Premium Look with Sleight of Hand Refinements

The Reno 14 Pro will initially seem like the last one, but the slight adjustments make it feel more premium. The flat frame stays on, but Oppo has utilized 100% recycled aluminum to give it a higher premium feel. The rear camera module is wider now, helping towards a new look. It is available in two fashionable colors, Pearl White with a gradient finish and the classy Titanium Grey. The phone is one of the thinnest and lightest in its segment, with a mere 7.48mm thickness and 201 grams weight.

Improved Toughness with Velvet Glass and IP Ratings

Oppo brings in its Velvet Glass rear panel with this model, providing a smooth and luxurious touch to the hand. One would hardly believe that Reno 14 Pro is rated IP66, IP68, and IP69, highly water and dust-resistant. For those who care for ruggedness and build, this phone sets a new benchmark.

Stunning Display with AMOLED Brilliance

The Reno 14 Pro features a 6.83-inch 1.5K LTPS OLED screen, which features a sharp resolution of 1272 x 2800 pixels. The phone also has a 120Hz dynamic refresh rate, 240Hz touch sampling, HDR10+ certification, and 3840Hz PWM dimming. With 1,200 nits peak brightness and Gorilla Glass 7i protection, the screen is bright and kind to the eyes, a boon for binge-watchers and gamers.

Triple 50MP Cameras Provide Flexible Photography

One of the most significant improvements is the camera configuration. The Reno 14 Pro has a triple 50MP rear camera module, main, telephoto (3.5x optical zoom), and ultra-wide (116° FoV), all supported by OIS. The front also gets a 50MP sensor for selfies. A new triple-flash system and a number of AI camera features such as AI Perfect Shot, AI Recompose, and AI Unblur further contribute to its allure.

Performance Tested with MediaTek Dimensity 8450

The MediaTek Dimensity 8450 chip powers the smartphone, with 12GB RAM and a storage capacity of up to 512GB. The phone also introduces gaming-focused features such as AI Game Highlights and Game Capture. There’s also a dual-layered AI-powered cooling technology that promises smooth performance even with prolonged use, thanks to vapor chambers, aluminum oxide, and graphite.

AI Features and Custom OS Tweaks

Based on ColorOS 15, the Reno 14 Pro is full of AI features AI Translate, AI VoiceScribe, AI Call Assistant, and others. Oppo has also launched Gemini Live and O+ Connect features, which are meant to improve user connectivity and productivity.

Huge Battery and Quick Charging Options

Powering it all is a 6,200mAh battery, the biggest in any Reno smartphone. It accepts 80W wired SuperVOOC charging and 50W AirVOOC wireless charging. So there is less waiting and more doing for those who like to power up.

Verdict: A Fashionable Choice with Balanced Specifications

The Oppo Reno 14 Pro is a strong contender with its beautiful looks, capable camera setup, and AI-stuffed software. But pitted against the competition from the iQOO 13 or OnePlus 13s, there may be some users who feel the chipset falls short. Nevertheless, for those who care about the looks, camera, and battery, this phone is well worth trying out. Keep an eye on the full review to find out how it performs in action.
