OPPO has launched the Reno 2 Series in Pakistan with two models — Reno2 and Reno2 F. The new series is the iteration of OPPO’s Reno series launched only a couple of months ago.
Focusing on photography, the new phones come with the quad-camera setup that includes 5x hybrid zoom, “ultra-clear night shots” with Ultra Dark Mode and Ultra Steady Video to record “super-stable videos”. The Ultra-Wide-Angle lens that provides the 116-degree angle of view.
The main 48MP camera is equipped with a 1/2″ type sensor along with f/1.7 aperture lens and Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). With Quad-Bayer technology, Reno2 is claimed to achieve better performance in low light. The Reno2 Series’ Ultra-Dark Mode covers an entire range of different night scenes via a powerful NPU, and OPPO fine-tuned algorithms.
Even if light levels measure below 1 lux, it elevates your photos beyond naked eye through hardware network-optimized AI noise reduction. Software dynamic exposure adjustments also secure optimal picture brightness allowing you to reveal objects in the night with the use of a built-in NPU speeding up picture processing.
The Reno2 has an improved Ultra Steady Video Mode for even better stability of videos. It’s achieved through an IMU measuring device with a high sampling rate and a hull sensor, equipped with Electronic Image Stabilization and Optical Image Stabilization. These compensate users’ shaky shots more accurately, and together with a 60fps frame rate, enhance image stabilization, fluency, and overall image quality.
