Oppo Reno 12 F 5G Price in Kenya
The Oppo Reno 12 F 5G price in Kenya is KSh 44,699 at Avechi for the 12GB RAM / 256GB model. It is in stock with a 1-year warranty and available for delivery or pick-up from our Nairobi shop.
The Reno 12 F 5G was announced at the end of June 2024 as an affordable way into the Reno range. It offers a 6.67″ 120Hz AMOLED screen, a stabilised 50MP camera and 45W charging, running on a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chip. It is a reasonable everyday phone for social media, streaming and calls. However, it is now over two years old, and the newer Reno 13 F 5G sells for only KSh 800 more at Avechi, so most buyers should look at that model first.
