Oppo Reno 2 — Full Specifications & Used-Buying Guide for Pakistan

The Oppo Reno 2 is a piece of smartphone history: launched in Pakistan in October 2019 at Rs. 79,999, it was famous for two things — a shark-fin pop-up selfie camera and a completely notch-free panoramic AMOLED display. It has been discontinued for years, so you will not find it new with official warranty anymore. What you will find are used units in Pakistan's second-hand market, and that is exactly what this guide is for: the Reno 2's verified specifications, what a fair used price looks like, and — most importantly — what to check before handing over cash for a seven-year-old phone.

Design and Build Quality

The Reno 2's design was its headline act in 2019 and still turns heads: with the selfie camera hidden in a motorised shark-fin pop-up module — a wedge that rises from the top edge at an angle, unlike ordinary pop-ups — the 6.5-inch AMOLED stretches edge to edge with no notch or punch hole. The back is Gorilla Glass 5 over an aluminium frame, with the quad cameras sitting flush (no camera bump) and a signature vertical light-strip beneath them. At 9.5 mm and 189 grams it's chunky by today's standards, and there's no official water-resistance rating. In Ocean Blue or Luminous Black, a clean used example still looks distinctive in 2026 — just remember that the pop-up mechanism is a moving part with seven years of potential wear.

Display Features

The 6.5-inch AMOLED (1080 x 2400, ~401 ppi) was excellent in 2019 and remains perfectly usable today: deep blacks, punchy colours and no notch interrupting videos. The trade-offs are generational — it's a 60Hz panel (no high refresh rate), brightness is modest by 2026 standards, and there's no HDR certification worth mentioning. For reading, video and social media it still does the job; gamers and anyone used to 120Hz screens will feel the step back. Check any used unit for screen burn-in (common on old AMOLEDs) and dead pixels before buying.

Processor and Performance

The Snapdragon 730G (8 nm) with Adreno 618 graphics was a strong upper-midrange chip in 2019. In 2026 terms, it's a basic-use chip: fine for calls, WhatsApp, YouTube, browsing and light apps, but noticeably slower than even today's budget phones, and modern games will struggle. The bigger issue is software age — more on that below. Buy a Reno 2 for its design and cameras as a secondary or collector phone, not as your fast daily driver. These are specification-level expectations, not benchmarked results on aged units.

RAM and Storage

Eight gigabytes of RAM was generous in 2019 and remains adequate for light multitasking today. Storage came in 128 GB and 256 GB versions with no microSD slot, so confirm which variant the used unit is — 128 GB fills up fast in 2026. Ask the seller to show the storage screen in Settings so you know exactly what you're getting.

Camera Features

For its era, the camera system was flagship-grade: a 48MP Sony IMX586 main sensor (f/1.7) with OIS, a 13MP telephoto with 2x optical zoom, an 8MP ultrawide and a 2MP mono sensor, with 5x hybrid zoom and up to 20x digital zoom, plus Ultra Steady video and a dedicated night mode. In good light, a well-kept Reno 2 still takes genuinely nice photos — the OIS main camera holds up better than you'd expect. The 16MP shark-fin front camera takes decent selfies. But compare honestly with 2026: no 4K60 finesse, no modern night algorithms, no ultrawide that impresses anymore. Test every lens on the used unit, and cycle the pop-up camera multiple times — a grinding or slow mechanism means expensive trouble.

Battery and Charging

The 4000 mAh battery with 20W VOOC 3.0 charging was respectable in 2019; in 2026, on a used unit, it's the biggest risk. Seven years of charge cycles degrade any battery, and a Reno 2 that hasn't had its battery replaced will likely need mid-day charging. Ask the seller about battery health and whether the battery has been replaced (and by whom — unofficial replacements are common). Twenty-watt charging feels slow today, but at least VOOC keeps it safe. Budget for a battery replacement when pricing a used Reno 2.

Software and Updates

The Reno 2 launched on Android 9 with ColorOS 6.1 and its official update life ended years ago. Do not expect current Android versions or security patches. In 2026, that means some banking and government apps may refuse to run or warn about outdated software, and the phone is more exposed to security risks. If you plan to use it as a daily driver, check that your essential apps (banking, JazzCash/Easypaisa, WhatsApp) still support it. As a secondary phone, media device or collector's item, the old software matters less.

