I cannot believe at the price (JB sell it same price as Reno Z (rel.Aug 19) which also $449).. Is the cheapest I've seen in OZ.. even more cheaper than the last Deal. is available with White and Black..

and I hope is not Wrong Price and OW should match/beat to $426.55….

this is a great phone for the price.. Very Good Camera… very good in Videography.. support Dual simcard and Micro Sd. (without sacrificing simcard slot)

    I have this phone and for this price. I would take this over the Pixel 3A.

    • 1st-Amendment on 01/12/2019 - 12:58

      I have the 3a XL and was thinking of buying another for the missus, but $649 was just a little higher than I wanted to spend. I'll have to go check this one out (I've had a couple of Oppos before and thought they were decent budget-to-mid range phones)

      • 1st-Amendment on 01/12/2019 - 13:11

        Two potential gotchas I found:
        -It has a glass back, I actually prefer plastic as it's more robust for clumsy people like me
        -It has a goofy looking pop up camera. Moving parts are a no-no for reliability -ie how long before that breaks?

        • echocae on 01/12/2019 - 13:17
          +3
          1. a good cover wont break the glass back

          2.the Front camera is rated for 170000 Cycle (up and down - 1 cycle).. the questions is how much Selfie cam do u use daily?. and do u want to use face unlock or not.. if both of this question answer to NO.. then is will last more than 5 years…

          The upside to the pop-up camera is that there's no stupid f$&king notch ruining the symmetry of the screen.

        Oppo has come a long way. I was pleasant surprised on how far Oppo has progressed over the years. This phone with Office work price beat is way better than buying a Pixel 3A. More versatile camera, faster charging, bigger battery and more memory for apps.

        Gaming on this phone is much better. My Pixel 3A I had was laggy on Pokemon GO.

    How does this compare with the Mi 9T Pro?

    They both seem to have the same sized battery, 8GB RAM, top CPU, in-screen fingerprint and popup selfie camera.
    Differences would likely be camera quality, UI, Fast charging speed and a local power plug with this one.

    • echocae on 01/12/2019 - 11:53

      oppo V Mi 9T Pro… on my opinion
      camera Oppo so much better
      Video Oppo So much better
      UI : I like Mi
      Fast Charge : Oppo
      SD support: Oppo
      SOC: Mi
      Os/Sec Update: Mi
      Warranty: Oppo

    • sinners007 on 01/12/2019 - 11:56

      9T Pro has the far superior CPU (438k v 213k on antutu)
      They both use the same Samsung main camera sensor (IMX586).
      Then it's the MIUI v ColorOS debate.

      • striker5950 on 01/12/2019 - 12:01

        honestly i use a redmi note 3 on the side as a backup phone few months ago, and i can do everything on it, including gaming.. im pretty damn sure the helio p90 is way better than that, specs arent everything real world performance is different, if you are just running speed test to see which is higher in numbers.. who cares? if its smooth at what you use it for without lag, that is what matters.

        • sinners007 on 01/12/2019 - 12:03

          I have the 9T - it's SD730 is similar to the P90. I agree that in every day usage there isn't much of a diff BUT Nukkels asked for a comparison and point of diff … and the SD855 is the far superior chip on paper (maybe less so in daily use but still superior).

            @exxonsign: "A backup phone" is a term used as an excuse to buy a second phone, also known as "cousin's Christmas present" or "just in case if my wife's drops hers on a tile floor".

      • sinners007 on 01/12/2019 - 12:01

        Correction - meant to say Sony

    • willyroo on 01/12/2019 - 12:01

      The better comparison is the Mi 9T, for price and specs. The SD730 in the Mi 9T is a bit snappier (Mrs w has the first Reno Z). Cameras close run thing. Miui updates quicker than Color OS. I don't/she doesn't like either of them, we use the Poco launcher in both.

      The killer punch - if photography your thing - for the Mi 9T is using a GCam APK. In difficult low light (eg a concert), Mi 9T a degree better, especially video.

      Can't get a 128Gb Mi 9T from an Australian seller anywhere near this price - the Reno2 Z is a killer price.

      • xmail on 01/12/2019 - 13:57

        You can get the 9T pro 128Gb for ~$510 on eBay - though that is grey import of course.

      You're talking as if a hauwei phone is some Galaxy 10. Oppo, hwauei or whatever it's called are all on the same bucket, except for one of them is a sellout to the chinese authoritarian regime and will stop receiving support from Google shortly. One should be an idiot to buy it.

      • Diji1 on 01/12/2019 - 14:20

        One, where's the evidence for Huawei doing anything, and two, GOOGLE ACTUALLY DID what you are accusing Huawei of doing.

        • CocaKoala on 01/12/2019 - 16:11

          I never said anything about Google, so what's with that?! I know Google and a number of others regularly sells out to the authoritarianism as well, but that's sidelining my point. Are you aware of the simple fact that hawuei is by law expected to give away any information that's required of them by the authoritarian regime?

          I think there might be some issues with frequency inside buildings and rural areas or something similar. If it wasn't for the missing band 28, I reckon the reno ace would have been the best value for money phone with the most advanced specs

    Thanks OP. I also made a beeline to an Officeworks and they grudgingly sold it to me for $426.55. which is what I paid for the Reno Z 6 months ago. Got to say I've been really impressed with the performance of the Z, so I expect the 2Z will be just as good.

    • Mugsy on 01/12/2019 - 18:41

      Another one here who went straight to OW to ask for a pricebeat. I'm currently on a Lumia 950 which I've been using for 3yrs now. MS will discontinue their Windows Phone support at the end of the year and Whatsapp will stop working so I've been looking at Oppo's line up for entry to mid range phones.

      I loved the specs on the Reno 2Z but didn't like the $600 price tag… at $426 though, I can stomach it. Looking forward to getting 3-5yrs out of this new phone.
