OPPO Reno 2: what makes it a great camera phone

The camera quality of today’s smartphone can easily be pitted against the mainstream DSLR. The level of sophistication that can be obtained despite its handy outlook is just impressive. Artificial intelligence has also played a significant role in improving the image quality. Entering this arena is the OPPO Reno 2, which bring powerful camera capabilities. By the end of this article, we’re sure you’ll also agree that it’s a great phone for capturing stills or videos. 

Camera specifications

The back of the device is covered with Gorilla Glass 5 with a camera lens setup that sits flush with the body of the Reno 2. The quad-camera setup comprises a 48MP Sony IMX586 sensor (1/2.0’’) with f/1.7 aperture, a 13MP telephoto lens (1/3.4”) with f/2.4 aperture, an 8MP (116°) wide-angle lens (1/3.2”) & a 2MP mono lens (1/5”).

The device is also loaded with camera modes such as Ultra Dark mode, AI HDR, AI Beauty mode, Ultra Macro mode and Portrait mode.  

Versatile imaging capabilities

The Reno 2 lens setup with its 16-83mm focal length allows for a hybrid zoom capacity of 5x and digital zoom up to 20x – making it one of the very few phones with such functionality. The transition of the optical zoom is kept at 2x with the ability to render a seamless zoom through its fusion technology. Besides this ultra-high-quality imaging feature is an Ultra-wide-angle mode that lets you landscapes with wider field-of-view at night or day.

Ultra-Night Mode

The Ultra-Night mode on the Reno 2 incorporates AI Noise reduction and advanced NPU acceleration which in turn promises a stunning level of clarity in low light conditions.

 AI Beauty Mode

This mode offers excellent scene tone recognition, based on the colour inputs from the ambient lights to ensure a skin tone that matches with the image being rendered. This algorithm can effectively incorporate up to four individuals within a single shot. 

HDR Portrait

The HDR mode works to limit excessive brightness over illuminated backgrounds and brightens up low-light shots to balance the overall image through its adaptive dynamic range. 

Portrait mode

This mode adds a hint of artistry to the shots being taken. It achieves this through a Smart Bokeh method that performs depth detection on an object within seconds.

Ultra-Macro shot

Oppo has also included a new Ultra Macro mode which lets users click the object at an extremely close distance. This is achieved through the new wide-angle lens which creates a micro spur effect with its smart scenario recognition technology that suggests the appropriate lens for the situation. 

Ultra-Steady Mode

The Reno 2 also gets ultra-steady mode through its optical and electronic image stabilization. All this tech comes packed with software features such as Dynamic Zoom, Reduced Wind noise and Sound Focus technology which amplifies sound upon zooming in on a sound-emitting source. 

Bokeh Effect Video

Selfies on the OPPO Reno 2 are taken care of by a 16-megapixel shark-fin style elevating front camera. This setup is touted to be the world’s first rising camera with Bokeh Effect Video mode.  

Audio Zoom

This function enables the user to amplify the sound of an object to create a more impactful video. This is possible due to active sound mitigation technology that cuts down ambient noise. 

This sums up that the Reno 2 is a capable flagship camera phone. So what are you waiting for? The phone will be going on sale from September 20th across Flipkart, Amazon and other online stores.
