We called the original Reno Z a leading mid-range phone in our review. It wasn't perfect, but it offered a lot of hardware for a very reasonable spend. The Oppo Reno 2 Z just adds more, with an extra two rear cameras and motorised front camera that makes a great screen even better.

Good value; Big movie-loving screen; High quality glass build; Neat mechanical front camera

Quad camera array is a red herring; Could do with a little more GPU power

The Oppo Reno 2 Z is a great budget-focused smartphone, but with a hit-and-miss camera setup, it's not perfect

Excellent all rounder phone, went from IPhone to the oppo and will never look back

At $599 RRP, OPPO Reno2 Z offers plenty for the money – including amazing design and feel of the phone, accessories, and good camera shots to share in your social media feeds. Sure, there is no wireless charging (but it has USB Type-C!) and the camera struggles in HDR and low lit conditions.

A top-notch mid-range Android if you value design and screen quality highly.

I have some trouble expressing a strong opinion on the Reno Z because it doesn't do anything outstandingly well, but it does a lot of things very well, and the overall experience is actually pretty great.

It's hard to find much to dislike about the Oppo Reno Z – while some features could be better, like the chipset and camera, they're far from bad. Throw in the impressive design and display and you've got a fantastic phone, particularly given its budget price tag.

Low price tag; Premium-feeling design; High-quality display

Limited camera functions; Chipset is okay; not great; Loses the Oppo Reno's distinctive pop-up camera
