Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “The Reno 2 Smartphone Has Some Fancy Tricks”.
So we’ve got the Oppo Renault. Now, of course, I covered the previous version on the channel, the one this is the one with the fancy flip up front camera. It’S motorized, it’s a bit different, and here we are with the second version already, as you know, crazy pace to the smartphone marketplace: paperwork. Plentiful there’s the device 48 megapixel, camera 5x hybrid zoom, ultra steady, video 6.5 inch, dynamic, AMOLED screen four thousand milliamp hour, Buch flash charge 3, and also this has a price point that might be attractive to you, especially if you’re looking for a device with a fancy. Motorized front-facing camera.
Will he do? Can you tell us what the retail price of this device is 515 us? Where does that put it? It puts it in the same sort of territory you’re in like 1 sort of, although that one’s a little bit more but you’re somewhere around there you’re in what most people would consider the mid range. But in some markets that puts this into the premium zone. There’S a blue thing going on, which is pretty wild. Look at that. You see in this well right now, look at that cool, the quality of it. It’S it’s there, the camera units embedded below the glass, so they do not protrude at all. You can lay this flat and then there’s this little section here, which I remember from the last version, which keeps this portion ever-so-slightly up off the table surface, to protect from scratching and so forth. You can see the various camera modules in that location, including the indication year of hybrid zoom. This entire portion kind of pops up a little bit, but it does so in, like a pie, shape view big pie guy. There will oh yeah pie in the sky. Key lime play key lime.
I don’t believe yeah. I think yeah you’re more of an apple pie. Will you or won’t you add a scoop of ice cream yeah.
You were definitely vanilla. They’Ve got a cool little color indicator on the camera button. I would have preferred to see some texture haven’t talked about that in a while, but kind of nice type C. Connector, of course, with the fast charge included, there’s a speaker there and a traditional analog, headphone jack. Look at that a case in the package and it’s a little nicer than your typical case, not real leather. I don’t think I’m betting, that that is not genuine leather.
Pu leather, flip, ya, PU. You know what PU means. I don’t want to know.
It’S like when you’re a kid and you’re like PU. It actually means polyurethane. I think holy mega charger. That’S boop baby! Look at that! Guy right. There they’ve included a headset, which I don’t know it doesn’t look like any other headset that I’ve ever seen before very unique, see that well one of the kind yeah I just wobble around a little bit, but this is probably where you’d be typing. If you ever tried to use it on a surface, you should be okay, whew, not a bad looking display. I don’t know we got some brightness there. Well, oh yeah! How about the aggressive screen to body ratio as well? It’S a 6.5 inch screen 6.5 inch display.
You have a pretty hefty skin on here. This is the color OS from Oppo. You know what my preference is. If I can get something close to stock Android, I’m going to select that because it’s comfortable for me I know, will you probably agree on that? Runt, vanilla, Android, big pixel guy, you know, okay, let’s boot, into the camera, that’s a big part of this device.
Specifically it’s what all the hype is about. So reason people pay attention to this. If I click the front-facing camera button, that’s the way. It’S a very! It’S kind of an elegant way that it comes up. Look at this.
I flip it back boom it slides down. I don’t know to me it’s just a bit more interesting than popping straight out. Oh wow, very natural. You know what Jack that’s what I look for! A successful selfie, I’m very happy with this selfie how many megapixels on a selfie camera Willie.
Do you know little depth you’re getting fibers on the shirt it’s 16 megapixel, 16 megapixels on the selfie. It’S no joke! Of course, there’s also a portrait mode built in that’s gon na try to like blur the background. This is how they want you to use it, which is crazy, so beauty mode by default, plus blurred background. Let’S see the difference, move me out of touch.
I don’t know what am i lighter in general yeah, less contrast try to sort of flatten things out, but you still got detail like the fibers on the shirt. Are there I’m gon na switch around to the back camera? Now this is the 1x. It’S the default! Camera lens in three two one BAM: we go into the 2x and bam we go into the 5x and bam. We go out to the wide that’s quite wide for someone who’s.
Looking for versatility holy moly, that’s options! Okay! Well, here you go it’s your moment now, the a I picked up that he’s indoor, I don’t know what type of enhancement is going to provide. Oh hybrid zoom, oh you’re, really having a hole, dispose. Well, I apologize sweating here. Would you look at this? This is how wide it goes and he’s closed for the record like what is he he’s like? What are you 10 feet away from me? Yeah I mean you got a doom in to really even get to Willie.
Do on the fully wide and Kurt I mean he’s all the way over there, so the white is picking up a lot. This is the full zoom. You can see it’s a bit hazy. Part of that is competing with this lighting over here I’m super bright. He is not nearly as bright here is the 2x zoom and that’s the 1x standard camera and of course, when the lighting is hitting the subject, it’s a far better performer here in our environment, we have the wide-angle figurine. We have the crazy zoom figurine, which is like wow, that’s very usable at that zoom. We have the 2x zoom. Look at the contrast, Kirk you’re happy with that.
This thing, whoa, that might be the best 2x photo I’ve ever taken in this environment. That’S an incredible 2x photo well. Are you impressed? Yeah looks good. It’S got some of the other functions you you would expect on a device like this at this price point.
It’S got the fingerprint scanner in there in the display. It’S got the OLED display as well. The process of the chip – I don’t know you – might want to higher-end snapdragon, but chances are for a lot of people. 700 series. That’S in here is gon na be okay. I do want to check of the audio performance and I like to test it with dialogue, because that’s typically how I would use a smartphone speaker, okay, so forth new developments. But there has been a kind of a pause button, a little bit of leniency for pre-existing products. It might be just strictly mono or some you see here. It’S a one speaker situation, that’s okay with me! Yeah! You can cover it. So it’s not perfect.
I rather have one decent speaker, then have a little bit of sound coming out of the earpiece region and the whole thing sounds like a tin. Can I’m saying it’s a pretty good sounding phone? No, I could hear from here. The volume is really really loud and you can see what they display: no distractions, no, not no hole punch, no, nothing! Who is this phone for who’s? It gon na compete with well. First up, you got a deal with this color OS. Now this is me, and I pick up this phone – you know what I’m gon na do. Well, I’m gon na get the Nova Launcher. I’M gon na hit it with a healthy dose of the Nova launch. I think this is for somebody who is going to prioritize the camera set up someone who’s gon na prioritize gon na say I want all those focal ranges represented it’s a crazy layout.
This is a very versatile camera setup and then also there’s a bit of a show-off factor with the weighted camera pops up. So let’s be honest about that, that is a cooler smartphone, because you got the key lime pie shoots up out the top. That’S what that phone is about it’s around 500 bucks, like you said, and I think it’s kind of interesting.
I agree. It’S a nice package. .
