Imagine a stunning phone which can easily replace those high-end cameras to deliver crisp and sparkling shots, OPPO Reno2 is that smartphone. Complete with a quad-camera, spectacular design it outstrips earlier models and any other phones currently present in the market.
Camera
The camera has always been the USP of OPPO phones and Reno2 is no different. The phone has quad-camera system with a 48-megapixel primary lens with OIS and EIS, 8-megapixel wide-angle lens, 13-megapixel telephoto lens, and 2-megapixel monochrome lens. The front camera is a 16-megapixel shark-fin pop-up camera featuring an Atmosphere Light and an all-new AI Beauty Mode.
The zoom alone sets this phone apart, with 20x digital zoom and 5x hybrid zoom, combining multiple zooming lenses give a seamless transition. This means that the pictures will be crisp in a number of long-distance scenarios, like concerts, presentations, games, etc.
The ultra-wide-angel mode also means you can shoot wide landscapes, either during the day or at night. The ultra-night mode offers greater adaptability to light intensity, allowing you to photograph people and vehicles in the dark, and feature natural skin tones in low light. Along with this feature is the ultra-dark mode, which allows you to shoot in extreme low-light conditions. If the light is too low, the camera's AI will help brighten the picture. The AI also contains a 'beauty mode,' where the AI adjusts your skin tone based on surrounding light conditions and ensures your skin is smooth and glowing.
Ultra Steady Video
When it comes to recording videos, the phone provides incredible image stabilisation, thanks to an ultra-steady mode, so you get stable videos while walking or running, so take the phone with you on treks, and other adventures and sports activities.
The 20x digital zoom ensures you can take videos with great detail. The background noise reduction feature allows you to blur out other sounds and focus on human voices; with the Atmos mode, three microphones can be used to create a surround-sound effect, so you can capture everything, or highlight particular sounds. The smart video editor also compiles all your videos and photos into high-quality video clips stored in your phone's album, allowing you to browse through your memories.
Design and Body
In my opinion, so far, it is the best-designed phone in 2019. The design is stunning, with the cameras aligned in a row on the center, making the back symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing. The phone itself is glossy and has a multi-toned look. The rear quad camera, on the other hand, is protected by the back cover, made with 5th gen Gorilla Glass, providing sturdy, long-lasting protection. The glass is polished to make sure it is flush with the back cover, and so that there is no visual obstruction for the cameras.
The phone is equipped with a 6.5-inch AMOLED screen, with 2400x1800 resolution, and is made from 6th gen Gorilla Glass, guaranteeing a smooth viewing and a durable display.
The Reno2 Series is available in five colors: Sunset Pink and Ocean Blue (Reno2), Luminous Black (Reno2), Sky White (Reno2 F), and Lake Green (Reno2 F)
