Best Chinese Android phones (December 2018)

Over the last few years, we've not only seen the number of Chinese OEMs increase dramatically, but their global presence has been expanded. The explosion in Chinese OEMs is due to a few things, but …

Around back is a dual-camera setup comprised of a 48MP Sony IMX586 sensor and 5MP depth sensor. As with other phones, the Reno Z's 48MP camera likely uses pixel binning to combine four pixels into one. The result is a 12MP image that theoretically contains more data than a typical 12MP image.

Under the hood, the Reno Z features the MediaTek Helio P90 processor, 6GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. There's also a version with 8GB of RAM that strangely cuts the storage amount in half, down to 128GB. Keeping the lights on is a 4,035mAh battery that supports Oppo's 20W VOOC 3.0 fast charging standard.

Finally, the Reno Z runs ColorOS 6 on top of Android 9 Pie.

In related news, Oppo today also announced two new colors for the regular Reno: Coral and Inspiration Edition. Coral looks more like a peach orange, so be prepared to get some eyeballs cast your way if you walk around in public with it.

Subjectively, the Inspiration Edition features a more eye-catching design. Clad in a dark blue and purple colorway, the Inspiration Edition color features a litany of doodles and drawings on the back. Some doodles are vertically-arranged on the stripe and given different colors to stand out against the other doodles.

The Reno Z and the new Coral and Inspiration Edition colors for the regular Reno will be available June 6 in China. Oddly enough, the 6GB/256GB and 8GB/128GB versions cost the same 2,499 yuan (~$362). Meanwhile, the Coral and Inspiration Edition variants of the Reno cost 3,299 yuan (~$480).
