Review of the smartphone Oppo Reno Ace 2 with key features

The OPPO brand has officially unveiled a new model that supports 5G technology and has the flagship Snapdragon processor. The name of the smartphone is OPPO Ace2. You can talk about the characteristics of this flagship endlessly, but it is better to delve into a more detailed study of a number of the main and most significant ones.

Characteristic table

Display features

The gadget has a 6.55-inch OLED screen. The maximum brightness value is 500 nits, but in good lighting conditions this figure rises to 1100 nits. There is no cutout for the selfie camera on the display, only a hole is present.

Display options

As for the screen refresh rate, it is 90 Hz. Doubts may arise here, because now you can find more impressive parameters on the market, however, the same function is implemented by individual manufacturers in different ways. Therefore, it is difficult to call this indicator a disadvantage, because. functionality from it does not fall. The manufacturer paid special attention to the touch sampling rate. Accordingly, the higher this value, the faster the device responds to touch. By increasing this frequency, the developers have reduced the response time of the display to third-party touches.And if in everyday life such an innovation may go unnoticed, then in the game mode it is strongly felt. If we compare the new product with its predecessor, then the parameter has increased by 45 Hz.

The fingerprint scanner can be found under the screen. In addition, it has been updated to the latest version. There is no need to complain about his work, because. the reaction rate can be safely called high. There are no failures in the work, so you should not worry.

External design OPPO Ace2

Again, if you compare the OPPO Ace2 with the previous model, you can find significant changes in appearance. The brand has always adhered to the vertical layout of the camera in its developments. Now you can see the replacement of the circle shape with four lenses, which are located in a rounded area. Another detail, albeit a minor one, is that the manufacturer has made its logo at the bottom of the lid horizontal.

Availability of 5G

But 5G technology requires separate consideration. Of course, the presence of such a function is considered a significant advantage among users. However, there are questions about its safety, moreover, energy consumption is much higher than in the "standard" state. To compensate for this nuance, a huge number of components and a capacious battery are required, which means that the weight of the smartphone will increase, this cannot be called a plus. But the developers were able to keep the weight of the device at 185 g. This figure can be called exceptional for flagships with this technology. And if initially users do not pay attention to the weight of the gadget, then in the future it often becomes a serious problem, especially during games.

General dimensions of the device

Speaking of dimensions, it should be noted right away that the smartphone is much thinner than last year's Reno Ace.This was facilitated by the location of the buttons and the overall weight, as well as a practical cover that ensured convenient use of the device.

To assess the overall performance of the phone will allow a detailed examination of the main parameters relating to its functionality.

Basic phone settings

The developers drew attention to the fact that OPPO Ace2 is a smartphone for gamers. It is logical that a high-frequency screen needs a processor that can handle tasks of high complexity, and one was found. Thanks to him, the performance of the phone has increased significantly, but power consumption, on the contrary, has decreased significantly. So, we can conclude that the developers managed to combine the incongruous, not only retaining the original parameters, but also improving them noticeably.

Memory sizes

Particularly impressive was the size of the RAM, which showed 8 GB in the initial configuration and 12 GB in the subsequent one. The storage capacity is 128 GB/256 GB. The smartphone is controlled by ColorOS 7.1, based on Android 10. This solution helps the smartphone withstand the load of many resource-intensive applications and games.

Heat distribution

The most common problem among gaming phones is heat dissipation. However, the manufacturer took this moment into account, making some adjustments to his creation. The body of the gadget is additionally equipped with a new type of thermal buffer material. This substance has special properties that have a gradual effect on heat, due to which the speed of its movement slows down. The main advantage of this solution is that there is no feeling that the palms are heated along with the device.The streams are distributed evenly and gradually, which makes them much less noticeable.

Charging speed (wired and wireless)

Fast charging of the model also did not go unnoticed. The original wired charger allows you to charge your phone in 5 minutes up to 25% and in 12 minutes up to 50%. It will take no more than 35 minutes to fully charge. If we compare the model with previous smartphones, then the time it takes to charge has slightly increased, but the development is still not inferior to other brands. The smartphone is rightfully considered one of the fastest charging devices on the market in 2020.

In fact, wireless charging has attracted significantly more interest than wired. Thanks to high-tech developments, a full charge of the phone takes no more than 56 minutes. Nevertheless, if we consider the situation objectively, now the technology market is ready to offer a huge number of gadgets with support for wireless charging, so this phenomenon no longer surprises users.

Camera resolution, their characteristics

Talking about the body of OPPO Ace2, one cannot fail to note the nice design with the presence of four cameras. The resolution of the main camera was 48 megapixels, the resolution of the ultra wide-angle lens is 8 megapixels, and the maximum viewing angle is 119 °. The package also includes a 2-megapixel module for portrait mode and a 2-megapixel module for macro photography. Nothing particularly surprising, but here the manufacturer did not try to impress the audience, but simply held the positions already taken earlier. The main focus of the development is gaming, so the phone can be called really advanced in this area.And if the last two modules can be called a standard marketing ploy, typical for most brands, then there is real benefit from the 48-megapixel module. Support for 10x digital zoom and various photo modes make the shots truly impressive.

What's more, the camera's professional mode, with the XHD option enabled, is able to capture 100MP photos, which can be called an incredible phenomenon. And if competitors try to equip their gadgets with 100-megapixel lenses, presenting it as a kind of miracle, then OPPO gave users the opportunity to independently increase the resolution if they wish. The main advantage of this ability is to get a much more detailed picture than the standard ones. In addition, the Soloop software is immediately installed on the smartphone, which makes processing a number of videos a simple task.

There is the possibility of recording video in 4K format. Slow motion is also amazing, its value was 240 frames.

But there is not much to say about the front 16-megapixel camera. Its aperture value is f/2.4. There are a whole range of functions and additions needed to create a selfie. The possibility of obtaining video in FULLHD format is not ruled out. You can’t call such values ​​striking, but for everyday use this is more than enough.

When to expect new

The model from OPPO is presented in three colors: silver, gray and purple, which is very impressive, because smartphones of this level are often not pleased with the variety of colors. The phone will go on sale on April 20 in China.

• Large display that meets all modern standards;
• High processor power;
• Large amounts of memory;
• High-speed wired charging;
• Availability of wireless charging;

• There is no microSD slot and no standard headphone jack.

The announcement of the novelty caused a huge stir among the fans, which indicates the high interest of the audience. It is planned that the gadget will become one of the best-selling among smartphones this year.
