Oppo’s Re 10x Zoom was just crazy – crazy good, I mean. company is w following it up with an even crazier Re 2. main USP of Re 2 is its 20x zoom camera capabilities. Re 2 isn’t a Re 10x Zoom successor though. That’s t to say that it is any less capable.     

While Re 10x Zoom used three cameras to achieve golden 10x zoom figure, Re 2 doesn’t have any of that fancy periscope tech. Neir can it optically zoom as much - it can’t zoom as much via a combination of optical and digital eir. It does have more cameras though. And, some killer looks.
