IT PRO | Keumars Afifi-Sabet

There's a lot to be commended in the Reno2 - a laudable mid-range handset packed full of flagship features and a premium camera to boot. While there are clear shortcomings, its pricing means it's a fantastic option if you're operating on a tight budget.

I thoroughly recommend checking out the Reno 2, and you can go and see a live model in most Carphone Warehouse and EE stores to see for yourself why I think it's such a great choice and a phone that must have the competition worried.

The Oppo Reno 2 is further proof that the manufacturer can design extremely attractive devices. The complete package of design, equipment and software optimization shows the ambition of the Chinese to further conquer markets outside of China.

MobileTechTalk | Siddu Munjal

I've thoroughly enjoyed my time with the Oppo Reno 2, I genuinely haven't felt the slightest bit of difference in terms of my day to day productivity and usability in comparison to the much more powerful Oppo Reno 10X Zoom and my daily driver, the iPhone XS Max.

At this price, it's an absolute steal considering the tech you're getting for the money.

Overall I was impressed with the Reno 2 and found the mid-ranger to be value for money for what it can do.

Android Authority | Dhruv Bhutan

There's a lot to like about the Oppo Reno 2, but the internals are a step behind what the competition offers. However, if gaming is not a top priority, the head turner design, excellent hand feel, and great battery life make it a fantastic bet.

NotebookCheck | Mike Wobker

Although buyers of the Oppo Reno2 won't be investing in a bad phone, the quad-camera system should not be the deciding factor.

Trusted Reviews | Andrew Williams

A high-quality phone that performs well enough in all areas to offer serious competition to more expensive rivals.

TechRadar | Tom Bedford

The Oppo Reno 2 is a decent mid-range device, offering some of the best features of the Reno range at a competitive price. However it's not got the processing power or camera skills of some previous Oppo phones, and it doesn't change the Reno formula in any big way.

SlashGear | Chris Burns

If the OPPO Reno 2 weren't hampered by an off-putting amount of bloatware, it'd be really great. It's a beautiful piece of hardware that's not really failed to perform the vast majority of the time we've had to test.

NDTV Gadgets | Aditya Shenoy

The Oppo Reno 2 feels very much like the Reno 2Z which we reviewed recently, but it does everything a little better ... however, if you are willing to spend a little more, the older Oppo Reno 10x Zoom Edition is still available and will give you the best of both worlds.

Expert Reviews | Jonathan Bray

The Reno 2 is perfectly competent phone and a longer-lasting, faster alternative to the Google Pixel 3A XL, with a more flexible camera setup, but you can't ignore the brilliant Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro.

Pocket-lint | Cam Bunton

A premium looking device with a very capable camera system, long battery life and a great display, the Reno 2 is a success. But by flooding the market, and with the latest Realme X2 Pro phone having been announced, Oppo isn't always helping itself.

It's a pleasure to use and a pleasure to hold. It ticks two things that are most important to us: great cameras and battery life. It even has a USB-C port, super fast charging, and a headphone jack.

...given the range of quality options already on offer, as well as the peculiarities of trying to buy an Oppo phone in the US, we would advise (with a somewhat heavy heart) that you look elsewhere

91mobiles | Deepak Dhingra

There's little doubt that the OPPO Reno2 is a very capable smartphone, scoring high on almost all aspects. It's a smooth performer that offers decent battery life, can shoot well in almost all conditions, and looks great too. However, the one place where it falters is pricing.

Oppo Reno 2 is a decent smartphone, but the competition is quite stiff in this price range.

Gadgets Now | Robin Sinha

So if you are one of those who want a handset that could do nearly everything with ease while looking premium and backed by a large battery? Reno 2 should be in your pocket. If you want a good overall camera performance and not just a 20x digital zoom, Reno 2 wins the game here as well.

The Oppo Reno 2 is a decent midrange smartphone that takes good photos, but it falls behind Oppo's own Reno 10x Zoom and a number of other competitors.

How HandsetExpert Works: We don't run ads on the site, or charge users to use the site. The site is funded using commission links, where we may receive a commission if a phone or tariff is purchased via HandsetExpert. Our editorial, phone scoring and recommendation system and deal-finding algorithms are not affected by this; we are fiercely committed to providing unbiased, independent information.

Important notes

  • We aim to compare as many tariffs in the marketplace from the UK as possible. However, we do not include every package (e.g. legacy tariffs no longer available, or tariffs only available to existing/specific customers), nor do we detail every aspect of every tariff (e.g. international out of bundle rates, on-network minutes, etc).
  • SIM Only deals do not include plans shorter than 30 days or Pay As You Go rates.
  • We work really hard to get accurate prices from as many providers as possible, but some deals or providers may not be included; if there’s anything we’ve missed then please get in touch and let us know.
  • Whenever we can, we will let you know if a deal is time limited (such as a flash deal), and when the deal expires.
  • For tariffs which offer "unlimited" allowances, there may be times where traffic management or fair usage policies apply.
  • Additional charges for payment methods other than direct debit and for itemised/paper billing may apply.
  • Data only SIM cards, mobile broadband packages, and pay monthly tablets are currently not included in the comparison.
  • Out of bundle charges are not included in the calculation of Average Monthly Cost.
  • Contracts may not be available for some phone models in all colours and/or sizes, and a small number may only be available either as a pay monthly contract or a contract free handset, but not both.
  • Providers may increase the cost of your contract by RPI (inflation). However, if prices are increased that then cause a materially detrimental impact, you have the right to exit your contract without penalty. More details available from Ofcom plus comparative information on customer service and complaints handling & their guide on how to complain.
  • Ofcom runs a voluntary accreditation scheme for digital comparison tools (DCTs) for telephone, broadband and pay-TV, and has confirmed that this DCT meets the criteria for accreditation. For further details about the scheme, including the criteria that DCTs must meet, visit the price comparison page on the Ofcom website.
