Oppo Reno2 Z review: Rising front camera is a big draw here

Last weekend, I decided to ditch my personal vehicle and instead take a ride on the Delhi Metro, the underlying idea being to become a responsible citizen and not contribute to the never-seen-before smog that our city was engulfed in. During the transit, I came across a youngster happily clicking away photos and videos of his friends and the surrounding smog-hidden scenarios at one of the Metro halts. A quick and snappy conversation between the two of us brought out his love and passion for his mobile phone (Oppo F11 Pro) with its motorised pop-up selfie camera. “It’s a cool feature (the elevating snapper), the camera comes out of the body when you require it and goes back to its original place once you are done using it. The best part, it gives me a full-screen experience,” he remarked.

At a time when every other handset maker is talking about ground-breaking innovation in their new phone’s cameras (front or rear), Oppo, the selfie-focused brand, seems to be marching ahead with newer features in its phones. The Chinese device maker is one that has perhaps capitalised most on the Indian consumer’s voracious appetite for selfies. The best part difference is its premium offerings won’t dig a hole in your pocket, as evidenced in Oppo Reno2 Z. Priced at Rs 29,990, this phone is powered by a MediaTek Helio P90 processor, comes with a host of new features, thereby becoming popular with consumers here.
