In a world where many smartphones are overpriced yet underdeliver, the OPPO Reno14 5G proves you don’t need to break the bank to experience flagship-grade innovation. Priced under ₹40K, it continues the legacy of the Reno Series while offering meaningful upgrades that truly elevate your daily smartphone experience. From AI-powered photography to immersive gaming and an incredibly durable design, this phone delivers on every front.

Here’s why it's a fantastic phone, which you can buy under ₹40K.

1. Capture every detail with AI camera and 3.5x telephoto zoom

If you love mobile photography, the Reno14 5G is designed to impress. It features a 50MP main, 8MP ultra-wide, and 50MP telephoto lens with 3.5x optical zoom, giving you professional-level versatility. It even has a 50MP front shooter, for all those perfect selfies. The primary lens uses an OmniVision OV50E 1.55-inch sensor with OIS, meaning sharp, blur-free images, even when you’re on the move. Whether you're snapping sunsets or cityscapes, the upgraded 116° FOV on the ultra-wide camera ensures no detail is missed.

The Triple Flash Array (with dedicated LEDs for each lens) delivers stunning low-light shots, especially at night. And thanks to lossless 3.5x optical zoom combined with AI Telephoto and up to 120x digital zoom, distant subjects come out crisp and full of depth. Even the portraits are perfectly managed as the lens compresses the distance between the background and the subject perfectly.

2. Edit like a pro with the built-in AI Editor 2.0

No need to download third-party apps anymore—OPPO’s AI Editor 2.0 is like having your own editing suite built right into the phone. From auto-cropping and adjusting compositions with AI Recompose to refining expressions using AI Perfect Shot, editing becomes easy and intuitive. Better yet, there are other features like AI Eraser, AI Unblur, AI Reflection Remover and AI Studio, which have been further upgraded.

3. Looks that impress

Design lovers, rejoice. The OPPO Reno14 is available in two beautiful colours- Forest Green and Pearl White. The back of the Pearl white variant comes with an industry-first one-piece sculpted velvet glass, for a smooth silky texture. The final effect is a mesmerising iridescent-glow effect that shimmers with every move, making your phone a kaleidoscope of subtle colours.

This is crafted using a cold-sculpting process that involves 65 precise steps. Compared to conventional methods, it takes 100% more engraving time (from 9 to 18 minutes) and 50% more polishing time (from 4,000 to 6,000 seconds) but results in a back that remains fingerprint-free. The Forest Green variant, on the other hand, sets an industry benchmark for the luminous loop deco, a soft lighting effect around the camera deco.

4. Built to withstand the unexpected

The device’s design is not just beautiful to look at, but it’s durable as well. Thanks to a recyclable aerospace-grade aluminium frame, the phone is not just premium; it’s 36% more durable too. The frame also makes it possible to encase the phone in ultra-slim bezels, giving it a premium feel.

OPPO’s internal sponge armour, inspired by sea sponges, protects your device from sudden shocks, absorbing impact and keeping it safe despite rough use. A special ultra-thin vapour chamber with nano-sized alumina keeps the phone heat-resistant and cool despite heavy use.

Furthermore, the magic trio of IP66, IP68, and IP69 work together to keep the smartphone waterproof and dustproof. You can even enjoy pool parties or marvel at the diversity of marine life as you snap without hesitation because the phone also supports underwater photography without a waterproof case.

5. A display that delivers

The Reno14 5G sports a stunning 6.59-inch AMOLED display with a 93.4% screen-to-body ratio and a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. With up to 1200nits peak brightness, it makes text, videos, or social media scrolling perfect. The adaptive brightness ensures visuals stay bright even under harsh sunlight or outdoor conditions. Glove-touch support makes it easy to swipe or text in colder climates without freezing your fingers.

The display is built for extended viewing with 3840Hz PWM dimming, low blue light filtering, and HDR10+ support. It’s also certified for HD playback on Netflix and Amazon Prime right out of the box.

6. Multitasking powerhouse

At the heart of the Reno14 5G is the 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 8350 chip, built on an All Big Core Cortex-A715 architecture. All eight CPU cores run on high-performance Arm Cortex-A715 technology, reaching speeds of up to 3.35GHz. This delivers a 13% boost in multi-core peak performance while cutting power consumption by up to 30%—so you get more power without draining your battery.

Graphics are handled by the 6-core Mali-G615 GPU, offering a 60% improvement in peak performance and a 55% drop in power usage, making everything from gaming to video rendering smoother and more efficient. Supporting it all is the NPU 780, a dedicated AI processor with a generative AI engine that enhances overall performance by 3.3 times. Whether you're multitasking, editing videos, or using AI tools, the Reno14 5G keeps up—effortlessly.

The phone runs on ColorOS 15 (based on Android 15) which provides you a Smart, Smooth and Secure experience. The device packs powerful AI tools to simplify your daily tasks. AI Mindshare neatly organises screenshots and notes into a searchable timeline. AI VoiceScribe offers real-time transcription and summaries of calls and meetings. AI Call Translate enables live translation during calls in supported apps.

7. Immersive gaming experience

The OPPO Reno14 5G is built for smooth, lag-free gaming, even during long sessions. The AI Adaptive Frame Booster uses smart GPU computing to add extra frames between original ones, doubling the frame rate for ultra-smooth visuals while saving battery. Combined with AI HyperBoost 2.0, this delivers a responsive and immersive gaming experience.

AI Game Highlights automatically detects key in-game moments and helps you edit short clips with ready-made templates. With Game Capture, you can record 15 or 30-second battle videos or take 3-second Livephotos instead of still photos, without draining your battery. Features like Footstep Sound Boost enhance directional audio in shooter games, and Silent Launch lets you open games quietly in public spaces.
