So, for the most part, I didn't need to adjust things. Night, "Pano," Expert, timelapse, slow motion, AR stickers, and even Google Lens can be found under a three-dash menu right next to that. It wasn't until I began exploring the icons at the top that things got complicated.
After around a week of using the camera, I still couldn't quite remember what all of those were without clicking on them. That's because different icons are used but that isn't the only issue. Visible elements change quite dramatically depending on which camera mode is selected too. Most companies keep quite a lot of consistency there. For example, the lens-selection icon is simply a set of close circles with an empty space between and a larger empty dot at the center.
Or it's a closed-dot circle with another ring around it and a dashed ring between those. Or it's a square with a set of circles in it. The settings icon is a bolt-head or nut instead of a gear. Unlike many competitors, there's no initial explanation of the interface or tools in the current software either.
OPPO's differences make things more complicated and it ended up feeling just slightly overwhelming to use. Now, this smartphone's display panel in terms of clarity, responsiveness, pixel-density, or brightness, is brilliant. In fact, issues come down to precisely none of the technical aspects of the screen. Pixelation occurred only in photos I took of the device. Both animations and media are crystal clear. Brightness was good enough to turn down to only a few steps above the lowest level indoors. Half is enough for most cases outside. It's fair to say that, for the most part, the 6.
The It even has "DC Dimming" that allows a smoother transition between lows and brights. That's high praise for an aspect that landed on the negative side of the reviews. There are a couple of good reasons for that, both centered on design decisions. The first caveat is in the rounded corners of the screen — where the body overlaps with it. In more than one case, the "x" to close an ad was all-but completely covered up by the corner.
That made it impossible to close the ads. The aspect ratio causes issues too. Problems appear where things need to be resized to fit.
Not every app or piece of media needs that but there's quite a lot cut off when they do. Apps that don't resize automatically, for instance, showed a box below the UI.
That leaves as much as a fifth of the display unused. The cut-off is likely about the same ratio, in total, when apps are resized manually. Those don't apply in system apps but will be beyond annoying for some users. That's also one thing OPPO probably can't fix easily with software updates. OPPO built a device here that's not only worthy of its above-mentioned award. It also built a device that not everybody will be able to use comfortably. That is unless the user in question is familiar with OPPO or realme smartphones from the past.
OPPO Reno 2 is gorgeous. It's a masterwork of glass, metal, and small design decisions. But flaws show through in terms of the aspect ratio used and the body on the screen-facing side. OPPO included a world-class camera too. The software underneath that is quick. It's even more rapid with night mode shots than competitors. But the camera falls well short in that it is slowed by convoluted software.
It's just not easy to learn to use all of its features properly. Choosing the right option for the right shot takes too long, in the heat of the moment, as a result. In every instance, the company could easily have avoided those with a less conservative, more dramatic update to the software. Realistically, those won't prevent most users from picking one up. In reality, they really shouldn't prevent it. Each is relatively minor. But they do steal from what otherwise might have been a perfect experience.
So they're still worth being aware of. Newsletter Signup. Sign up!
Skip to content MENU. There are four main ones: Smart, Movie, Gaming, Music.
At first, I left the Smart mode checked, just to get a feel for how it worked. In the first song I listened to, instruments that were usually far in the background of the melody were brought to the front. Unfortunately, in the next song I listened to, the equalizer just pumped the bass to a ridiculous level. So, I went to the sound settings and selected the Music mode. Manually selecting Music mode, though, enables a bunch of new options. Watching videos is a bit of a different story.
I found the audio in the Smart and Movie modes to be way too heavy on the bass.
The equalizer settings I used for Music mode again worked well to make videos sound the way I want. I certainly was skeptical at first.

However, MediaTek has proven to be a competent processor option for cheaper devices. The outstanding battery life, relatively extensive set of features headphone jack! The only real negative is the terrible software. However, the combination of the things it does right overpowers the negatives. But aside from that, the Reno Z really holds its own in the mid-range segment.
