Here is a detailed look into the Reno 2F to help assess its suitability as a potential purchase.
Hardware
Here are the main features of the Oppo Reno 2F.
Design
The Oppo Reno 2F carries on the design of the original Reno 2. The 6.53-inch display almost entirely occupies the front of the device. The device has very thin bezels and looks quite sleek. The back of the device houses the camera module, a four-camera setup complete with an LED flash. Oppo’s decision to house the front camera in a motorized section contributes to a great-looking front.
The phone’s solid build feels quite premium and well put together. The glossy finish from the back of the device extends to the sides to create an uninterrupted feel. There is barely any bump on the back save for a strip that houses the four cameras.
Display
The Reno 2F features a fantastic 6.53-inch AMOLED display with 19.5:9 aspect ratio. Fifth-generation Gorilla glass protects the screen. As expected from an AMOLED panel, blacks are very deep, colours are vibrant, and contrast is top-notch. However, the screen is a bit too reflective for good outdoor use. Brightness is also quite low, which might be an issue when reading text or viewing images outdoors.
The viewing angles in the 2F are also poor as compared to models from Samsung sporting the same display tech. The under-display fingerprint sensor works great.
Processor, performance, and storage
A MediaTek Helio P70 processor powers the 2F. This is coupled with 8GB RAM and 128GB ROM. Users have an option to expand the inbuilt memory via the microSD slot by up to 256GB. The phone’s specs allow it to handle multiple apps at a go perfectly. There is barely any lag when switching between apps or browsing through multiple notifications.
Gaming fans will be contented with Reno 2F’s ability to render high definition games. The only downside to the Helio processor is that gamers cannot take advantage of HDR graphics when playing games such as PUBG Mobile.

Battery capacity
The device comes with a 4000 mAH non-removable battery with support for Oppo’s VOOC fast charging technology. The battery capacity is sufficient for an entire day under moderate to heavy usage. Besides the impressive capacity, the VOOC 3.0 tech will charge the Reno 2F from eight percent to ninety-three percent in seventy minutes. This is quite impressive and gives the device an edge in terms of battery reliability.
Speaker and call quality
The 2F features a single bottom-firing speaker. However, the unit is as loud and almost as good as devices sporting stereo speakers. Loudness levels can get quite high while maintaining audio clarity. The bass output is also good enough for use without the need for external audio devices. The earpiece also produces clear and loud audio during calls. You will not need to have the call volumes set to max even when in noisy environments.
Software
Here is a look into the phone’s software features.
Operating system and features
The Reno 2F comes preinstalled with Android Pie (9.0) overlaid with Oppo’s ColorOS 6.1. The custom skin adds gesture navigation similar to those available on Android 10. There is no official communication from the company regarding the possibility of an upgrade to the latest Android version for Reno 2F’s users.
Oppo Reno 2F camera, video, and image quality
The device has a quad-camera vertical setup on the back. The main one is a 48MP sensor for general photography. An 8MP sensor follows this for telephoto images, and next is a 2MP portrait camera and a 2MP monochrome camera. The device does not disappoint in terms of image quality. Pictures are bright, detailed, vivid, and have excellent dynamic range.
The device can record 4K and 1080P videos. Similar to the pictures, videos are quite detailed, and colour reproduction is impressive. The inbuilt Ultra Steady Video mode allows users to capture stabilized video clips in low light conditions.

Reviews
Here is a look at several comments about the Reno 2F from the online community.
Verdict
Is Oppo Reno 2F a good phone? 2F’s combination of features and expected price makes a compelling point. The relatively low pricing might be the best value-for-money feature considering companies such as Samsung and Apple charge much more for a similar set of specs. The few shortcomings, such as lack of a Snapdragon processor, are not deal-breakers by any means.

The Oppo Reno 2F is targeted at the premium mid-range market. The device has excellent features even though they do not quite match those of high-end devices. The spectacular AMOLED screen, battery life, and excellent camera should be more than enough to lure potential buyers into choosing the Reno 2F over its competitors. What do you think about this device?
