It doesn’t always come down to which phone is better, as you may think. Filling up the third and fourth positions respectively on the list of top smartphone brands in the world, iPhone and OPPO are definitely close competitors in the smartphone world.

This brings us to the review topic today, which entails comparing the latest products from these brands - the iPhone 11 and Reno2 smartphones. These devices have both captured the hearts of many tech enthusiasts and brand loyalists alike and it’s no wonder why; from the beautiful body designs to the amazing camera technology. However, is that all there is to it? Let’s take a closer look.

The iPhone 11 and Reno2 will be compared in relation to the following categories:

CAMERA

iPhone 11 -12 MP + 12 MP VS OPPO Reno2 - 48MP + 13 MP + 8 MP + 2 MP

iPhone 11 features a dual-camera system with two cameras of the same megapixels (12 MP) albeit for wide and ultra-wide angles respectively while the Reno2 has four cameras of 48 MP (main camera) +13 MP (long-focus lens) + 8 MP (wide-angle lens) + 2 MP (bokeh lens) for each.
The front camera of the iPhone 11 is 12 MP as well while that of the Reno2 has 16 MP.

OPPO Reno2 Shark-fin camera has that ‘Woah’ factor that just astounds everyone when you showcase it, certified to make you stand out of the crowd, anytime and anywhere. The front camera of the Reno2 is an outstanding 16 MP with beautification mode turned on by default. A comparison with the iPhone 11 mere 12 MP showed that Reno2 produced clearer pictures with even more detailing. OPPO Reno2 camera has a whole lot more megapixels than the iPhone 11, which means better picture quality.

Rear Cameras - OPPO Reno2 has the quad-camera set up which is embedded into the rear of the phone useful for photo enhancement like blur, zoom, etc. The 8 MP camera functions for the wide-angle lens which serves to capture the widest view possible, from an entire stage performance to the largest group of smiling people posing for a photo without anyone having to stand at awkward positions.
You definitely can’t forget the OPPO Reno2 5X Hybrid and 20X digital zoom available which brings you closer to practically everything! Each with an incredible amount of clarity no matter how much you zoom in. The iPhone 11 does have a zoom feature but only up to 4X and this is not one of the scenarios where less is more - we must say.

Both the OPPO Reno2 and the iPhone 11 have portrait and night mode. However, while the night mode on the OPPO Reno2 works automatically by detecting the level of light in the environment and producing clearer and sharper pictures even at night, you may have to stress a little on the iPhone 11 to activate night mode.
Video Camera - The OPPO Reno2 video camera gives you the opportunity to make videos while moving or still with the Ultra Steady Video option as well as sound focus, dynamic zoom and auto wind reduction.

INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY

OPPO Reno2 features the unique Shark-fin selfie camera which of course, provides for a notch-free screen perfect for gaming and streaming videos; the embedded quad-camera setup which protects your camera from scratches and dust and while the iPhone 11 has the new dual-lens, it is not quite as protected - and even a pouch will not help you with this.

The iPhone 11 features the Dolby Atmos which adds improvement to the sound system of the iPhone 11. The OPPO Reno2, on the other hand, has the 360 degrees microphone which record audio from all angles as well as the stereo speakers to give you the maximum loudspeaker experience with noise cancellation.

DESIGN

OPPO Reno2 has the 6.5 inch (16.51 cm) screen with no notch whatsoever. This is made possible by the unique Shark-fin selfie camera which provides for an obstruction-free screen, great for your streaming and gaming experiences. It’s also a well-known fact that activities like reading, browsing, chatting etc are more pleasurable on a bigger screen.

The iPhone 11 has a 6”1 (15.49cm) screen size, obviously not as impressive, the OPPO Reno2 screen is bigger by over 15%. Also, the OPPO Reno2 has an AMOLED screen which makes everything sharper and clearer when compared to the iPhone 11 IPS LCD screen.

Made with Gorilla Glass 6, the OPPO Reno2 is lightweight and sleek to the touch. The iPhone 11 is made with Gorilla Glass as well but is a little on the heavy side. However, the iPhone 11 is slimmer in hand (8.1 mm) than the OPPO Reno2 (9.5 mm).

While the iPhone comes in six colours: black, green, yellow, purple, red and white, the OPPO Reno2 comes in great naturalistic colours from the ocean blue and luminous black - with each colour fading and increasing at different parts of the rear, presenting great aesthetics to the user.

BATTERY

Wait for it guys, the OPPO Reno2 has a whopping 4000 mAh battery capacity! Sorry, iPhone 11 (3110 mAh) but OPPO Reno2 has the day on this one (up to 25% more to be precise). Think of all you could do, from gaming to music to social networking and more - all without desperately searching for the nearby socket with eagle eyes. Well, the Reno2 gives you that freedom.

iPhone 11 does come with wireless charging and that gives it an edge over the Reno2. However, OPPO Reno2 comes with fast charging of VOOC v 3.0 fast charging which means you can charge your device in as little as 30 minutes and have it lasts as long as 24 hours.

