Oppo Reno2 Z Smartphone Review: Pseudo quad-cam phone with ups and downs

MediaTek Helio P90 smartphone. The Oppo Reno2 Z is a slightly lower-end version of the Reno2. However, our measurements indicate grave differences between the two Oppo phones - more than one might think from a quick glance at the specifications. In this review of the mid-range smartphone, we determine whether the Reno2 Z still receives our recommendation.
Oppo Reno2 Z smartphone review

With the Reno series, the Chinese manufacturer Oppo is trying to make a name for itself in Germany. At an MSRP of 380 Euros (~$430), the specifications of the lower-end model from the Reno2 series are decent, even though the smartphone does not exactly challenge the market at its current price.

The performance of the Oppo phone is dictated by the new MediaTek SoC Helio P90, complemented by 8 GB of RAM. As with its higher-end sibling, the Reno2 Z features four cameras on the back as well as a pop-up selfie camera, which is not as "slanted" as the one on the normal Reno2.

Case - Oppo Reno2 Z with Flawed Build Quality

Oppo Reno2 Z smartphone review
Oppo Reno2 Z smartphone review
Color options of the Oppo Reno2 Z

The front consists of scratch-resistant 5th generation Corning Gorilla Glass. There is no hole or notch in the 6.5-inch display of the Reno2 Z. A pop-up camera makes this possible and allows for a screen-to-body ratio of 85%, one of the best in the entire mid-range segment - although the Oppo phone does not quite achieve the 91% promised by the Chinese manufacturer. Our test device also exhibits flaws in terms of the control elements on the sides. The buttons feel very wobbly and the SIM card slot is not flush with the frame of the case, either.

Features - Oppo Smartphone with Widevine L1

The internal UFS storage of our test device has a capacity of 128 GB, approximately 108 GB of which is available to users ex-factory. Via the microSD slot, the storage can be expanded by up to 256 GB without compromising the dual-SIM functionality in the process. That being said, USB-OTG is only available when no SD card is used.

Since Widevine DRM L1 is supported, video content from streaming services can be viewed in HD resolution.

Software - Only Android 9 for the Reno2 Z

The Chinese manufacturer installs Android version 9 as the operating system, complemented by the highly customized user interface ColorOS 6.1. The release of an update to Android 10 for the Reno2 Z is planned in Q1 2020. At the time of our review, the security patches date back to January 2019, making them fairly recent.

As with Xiaomi's MiUI, the system operates fairly restrictively and although an alternative launcher can now be used, active background apps are constantly closed, which leads to delayed or missed push notifications.

Communication and GPS - Oppo Reno2 Z with Somewhat Weak Wi-Fi Module

Despite the manufacturer's claims, an NFC chip is available for wireless communication with peripheral devices. Additionally, the dual SIM phone supports Bluetooth version 5.0. For a mid-range smartphone, the high number of supported frequency bands is worth mentioning. The Oppo phone supports a total of 17 LTE bands. Thus, there are no limitations for local use.

Although the transfer speeds between the Oppo smartphone and our reference router Netgear Nighthawk AX12 are significantly slower than those of the Redmi K30 and the Reno2 when it comes to receiving data - they are satisfactory in light of the price.

In order to test the real-world locating capabilities of our test device, we simultaneously record our test track with the GPS bike computer Garmin Edge 500 and the Oppo smartphone. For a route with a total length of 9.5 kilometers, the difference between the Reno2 Z and the professional navigator only amounts to 80 meters. Relative to the price class, the discrepancies of the GPS module are small and the representation of the route indicates decent navigation capabilities.

Telephony and Call Quality - Oppo Phone Reproduces Voices Clearly

Oppo Reno2 Z smartphone review
Oppo Reno2 Z smartphone review

The call quality is good overall. There were no connection issues during our tests and voices are clearly reproduced, even during videotelephony.

However, the reception of the integrated radio module is subpar. Lastly, we could not find a dual-VoLTE feature or Wi-Fi calling in the settings.

Cameras - Reno2 Z with Pop-Up Cam and Pseudo Quad-Camera

16 MP pop-up camera shot
16 MP pop-up camera shot

Apart from the 48 MP wide-angle module, the quad-cam of the Reno2 Z also features two 2 MP telephoto optics for portrait shots. The telephoto lenses collect depth information in order to create a three-dimensional impression of the subject, although since there are no error messages or visual differences when blocking them with a finger, they do not appear to influence "normal" portrait shots. Thus, the two lower-resolution optics are only used for portrait shots with a monochromatic or retro-style filter.

The 48 MP camera module is based on a Sony IMX586 and has a light-sensitive maximum aperture of f/1.7. However, low-light scenes suffer from significant image noise and the pictures then exhibit artifacts and a lack of sharpness.

In daylight, the picture quality is good and matches other Sony IMX competitors. We were pleased with both the image details and the color representation. That said, pictures taken with the Reno2 Z have a slight red tint in some cases and tend to be overexposed. The color balance is too warm as well.

Pictures taken with the ultra wide-angle lens are significantly darker and less detailed. While post processing is able to reliably cancel out warping effects outside of the image center in the final pictures, the lack of sharpness becomes more pronounced towards the edges.

