There are reasons why the smartphone market in the middle-class segment tends to be tighter and "attractive" compared to the competition in the premium segment. One of the most obvious is the lack of loyalty of smartphone users in this segment. If someone sees good features on smartphone A, he will buy it. Seeing the advanced features on smartphone B, he will change it. Etc.
These feelings of dissatisfaction are used by smartphone makers. They believe there is always room to acquire new users in this segment. How to? By competing to bring quality features. If necessary, combine all the features that users are looking for and want in one device, then sell them at a more affordable price.
Well, the question now, what features are actually sought by smartphone users?
A study, as reported by global web index shows, younger smartphone users tend to want the best camera on their device, other users of all ages cite battery life and storage space as features that are always wanted, while those who are older expressly designate the processor, durability and screen size as things to look for.
The second question is also there. At a more affordable price? Oppo Reno2, for example, not only has a reliable camera, but the screen is also roomy, the processor is fast, the battery is no less reliable. In short, at the price of $595, this smartphone offers all the important features that must be possessed by today's smartphones from the camera to the screen.
A capable camera for reliable results
Having one camera is the past, and even so with two or three cameras. In Oppo Reno2, users are even faced with the offer of five cameras at once.
The five-camera configurations are, four rear cameras consisting of a 48MP main lens with a Sony IMX586 sensor and f / 2.2 aperture; 13MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom and 5x hybrid-zoom support; 8MP Ultrawide Macro lens and 2MP Monochrome lens, plus a 16MP front camera with Shark Fin Rising Camera style. Are you still lacking, young people?
Large battery for longer durability
The 4000 mAh battery that Oppo buried in the Reno2 body is indeed not the greatest - when it comes to capacity. But believe me, this sector can be quite proud of, especially for those of you who are too tired to charge smartphones repeatedly. We are personally quite impressed with its ability to survive in just one charge. About 12 hours 27 minutes, according to testing.
Plus, charging takes place very quickly thanks to the VOOC Flash Charge 3.0 feature. Based on the Battery Wear Test feature in the AnTuTu Benchmark app version 8, the Oppo Reno2 battery can be charged from 5% to 90% in one hour, and 5% to 100% in 83 minutes. Still, want to find something else?
RAM and large memory to support multitasking
One of the functions of RAM is to help and support the use of multitasking in a gadget or computer. The use of multitasking referred to in this RAM function is to be able to work on or open more than one application at a time.
The more RAM available, the smoother a smartphone can be for processing this multitasking. Even if more and more things are done by smartphones, then the possibility of freeze or hangs thinner, because of the large RAM.
In the case of Reno2, 8GB RAM, and 256GB UFS 2.1 internal memory is certainly more than enough to help us carry out various activities, right? Whether it's just browsing and chatting, watching videos, playing games, or producing content.
A powerful processor in its class for better performance
Oppo Reno2 does not come with the most powerful processor, but this is also not the slow one that can make us die quickly from high blood pressure. In performance, Snapdragon 730G (8nm) is quite reliable.
This is then combined with ColorOS 6.1 based on Android 9.0, which is not only convenient to operate but is safe and smooth also. Many improvements, we can also get this blessing: Hyperboost, Game Assistant, Game Boost, and more.
Not only that, in Oppo Reno2, Oppo also, for the first time, implemented the NPU system to accelerate the AI shooting algorithm in night mode. NPU Accelerator maximizes Neural Network Processing operations.
Large screen for better viewing
Physically, Oppo Reno2 does look prominent with a 6.5-inch screen that it carries. For those who don't know, this screen span turns out to be between Oppo Reno and Reno 10x Zoom, both of which have a screen size of 6.4 inches and 6.6 inches, respectively.
In quality, what is offered by Reno2 is not inferior. AMOLED type screen with a resolution of 1080 x 2400 that is made makes it more than capable of being a fun friend when streaming video. Of course, the screen to body ratio of 93.1% has contributed. The bezel is very thin.
For parents who might be inclined to worry about the fate of smartphones - especially if they fall. Don't worry, because both the front and back of Reno2 have been coated with Corning Gorilla Glass. The 6th generation is on the front, while the rear body is the 5th generation.
