Well, well, well. What have we here with the Reno2? Time and again, Oppo excels in the camera department, and it seems to be their secret weapon against other manufacturers.

But that’s not all though.

Compared to its predecessor, the Reno2 sports a larger 6.5-inch Full HD+ AMOLED screen. In terms of protection, expect nothing but top-notch all-rounder with Gorilla Glass 6 on the front and Gorilla Glass 5 at the back. There’s also the fingerprint sensor on the display for easier unlocking.

Under the hood of the Reno2 is the Snapdragon 730 chipset paired with a very fast Kryo octa-core processor, great graphics and a whopping 8GB RAM. This ensures nothing will stand in its way and can slow it down.

Camera-wise, this is where the Reno2 shows its real strength. With a 48MP+13MP+8MP+2MP quad-camera combination, you will have a great time snapping away with so much fun. The sky is the limit with the 48MP Ultra-Clear Main Camera, 8MP Wide Angle Lens, 13MP Telephoto Lens, and 2MP Mono Lens at your disposal. Capture your imagination, wherever it takes you, however, and whenever you desire. Even then, the 16MP pop-up selfie camera is available to cater for all your selfie needs.

On to the storage side of things, 256GB of internal storage is more than enough to satisfy your cravings for all those high-res photos that the Reno2 is capable of taking. Even then, should you need more space; pop in a microSD card and it can have an additional 256GB.

Blessed with a 4000 mAh battery, it won’t have any problem to supply enough juice for a good full day of charge. When the time comes to plug it in, it only takes 30 minutes to power it up to 51%.



Conclusion:

Oppo Reno2 is a great upgrade for its predecessor, and it has all the qualities to be a great smartphone of choice. The quad-camera delivers greatly, large 6.5-inch AMOLED screen, great protection, great hardware, an expansion slot and 4000 mAh battery justifies your next purchase.
