Walia invited Facebook's Sandeep Bhushan on the stage to talk about the partnership. Bhushan talked about how sharing is at the centre of the modern smartphone experience and how influencers are using Instagram for the same. Facebook's Kitty Lun joined the stage after Bhushan to talk about Instagram's partnership with Oppo to promote the new Reno 2 series.

Jithin Abraham, Product Manager, Oppo India, then came to the stage to detail the new Reno 2 series phones. Abraham stated that Reno 2 comes with a quad-camera setup with a 48-megapixel primary shooter. The other cameras in the quad-camera setup include a 13-megapixel secondary camera, an 8-megapixel shooter, and 2-megapixel camera. The Reno 2 comes with 5x hybrid zoom support and 20x digital zoom.

The phone also includes an Ultra Night Mode to help with low-light photography, a portrait mode, and a macro mode. Among the video recording enhancements, Oppo has added Ultra Steady mode with optical as well as electronic image stabilisation. Reno 2 will offer 5x hybrid zoom during the video recording mode as well.

According to Abraham, the Oppo Reno 2 uses a 3D curved Gorilla Glass on the back and features rounded corners. It will be offered in Ocean Blue and Luminous Black colours.

Reno 2 keeps the Shark-fin selfie camera from its predecessor and includes a 16-megapixel front shooter. The phone is powered by octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G SoC, paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of onboard storage.
