaries for lengthy articles. In the Recording app, users can now also use the new AI Recording Summary tool to intelligently extract text summaries from a voice record and organize them into notes, with information such as to-do lists, times, locations, and other details highlighted and formatted for improved readability.

SanDisk has given one of its everyday USB-C flash drives a football-inspired makeover with the FIFA World Cup 2026 Global Edition, and the result is a storage accessory that blends practicality with collector appeal. While the internals remain familiar, it is the packaging, colourful finish and official FIFA branding that make this version stand out.

This review unit comes with 128GB of storage, USB 3.2 connectivity and quoted read speeds of up to 300MB/s, making it suitable for quickly transferring large photo libraries, 4K videos or project files between smartphones, tablets and laptops equipped with USB-C ports. It also supports SanDisk’s mobile backup application for users looking to automate backups from compatible Android devices.

Design is where this limited edition earns its personality. The drive adopts a compact, cap-style construction, with the USB-C connector protected by a removable cover that fits securely during use.

The colourful geometric artwork inspired by the FIFA World Cup 2026 branding gives the drive a fresh, premium appearance, while the embossed football pattern on the rear adds a subtle finishing touch.

Unlike many novelty editions, this one doesn’t feel overly flashy and still looks professional enough to carry daily.

A welcome addition is the included official FIFA World Cup 2026 lanyard. Besides adding collector value, it makes the tiny drive significantly easier to carry or attach to a backpack, camera bag or key organiser, reducing the chances of misplacing such a compact storage device.

In everyday handling, the flash drive feels lightweight yet well assembled. Its compact size means it occupies very little space when plugged into laptops or tablets, although, like most cap-based drives, users will need to keep track of the removable cap when in use.

Overall, the SanDisk FIFA World Cup 2026 Global Edition USB-C Flash Drive is a simple but attractive limited-edition product.

It combines dependable USB-C storage performance with official tournament branding that football fans will appreciate.

For users already looking for a high-speed USB-C flash drive, the FIFA edition adds enough exclusivity and thoughtful presentation to make it more memorable than a standard storage device, without compromising the practicality SanDisk is known for.
