Oppo Reno2's quad camera is the focus of the first promo videos

Peter, 28 August 2019

The Oppo Reno2 has twice as many cameras on its back than its predecessor. That’s a lot of cameras to cover, but the first promo videos will give you the crash course.

Let’s start with a short 30 second clip that covers all the major features. They are hybrid zoom, video stabilization and a new dark mode.

The Reno2 does not have a periscope module, instead it relies on a zoom lens and software processing to deliver 5x hybrid zoom and 20x digital zoom (note that Oppo hasn’t revealed the true focal length of the lens yet).

The main 48MP sensor is backed by optical image stabilization and features Ultra Steady Video mode on top of that.

The Oppo Reno2 leverages the NPU inside its Snapdragon 730G chipset to do image processing for the Ultra Dark Mode.

Note that Ultra Dark Mode is a new development. It’s available on the Oppo Reno2 and the Reno2 Z. The Oppo Reno2 F gets the old Ultra Night Mode instead. The Ultra Steady Video is available on the Z phone as well, though without the benefit of hardware OIS.

Choosing between this and the Reno 10x Zoom is tough as I like the periscope of the 10x Zoom and the flagship processor but the Reno2 has a headphone jack and looks to be slightly smaller for better one-handed use.

Do you own a phone with bw camera sensor? If yes than cover the monochrome sensor and take a picture and you will see the difference. If you dont than pleace dont argue without facts, Btw i agree with your opinion about the depth sensor:)

A Black and White sensor isn't useless. It aids the colored sensor with adding some deeper blacks and brighter spots on the finished photo. It helps out with my Nokia 8. It also provides a no-filter noir flair photos for your social media.