PERFORMANCE

OPPO Reno2 has 100% more RAM (8 GB) than iPhone 11 has a RAM (4 GB). The winner in this category is already quite obvious as this also means that more apps can run at the same time on the OPPO Reno2. Aside from that, Reno2 has a ROM of 256 GB which can also be expanded up to 256 GB. Nothing short of amazing. iPhone 11 has a ROM of 64 GB, 12 GB and 256 GB - all dependent on pricing. More memory means more space for pictures, videos, music, applications and basically, whatever the hell you want on your phone.

You get the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 730 G with the Reno2 and the Apple A13 Bionic with the iPhone 11. Reno2 however, has the edge as it comes with the Octa-Core processor which gives you the avenue to multitask (open as many apps as you want) without slowing down the user interface. iPhone 11 comes with Hexa Core, which is not as fast.

On the other hand, iPhone 11 has a faster CPU (2.65 GHz) than the Reno2 (2.2 GHz) and this assures users of a smoother experience.

EXPERIENCE

Both phones are cool, from the cameras to the designs. OPPO Reno2 stands out with the Shark-fin camera while iPhone 11 impresses with its looks and the wide range of available colours.

OPPO Reno2 boasts of the under-screen fingerprint which is a really great feature by the way; it’s painless and takes less than a second to unlock your phone. It also supports the FM Radio which is a feature that is missing in the iPhone 11.

Another appreciable feature of the Reno2 is the presence of the 3.5mm jack enables you to connect to more than a few other devices (such as speakers) that have 3.5mm port as well.

On the other hand, iPhone 11 may not be such a practical phone to use but it does offer a smoother experience, in interconnectivity across Apple products, against the OPPO Reno2.

For experience, I would say that this is a draw.

PRICE

OPPO Reno2 costs N179,000 while the iPhone 11 price in Nigeria starts around N288,000. Your choice may depend on what you need the phone for, as both phones actually perform similarly and are both status conferring items in the society.

In terms of practicality, most people would pick the Reno2 over the iPhone 11 since they perform similar functions and what’s more, the OPPO Reno2 does have that wow factor when the Shark-fin selfie camera pops out.

For all it does, the OPPO Reno2 offers good pricing that the high climbing Nigerian can afford, coupled with all the features of a phone needed for the day to day events or activities. The iPhone 11 pricing? Not so practical, there are a couple of things you could do with the extra bucks saved when you do not buy an iPhone 11.
It’s all down to you, would you rather spend N320,000 (128 GB) than N179,000 (256 GB) on a phone that would give you similar quality as one with lesser pricing? Your guess is as good as mine

CONCLUSION

Taking into consideration the above categories, from the camera to the battery, design and other factors, the OPPO Reno2 and iPhone 11 do measure up to each other.

iPhone 11 brings a new dual-lens to the iOS family while the OPPO Reno2 creates a whole new experience for that the Android family has never experienced before. With price being a major factor in users’ choice, it would be wise for users to critically look at each phone and how they stand against each other but thereafter pick the one that would serve them to the maximum without emptying their pockets.

Oya pepper them OPPO. Very insightful comparison, well informed.

Hmm yes Reno2 is a machine to be called a phone but don't forget Apple still remains the king amongst smartphone manufacturers.

Please who else is planning to spend the money saved for iPhone 11 to get this Reno2.

I guess so the reason why iPhone doesnt pack stuffs like 12gb ram and the rest is because they feel their users don't need it,its too excessive .. Or maybe the iPhone 11 can handle anything just fine

I have never been an Apple fan but ur comparison is bias
You have to understand that while Android needs higher ram,rom and multiple cores to function effectively and efficiently ios on the other hand does not need all of that.Apple processor is faster and better than snapdragon ios is fluid than android.Don't because of hate act blind to the truth.i have never owned an Apple products but i was fortunate to play with one.higher camera pixel doent mean better pictures it is the quality of the lens and optimization that does the trick.for example my xperia z1 has a 20.7mp camera which takes decent pictures but my lg g4 of 16mp takes better pictures.

Am not an apple fan boy but i think the OP is biased with some of the comparisons

Exactly....
IOS doesn't load apps in the background unnecessarily
Unlike Android
So this reduces battery consumption.
1gb ram apple will best a 2gb ram Android not all but ... You know what I mean
I don't use apple but I know that fact

Apple apps are more stable so they work perfect for their phones... That's why you will hardly come across their phones overheating only if it is completely degraded (processor and battery)

Someone that is almost mad. Comparing SD 720 to A13bionic.
He even said sd720 won
Na now I kno that poverty is a disease

DUMB OPINION. PLEASE DONT TELL ME YOU KNOW TECH STUFF

I know the ram size depends on the processor and all that
What I meant is IOS is different from Android
If not better.. Lemme give an example
Android use ram for everything so needs more unlike IOS so that is why new flagship Android are opting for huge ram that can't be fully utilized
Although it has is benefits
Fact is IPhone11 is well optimized so I don't feel the Reno2 beats it
Fact again is iPhone 6 or latter still beats some mid range Android produced even as at now
Like I said My opinion
If you don't like it
Walk away
