It’s been a stacked year for Oppo, who still have theReno 10X ZoomandEE-stocked Reno 5GQualcomm Snapdragon 855-based handsets that sit above the new models.

Both of the new phones are compelling devices that are a far cry from entry-level devices. Both of the 6.5-inch AMOLED screened devices boast quad cameras with the main lens powered by Sony’s 48 megapixel Sony IMX586 sensor. That’s a serious upgrade on the older model’s dual-camera.
The main Reno 2 handset also boasts a 13 megapixel telephoto, 2 megapixel mono and 8 megapixel 16mm wide-angle lens, too. It’s well-specified in other ways, too, with 8GB of RAM and sizeable 256GB of storage.
Once again, the Reno is Qualcomm Snapdragon-based (7150), while the Z handset is based on Mediatek’s Helio P90 platform.
Both phones also look likethe original Renoseries launched during April in Zurich for the European market, complete with the front camera pop-up housing the same 16 megapixel selfie camera and LED flash.
On the Reno 2 this is a shark fin pop-up like the original Reno series, but on the Reno 2 Z there is a simpler pop-up that rises from the middle of the top of the phone. The previous Reno Z didn’t have a pop-up; instead it had a waterdrop notch.
We’ll bring you pricing on the new phones as soon as we get it.
