The Reno 2 is an eye-catching, luxurious-feeling handset that ticks all the boxes you’re likely to need in a smartphone. It packs camera capabilities for almost any situation, including a standout pop up selfie cam, and it doesn’t compromise on power and performance either, despite it’s not-quite- flagship innards. With more than enough stamina to last at least an entire day with impressive fast charging to boot, there’s little here not to like, especially given its sub-flagship £449 price tag. It may not have the absolute best camera around, 5G, or the very latest processor, but if you’re after a rock solid performer with some quirky features that separate it from the plethora of other options available, this could very well be the phone for you.
