My Thoughts:

I upgraded to the Reno 2Z from my old OnePlus 5T and so it was quit a big upgrade for me: bigger Display, longer battery life, better overall better performance. It is really snappy in day to day use, Apps are opened and loaded nearly instantly and Web Browsing is a breece with its 8 GB of Ram. I like the 6.53" Amoled display because it's a lot of fun to consume content on this device and the speakers sound decent. The under display fingerprint reader is pretty fast and quiet impressive to use imo. Camera makes good quality photos of my doggos with it's 48MP main so I'm happy about that. The PopUp Selfie cam is nice to have and makes decent Selfies in well lit conditions, also it's handy to use the Selfie cam to look behind a monitor or table to plug something in. 20W VOOC Charging is cool: 1% to 100% in just an hour and no it doesn't get hot while charging (not even with case on). I always have it charged to 100% in the morning and I use it quite a lot throughout the day and I still have about 60% when I get home in the evening. So this is a phone you can easily use two days without having to charge it. I very rarely use the Headphone jack or expandable microSD slot but it's definitely nice to still see it around on a budget phone. ColorOS is a lightweight launcher and easy to adjust it for your liking. I really like the built in Currency converter in the calculator App. Color OS 7 with Android 10 will come soon and one of the features I'm stoked for is a system wide Dark Mode which will make its already amazing battery life even better. So yeah, I like this phone and I can recommend it to anyone who needs a new android phone and doesn't want to spend x amount.
