Having effortlessly transitioned into acting, Fouzia's debut film swiftly captured global acclaim, earning accolades at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival
Our standard one-hour YouTube-at-full-brightness battery test, meanwhile, showed that the Reno2 lost 11 per cent. That's fair, but I did notice once you mix-use it the whole day - a combo of streaming music and video, e-mail and everything else in between - it tends to struggle to get to the night-time finish line. In other words, you'd better have the charger ready.
The Oppo Reno2 is another worthy challenger in the mid-range segment, and it doesn't cross the Dh2,000 line (fine, only by a dirham). Smartphone manufacturers continuously pump in flagship-level features to the tier below, which, in turn, tends to make users have a good second look at these types of devices. That said, the price tag is the deal-maker here - keep in mind that there are phones out there with lesser specs on certain aspects at the same or even higher cost - if you care about more cameras, more storage and, well, a shark fin.

Author's Rating: We weren't able to get a hold of the Reno, so it won't be fair to compare the Reno2 based on what we haven't experienced. But this experience is good enough. 3.5/5
