You get double the storage too, GB instead of GB. The Oppo Reno 2 Z brings mid-range phones back to true mid-range prices. That it also includes advanced extras like a very large screen, motorised camera and in-screen fingerprint scanner is impressive. There are a few faults to find. Its bold screen could do with an option to curb the colour and the quad rear cameras are more effective on a spec sheet than in real life. By Sophie Charara.

This cell phone tracking tool comes with a lot of special functions like setting a time limitation to restrict children from playing mobile phone, sending a notification once the person you monitored has left this area, restricting some words to search, taking screenshot on target phone. This means you can now travel anywhere without having to carry around even your driving license.
That's in spite of the fact that it doesn't perform like it is. Because the OPPO Reno 2 is actually not a bad camera, the gallery of sample photos can be found in the good review linked at the top here.
Unfortunately, this section exists because, like most negative attributes of this phone, there are problems with the layout of the software. The issue I found wasn't finding individual features. Like most modern smartphones, AI is managing things here.
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. You look at the software on a big 6. But the screen is not good in strong sunlight unless the brightness is turned up to maximum, and the auto-brightness is a little dimwitted, taking too long to adjust.
I do love the no-notch look though, which makes playing games and watching movies much more immersive. A button on the viewfinder cycles through a 2x, 6x, and a 10x zoom level. There is no obvious difference in quality. There is a separate button to activate the wide-angle camera, or you can use the button to scroll through all zoom levels. Switching between them is fast, and is accompanied by a pleasing transition as you move between zoom levels. At 6x the quality is good. In the right light, photos look superb and full of color, but on 10x especially when lighting is challenging, the color reproduction is muted.
The 2x level is great, with lovely contrast and just the right amount of saturation to make pictures pop. Each photo, regardless of the lens or zoom level you use, has a welcome consistency.
This makes it easier to take photos you like, without contemplating which lens will take the best shot. The total focal length is 16mm to mm, the same as the Huawei P30 Pro. The selfie camera has megapixels. Night mode is good too, pulling in plenty of light. But like the P30 Pro, the camera is strong in low light without Night mode. The Reno 10x Zoom provides it, with a capable portrait mode, and some visually pleasing filters too.
Here are the benchmark results:. Despite the software being annoying, it has not presented any performance problems, and is speedy, smooth, and mostly stable outside of the odd connection problems. All apps I tried ran without incident, and the hardware makes easy work of even the most graphically-intensive games.
A big 4,mAh battery is inside, and with moderate use it should last a couple of working days.
