After an exhausting 2018, the Reno2 Z sends off 2019 in a way that embodies the best parts of Oppo’s approach to tech. For the $599 launch price, you get bucket-loads of value in the form of a snappy processor, a versatile (if unreliable) quad-lens camera and a solid two-days of battery life.

It’s easy to spot the bargain that Oppo have smuggled into the mid-tier with the Reno2 Z

Flagship features; Slick software;

Camera can be inconsistent; Slow Face Unlock;

At $599 RRP, OPPO Reno2 Z offers plenty for the money – including amazing design and feel of the phone, accessories, and good camera shots to share in your social media feeds. Sure, there is no wireless charging (but it has USB Type-C!) and the camera struggles in HDR and low lit conditions.

The Oppo Reno 2 Z is a great budget-focused smartphone, but with a hit-and-miss camera setup, it's not perfect

Best phone ever bought by me, earlier one plus user, happy customer, camera, heaphone, speaker, resolution and finger print is awesome

Excellent all rounder phone, went from IPhone to the oppo and will never look back

Oppo hit the UK smartphone market this year with some compelling handsets. The attractively priced Oppo RX17 Pro with its long battery life and very fast charging really impressed, as did the flagship Find X . We also found the Reno 10X Zoom to be a good alternative to leading flagship handsets.

Superb value for money; High-quality industrial design; Great OLED screen; Good battery life; Dual SIM and MicroSD card support

Two of the four rear cameras are arguably superfluous; No IP rating for dust/water resistance

With the Reno2 Z Oppo is offering a mid-range smartphone with a wide range of impressive photo and video features.

OPPO Reno Z is an affordable smartphone that packs a high-end wallop!

All things considered, the Oppo Reno 2Z is a nice smartphone. The phone has a beautiful design and treads well on the camera-performance, speed, and gameplay. The Reno 2Z is exceptionally good at video recording, battery backup, charging speed, and sound quality.

The Reno 2 Z launches at an astonishingly good price. Yes it's a little more than in six-month-old predecessor, but as it ditches the notch it's an even better-looking handset. And, really, it's a steal. As with the original Reno Z, the second-gen model is punching well above its weight.