Connectivity and Additional Features

It's a 4G-only phone: GSM, HSPA and 4G LTE on Pakistani networks, with a hybrid dual-SIM tray (second SIM or storage expansion isn't an option — there's no card slot, so the hybrid tray is SIM-only in practice). Wireless connectivity includes dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC and GPS/GLONASS/Galileo/BDS. The under-display optical fingerprint sensor still works but is slower than modern ones. No 5G, no Wi-Fi 6, no 3.5mm jack.

Variants, Colours and Availability

The Reno 2 is discontinued — Oppo no longer makes it and no official warranty applies. Pakistan received it in 8 GB RAM with 128 GB or 256 GB storage, in Ocean Blue and Luminous Black (Sunset Pink appeared in some regions). Every unit on the market today is used, refurbished or old stock. Treat any “brand new, box packed” claim with extreme scepticism: after seven years, sealed claims are far more likely to be refurbished units in fresh boxes. Buy from a seller who lets you inspect and test the phone in person.

Used Price in Pakistan and PTA Information

There is no official new price anymore — the 2019 launch price was Rs. 79,999, which is history, not a guide. Used Reno 2 units in Pakistan typically change hands at budget prices that depend entirely on condition, storage variant and PTA status; check our current used listing for the price of the unit we have in stock. As a rough guide, well-kept PTA-approved examples command more than non-PTA or rough-condition ones — but always compare condition first, price second.

On PTA: this matters enormously for a used Reno 2. Many used units circulating are non-PTA or have patched/changed IMEIs. Dial *#06#, take the IMEI, and check it on the PTA DIRBS portal before paying a rupee. A cheap non-PTA phone becomes expensive once you add the PTA tax — and a tampered IMEI can get the device blocked. Read our guide on what PTA approval means and how to check an IMEI before you buy any used phone.

Main Advantages and Limitations (as a used buy)

Advantages

• Iconic shark-fin pop-up camera and true full-screen AMOLED — still unique and conversation-worthy.
• 48MP Sony sensor with OIS takes genuinely good daylight photos even now.
• Premium 2019 build: Gorilla Glass 6 front, aluminium frame, flush cameras.
• 8 GB RAM and up to 256 GB storage remain usable for light use.
• Very affordable as a secondary phone, media device or collector's item.

Limitations

• No software updates for years — security risk and some apps may not run.
• Aged 4000 mAh battery will likely need replacement.
• Pop-up mechanism is a wear item — test it thoroughly.
• 4G only, 60Hz display, 20W charging — all dated.
• High risk of non-PTA or IMEI-tampered units in the used market.

Who Should Consider This Phone?

The used Reno 2 suits three kinds of buyers: collectors who love its iconic design, buyers wanting a cheap secondary or media phone, and anyone who specifically wants a notch-free screen on a budget. It is not for anyone needing a secure daily driver — the dead software support rules that out — nor for gamers or anyone wanting 5G. If your budget allows a modern budget phone (even a used Reno 12F or 13F), you'll get updates, 5G-less-but-modern performance and far better battery life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Oppo Reno 2 still available new in Pakistan?

No. It was discontinued years ago. Every unit available today is used, refurbished or old stock — be sceptical of “brand new” claims.

What is a fair used price for the Reno 2?

It depends on condition, storage variant and PTA status. Check our current used listing for the unit we have, and compare condition first, price second.

What should I check before buying a used Reno 2?

Test the shark-fin pop-up camera multiple times, check the AMOLED for burn-in, verify battery health, test all four rear cameras, confirm the storage variant, and — critically — verify the IMEI on the PTA DIRBS portal.

Does the Reno 2 support 5G?

No. It's a 4G-only phone (Snapdragon 730G has no 5G modem).

Will banking apps work on it?

Maybe not. It runs old Android with no security updates, and some banking and payment apps block outdated software. Verify your essential apps before relying on it as a daily phone.

Is the pop-up camera reliable after all these years?

It's a mechanical part with years of wear. Cycle it repeatedly during inspection — grinding, hesitation or failure to retract means walk away or negotiate hard.

How is the battery on a used Reno 2?

Expect degradation. Ask whether the battery was replaced and by whom, and budget for a replacement when comparing prices.

Final Verdict

The Oppo Reno 2 is a design icon, not a practical 2026 daily driver. As a used buy, it's a fair pick only if you go in with open eyes: verify the PTA status and IMEI, test the pop-up mechanism and screen, assume the battery needs replacing, and accept the dead software support. At the right used price from a seller who lets you inspect it properly, it's a charming piece of phone history. As a blind online purchase at an inflated “box pack” price, it's a trap — don't fall for it.
