The OPPO Reno2 and 2F offer a rear quad-camera experience (hybrid zoom, ultra-wide angle, bokeh, ultra night mode, ultra steady mode for video, bokeh effect video, audio zoom, noise cancellation video, etc.) in a no-notch-and-no-camera-hole, all-screen design (complete with rising pop up cameras) continued from the first Reno. The selfie cams are just as impressive (see sample below).
While both models are nearly identical in looks (save for the differently shaped pop up cameras), the Reno2 offers better specs, better rear cameras, and a higher price. The Reno2 series, by the way, will replace the OPPO F series line. The table below highlights in orange some key specs differences between the Reno2 and 2F.
