Oppo Reno 2 vs Reno 2z | Which is best for me?

Comparing Oppo's Reno 2 versus the cheaper Reno 2z side-by-side, to see how they compare for speed, battery life, camera features, software, gaming performance and more. Here in the UK, the standard Reno2 costs £449 while the budget-friendly Reno2z comes in at £329. But which Oppo phone is best for you?

The major difference between these two mobiles is the speed. That full-fat Reno 2 serves up a Snapdragon 730G platform for improved gaming performance with the likes of PubG Mobile. Meanwhile the cheaper 2Z cuts back the specs to a Mediatek chipset, which is fine for everyday use but won't boast the same longevity for games.

The Reno 2 also offers a proper telephoto camera lens, while Oppo has trimmed this for the more budget-friendly handset. That said, both phones can capture good looking photos at day or night, plus up to 4K resolution video.

Battery life is a winner on the Reno 2Z, which once again delivers a 4000mAh cell with VOOC 3.0 charging. You get almost the same ColorOS 6.1 features too, while the design is just as sleek.
