The package comes with OPPO's VOOC charger, Type C charging cable, OPPO wired earbuds and matching colour faux-leather soft touch casing. As my set was Sunset Pink.
For those specifications is a welcome with the processor has upgraded from Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 to 730G. The difference between SDM 730 and 730G brought in better gaming experience and a 15% boost in graphics and that a plus to gamers out there.
A huge bump up of battery capacity to 4,000mAh from 3,765mAh that comes equipped with VOOC Flash Charge 3.0 to fill up the battery juice as much as 51% within half an hour or so! So do not worry if you're on the rush out. With moderate usage, my phone still left with 30%-odd with light gaming and heavy social media usage.
The quad-camera setup is the new black, so let's welcome two more additional cameras into Reno2!
The main sensor is a 48MP F1.7 ultra-clear camera which a Sony IMX586 sensor and can found in most flagship devices that being said its an excellent sensor. The other 3 camera sensors are 13MP F2.4 telephoto, 8MP F2.2 wide-angle and 2MP F2.4 bokeh lens.
The AI recognition in camera application can detect accurately with the object that being aimed at. Night mode was surprised as it able to take in as many details as it could but loses slight colourization but still far from Google Pixel's Night Sight.
The display panel on Reno2 is an AMOLED panel that stretches out 6.4-inch and covered up to 93.1% of the phone. The best part is no notches, PURE SCREEN! Reno2 comes with an optical in-screen fingerprint scanner and coming from ex-owner of original Reno and 10x Zoom. It felt tad faster and much responsive.
Finally, comes to software as it runs on ColorOS 6 and its improvement over the predecessor. It rather looks cleaner but I'm picky over the setting menus as it looks clunky. Perhaps a re-organisation might help.
When I said an all-rounder phone must have a 3.5mm headphone and Reno2 has it. Sound quality using wired earbuds that came along inside the box sounds more decent compared to other bundle OEM buds.
Verdict? It’s an all-rounder phone that captures the audiences' eyes in terms of design and ticks most of the boxes when one consumer's needs. However when comes to the Reno2’s price tag, it does sound slightly more expensive when comparing to similar specifications phones out in the market. It comes down to brand loyalty and what OPPO offers to the buyer or maybe discount in e-commence area.
