Oppo Reno 2 Quick Review in India | catchme11

Oppo recently launched its Reno 2 smartphone. The company has priced it at Rs 36,990. We have used this phone for some time and now we are sending its review to you. This phone can be divided into two parts directly, first is its design and second is its camera. We have reviewed its 8GB / 256GB variants. This phone has been launched in two color options - Luminous Black and Ocean Blue. We were given the Ocean Blue color variant for review.

Design and display:

Its look and design are quite premium. We have seen many phones this year from Samsung's flagship to OnePlus's flagship. But at this price, it can be called the best-looking smartphone. Here the quad-camera setup is given in the vertical shape in the rear. The special thing is that there is no camera bump at all. Similarly, the LED flash is also placed inside the glass body. However, while keeping the phone in the table, it is avoiding scratch, so a little dot bump has been given below. Oppo's logo and designed for Reno have been written with dual-tone 3D gradient design in the back. There is a strip in the middle here. Which glows a lot. The size of the phone is somewhat big and weighs a little. Although there is no roughage anywhere, it is easy to carry it. Also, this phone is not too wide. This phone has a power button on the right and volume rockers on the left. The bottom has a Type-C port, speaker grille, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The Fin Shark pop-up camera module has been given at the top.

Talking about the display, here is a 6.55-inch full-HD + (1,080 x 2,400 pixels) dynamic AMOLED display. Also, the protection of Gorilla Glass 6 has also been given here. There is also a fingerprint sensor in the display itself. Due to the pop-up camera module, there is no notch in the display here. Colors are quite punchy in the display and the brightness is quite good. You will not face any problem in using it even in the sun.

Performance and Battery:

This smartphone has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G processor. In addition, we have used 8GB RAM and 56GB storage variants. Talking in terms of processor, the Snapdragon 855 processor is available in Redmi K20 Pro, which costs around 28 thousand rupees. In such a situation, this processor could also be given in this Reno 2 of 37 thousand rupees. Although this phone is ahead in many cases. Therefore 855 processors can be ignored. If you use the thing, then it is very smooth in regular use. In this, tasks like multi-tasking and app switching can be done easily.

Also, the Snapdragon 730G processor has been used in it, which is much better for gaming than the 730. In such a situation, you will not have any complaints about gaming. Talking about the software, Android 9 Pie-based ColorOS 6.1 has been given in it. This software is not clean and is similar to OPPO's regular software. Some preloaded apps were given on this phone. The good thing is that they can be deleted. Also, some spammy notifications come. Dolby Atmos is given here for the sound.

Talking about the battery, a 4,000mAh battery has been provided here, as well as support for VOOC 3.0 fast charging technology. Once fully charged, it can be operated comfortably throughout the day. If you watch the video continuously, then it can be played for about 15 hours. Being a 20W fast charger, it can be charged about 48 percent in just 30 minutes. In this hour and a half, it can be fully charged.

Camera:

We can call Reno 2 completely a camera-centric phone and in this case, it is far ahead. The quad-camera setup has been given in the rear of this smartphone. In this setup, 48 megapixels primary sensor, 13MP telephoto camera, 8MP ultra-wide angle camera and 2MP depth sensor have been given. In this quad-camera, you will get 20x digital zoom support. Oppo has given both OIS and EIS in it. Overall speaking, this smartphone brings very good pictures in both daylight and low-light. However, for a better picture in low light, the help of night mode can be taken.

Even more special thing is that ultra-wide angle also works in night mode and special tripod mode has also been given. Slow shutter photos can also be clicked with this. The wide-angle camera also works fine. But low-light will get a bit more noise. Talk about telephoto cameras, this smartphone is better only up to 5X zoom. The rest is 20X digital zoom, so don't expect lossless photos. The zoom camera can also be used during video. Apart from this, the depth sensor also works for portrait videos in addition to portrait photos. Also, macro cameras can also be used with wide angle cameras.

Talking for video, this phone is also much better here. Here the rear camera supports 4K @ 30fps, 1080P @ 60fps / 30fps, and 720P @ 60fps / 30fps. In addition, Ultra Steady Video Recording has also been provided. This gives a Gimbal-like effect. However, it will get 1080p 60fps support. The good thing is that focusing is also amazing. All three can be used in video cameras such as portrait camera, ultra-wide-angle camera, and zoom camera. Also, the sound effects can also be changed at the time of recording here. Finally, talk about the selfie camera, here is a 16MP camera. This makes the photos in daylight better. Also, portrait mode can also be used during video. Flash can be taken here for low-light selfies.