The quality of the 16 MP front camera and its f/2.0 aperture is high. However, selfies in daylight tend to be overexposed as well, although the image sharpness and details are still excellent. As with many other pop-up camera phones, the Reno2 Z comes with fall protection.

DC dimming feature
DC dimming feature

The OLED panel of the Reno2 Z measures 16.5 centimeters diagonally and offers Full HD+ resolution with an aspect ratio of 19.5:9, which translates to 2340x1080 pixels. When displaying an all white area, the Oppo phone reaches a low maximum brightness of 394 cd/m². Additionally, we tested the brightness level of an evenly distributed portion of dark and bright areas (APL50). In this test, we were able to measure a brightness of 514 cd/m².

As per usual with OLED displays, the Reno2 Z uses PWM with a low frequency of 232 Hz to 250 Hz. While enabling DC dimming evens out the frequency to some degree, the flickering does not fully disappear.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM detected 250 Hz ≤ 99 % brightness setting

The display backlight flickers at 250 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 99 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting.

The frequency of 250 Hz is relatively low, so sensitive users will likely notice flickering and experience eyestrain at the stated brightness setting and below.

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18110 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

The Reno2 Z lacks the color profiles of its larger sibling Reno2. As our analysis with the spectrophotometer and the CalMAN software confirms, the average DeltaE deviations of 4.9 (colors) and 6.5 (grayscale) from the sRGB color space are relatively high. Due to the underlying technology, the black value and thus the contrast ratio of the Reno2 Z's OLED display are excellent.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
3.6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 2 ms rise
↘ 1.6 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 10 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21.6 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey

The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 9 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (33.9 ms).

The outdoor usability of the Reno2 Z is limited. In direct sunlight, the screen's content is barely discernible, since the Oppo phone lacks the required luminance. By contrast, the viewing angles are good, even though a slight yellow veil can be observed when viewing the display from a steep angle.

Performance - Oppo Phone with MediaTek Helio P90

The MediaTek Helio P90 is an ARM SoC based on the 12-nanometer FinFET process that features two CPU clusters with a total of eight CPU cores. The two Cortex A75 performance cores can achieve a maximum clock speed of 2.2 GHz, whereas the six smaller Cortex A55 cores are limited to a maximum clock frequency of only 2 GHz.

According to our benchmarks, the CPU performance of the Reno2 Z is slightly slower than that of the Snapdragon 730 inside the Xiaomi Mi 9T. Similarly, the Oppo phone falls behind the Xiaomi competition in PCMark for Android's system tests.

The integrated PowerVR GM 9446 supports APIs such as OpenGL ES 3.2, Vulkan 1.1 and OpenCL 1.2. The GPU performance of the Helio P90 is significantly lower compared to the Snapdragon 730's Adreno 618 and only marginally faster than the Adreno 512 inside the Nokia 7.2.

In conjunction with 8 GB of RAM, the Helio P90 subjectively offers a good system performance during daily use. Animations are smooth and stutters are few and far between. Similarly, the relatively fast UFS 2.0 storage facilitates quick loading even for more-demanding apps.

On the other hand, the microSD card slot of the Reno2 Z disappoints. In combination with our reference card Toshiba Exceria Pro M501, the performance was subpar.

Gaming - Reno2 Z with PowerVR GM 9446

While the installed PowerVR GM 9446 is not particularly powerful, it still manages to run even demanding games from Google's Play Store. For the most part, demanding Android titles can be played smoothly at the lowest settings with the GPU installed in the Reno2 Z, although we recorded periodic frame-rate drops with the GameBench app.

Both the touchscreen and the gyroscope respond quickly and reliably to our inputs.

Emissions - No Throttling for the Reno2 Z

Temperature

The surface temperature of the Oppo smartphone barely increases even during continuous load. Furthermore, we analyze the heat development of the Helio P90 during continuous load with GFXBench's battery test. Over the course of the demanding Manhattan test (OpenGL ES 3.1), there was no considerable throttling.

Speaker

Speaker test: Pink noise
Speaker test: Pink noise

Even though the speaker on the bottom edge of the Reno2 Z achieves a sufficient maximum volume level of almost 88 dB(A), the quality is disappointing. However, the mono speaker is absolutely suitable for short video playback.

Music fans have access to sound output via a 3.5 mm audio jack for a good audio experience and a sufficient maximum volume level.

Verdict - Reno2 Z with Mixed Results

In review: Oppo Reno2 Z. Test device courtesy of:
In review: Oppo Reno2 Z. Test device courtesy of:

The Reno2 Z is not a bad smartphone, however, the execution of the idea behind the Oppo phone lacks conviction. While the design is good, there is room for improvement when it comes to a few aspects of the build quality. The OLED display offers a rich contrast ratio, although it is fairly dim and the color representation could have been more accurate.

Even though the Reno2 Z is a good mid-range smartphone, there is some fine-tuning left to do.

The call quality is pleasant, although the Reno2 Z's signal strength evidently struggles to match competitors. The transfer rates of the UFS storage are good, while the SD card slot is rather disappointing. The MediaTek processor is more than sufficient for daily use, but the performance is lacking compared to competing solutions, however - particularly in terms of the GPU.
