The body design are much alike, but this is a bit thicker by 0.5mm and heavier by 4 grams compared to Reno. In some areas, the new Reno 2 shared the same features with the Reno 10x Zoom, most prominently in photography.
The Reno 2 has a larger 6.55-inch Dynamic AMOLED display that is HDR10 certified, but still keep the Gorilla Glass 6 protection. Moreover, it is powered by a more efficient Snapdragon 730G chipset, compared to its predecessor. The Snapdragon 730G is specifically optimized for gaming as its CPUs and GPU are made to deliver faster performance, although this may be hardly noticeable in some games. Game Boost 2.0 software enhancements make sure you get more from the processor when playing games.
