OPPO also rolled out the Reno 2F as a sub variant to the Reno 2. If you are still a fan of the pop-up technique on a selfie camera, the Reno 2F could be your favorite in Nigeria.
From the few smartphones Oppo have launched in Nigeria, it is very clear that the company is not manufacturing for low-end users in Nigeria. Her price point is number one evidence.
The Oppo Reno 2F is another good looking smartphone that will remind you of the f 11 pro in Nigeria. This is by no means a 100% cheap smartphone but trust me, it is worth your cash.
A first look at her outward appearance will remind you of your dream smartphone especially when you are viewing from behind. The Oppo Reno 2F is a pride to handle.

Design
The Oppo Reno 2F comes with a very futuristic design that is here to stay, this is one of the few smartphones you can buy and use for a sustainable period of time if you don’t want to change your smartphone really quick in Nigeria.
The placements on the Oppo Reno 2F is a little bit different. To start with, there is a secondary microphone at the top and a pop-up selfie camera that lightens up when you want to take a picture. Well, this is not the first.
On the Oppo Reno 2F, you will notice some few changes. The volume and power buttons which we are used to seeing on the right side of most Android phones in Nigeria have been separated on this very smartphone.
The volume buttons are on the left while the power button and dual SIM tray with dedicated microSD card slot are on right. The 3.5mm headphone jack, microphone, USB-C port and speaker grill are at the bottom.
The rear camera set up also got a favorable spot, it was placed at the center. On the same line just slightly below, you will see a nice written “designed by Oppo” text and Oppo brand name inscription.
Still on the back, one can not help but admire the 3D curved corning gorilla glass 5 back on the Oppo Reno 2F. The front is also protected by the same type of glass. So you need to be careful when handling this device in Nigeria.
Display

The display has a typical value 430nit brightness and a 60000:1(min) contrast ratio. Since the display is surrounded by small bezels, we are not surprised to see it grap a 91:1% screen ratio.

My Thoughts
A lower variant is not that bad, the difference here is not as big. The Oppo Reno 2F is just as good but very okay if you want something that is good on the average.
Everything here is decent. Even her performance is great, the Oppo Reno 2F scored 148,130 in Antutu benchmark test. So gaming with this device in Nigeria is not disappointing.
I also must not forget to let you know that Oppo is offering a 2 years warranty when you buy the Reno 2F in Nigeria.
