Reno 11 F 5G vs 12 4G
It depends
Too close to call outright

Value Score: Reno 11 F 5G 62 · 12 4G 63 — methodology
The lifespan decider
When specs are close, support length decides it — this is what each phone costs per month of safe use.
Category by category
Both displays are effectively the same class.
The Reno 11 F 5G's MediaTek Dimensity 7050 (6nm) is simply the faster chip.
The Reno 11 F 5G has the stronger camera system (2 real rear lenses vs 1).
Battery capacities are close enough not to decide this.
The 12 4G is supported until Jul 2028 — 5 months longer than the Reno 11 F 5G.
Pound for pound, these two are equally good deals.
