OPPO Reno 12 debuts as the first Android phone with live photo sharing and retouching, foreshadowing a trend for future Android devices.
Context
OUR TAKE The OPPO Reno 12’s debut signifies a major step forward in the world of mobile photography and social sharing. As the first Android device to offer live photo sharing and retouching, it sets a new standard for what users can expect from their smartphones. With the Reno 12, OPPO has not only met but exceeded the demands of the digital age, offering a device that is as powerful as it is user-friendly. –Rebecca Xu, BTW reporter The live photo feature improves the photographic experience by showing a moment in a more dynamic way. It saves a short three-second video with sound together with the main still image. The result is a hybrid file that can be kept like an ordinary photo but can also replay the scene with movement and audio. When the user presses on the screen, the photo becomes a brief animation that revives the captured instant, giving greater depth to the memory.

Analysis
This feature changes the way memories are preserved. It offers a layer of creativity and expression that still images cannot provide. According to Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, live photos allow people to relive experiences in a way that makes them “truly come alive.” The design of playback is fully built into the iOS system. Users handle live photos as they would other images in their gallery, but with the added ability to see the scene come to life. The technology is both simple to use and carefully engineered. It reflects Apple’s goal of combining intuitive design with an element of surprise and delight. OPPO has recently introduced this concept into the Android market. On May 20, the company announced that the Reno 12 series will be the first Android phones to support the sharing of live photos. Images taken with this function can be viewed on the device and uploaded directly to social platforms. Liu Zuohu, OPPO’s Chief Product Officer, explained that the Reno 12 is meant to set new trends and show technologies usually reserved for higher-end devices. He stressed that the series should not be seen as mid-range but as a product designed to bring advanced features to more users.
