Oppo recently launched the Manish Malhotra edition of the Reno 12 Pro in a bid to make the 'AI phone' stand out ahead of the upcoming festival season. But do the new design changes justify paying the premium for a special edition phone?
Unpacking:
The Reno 12 Pro Manish Malhotra Edition comes in a black colored box with a gold embroidered floral design with the word 12 boldly outlined, followed by the Oppo and Manish Malhotra branding at the bottom. Inside the box you are immediately greeted with a black colored pamphlet as a reminder that this is a special edition phone.
Additionally, you get the phone itself, a plastic case, some paperwork, an 80W SUPERVOOC charger, and a gold-colored SIM eject tool.

Design and aesthetics:
The back of the Reno 12 Pro Manish Malhotra Edition follows the same design cues as the box, with a beautiful gold floral motif running from top to bottom, and the matte black background only serves to accentuate the look.
There's Manish Malhotra and Oppo branding among the floral motif, but otherwise there's no noticeable difference between this phone and the regular Reno 12 Pro.
When you turn on the phone, you are immediately greeted by a gold background with the same floral embroidery. Unfortunately, there are no themes, widgets, or other backgrounds to keep the special edition torch burning.

On the software side, you get the same artificial intelligence features as the Reno 12 Pro, including AI Eraser, AI Summary, AI Speak and AI Translator (for browsers), AI Studio, AI Perfect Shot, AI Best Face and BeaconLink (for creating Bluetooth-based phone calls). You will discover this and more in our full Oppo Reno 12 Pro review.
Pronunciation:
Oppo Reno 12 Pro Manish Malhotra Edition is priced at ₹37,999 for the 12GB RAM/256GB storage variant, making it just a ₹1,000 premium for the standard variant.
So do you have to pay a little more? The Manish Malhotra Edition could be a great option for anyone who has already decided to buy the Reno 12 Pro and likes the design of their phone to stand out from the rest without going too over the top.
