Oppo Reno2 Smartphone in Review: Lackluster Camera Performance


With pop-up selfie cam. | The Oppo Reno2 promises excellent picture-taking capabilities, long battery life and a lot of performance. Visually, the smartphone is definitely impressive. Our review will show which other qualities the phone can bring to the table.

The Oppo Reno 2’s primary camera features a 48MP 1/2.0” sensor with 0.8µm pixels, phase detection autofocus, as well as OIS and a 26mm focal length. Just like the Google Pixel 4, the main camera’s aperture is f/1.7, but unlike the Google flagship, there’s a 13mm ultra-wide camera alongside it with an 8MP sensor (1/3.2” size, 1.4µm pixels) too. 
Additionally, the Reno 2 features a 13MP telephoto camera with a roughly 1.5x zoom and an f/2.4 aperture, but no OIS. Finally, there’s a black and white sensor that’s just 2MP in resolution, however, it helps refine filters applied in Portrait mode rather than shoot photos independently. 
Modes: Despite the Oppo Reno 2’s 48MP resolution sensor, it captures 12MP images, combining four pixels on the sensor into one dot in the final photo. You can override this and shoot at full 48MP mode, but this is at the expense of HDR-capture.
Shooting modes on the Reno 2 are plentiful - Video, Photo, and Portrait occupy the bottom bar for quick access, with additional modes - Night, Pano, Expert, Time-lapse and Slo-Mo - available through an expanded menu. 
While the expert mode supports control over ISO up to 6400 and a shutter speed of up to 16 seconds, there’s no support for RAW shooting here.
