Oppo Reno14 5G brings a harmonious experience with a slim and light design, a camera that works stably in many conditions, good performance and battery life. At the same time, the device is also fully equipped with AI features to support working and editing images.
However, the device will not be suitable for users who value the quality of the ultra-wide-angle camera. In addition, the fingerprint sensor is quite low, which can also cause inconvenience for daily use. At the same time, the product will also be under no small pressure from high-end competitors after price reductions such as the iPhone 16 or Samsung Galaxy S24.
Design and display
The overall appearance of the Reno14 5G is almost unchanged from the previous version that Oppo introduced at the beginning of the year. The device has a minimalist design with a flat beveled metal frame, providing a solid grip experience.
The back of the Reno14 5G has a matte finish, which helps to reduce fingerprints during use. In addition, the back of the white version is also stylized with a multi-colored fishtail pattern, creating a floating effect and can change color depending on the viewing angle.
The device is processed and quite finished meticulously, approaching the quality of high-end phone models. The details of the joints between the glass back and the metal frame are finished seamlessly and without any unnecessary details.
The device is 7.42mm thin and weighs 187g. The four corners of the device are also evenly curved, combined with its compact size, providing a comfortable grip experience even when used with one hand for a long time.
The Reno14 5G's screen is 6.59 inches in size, using an AMOLED panel with a resolution of 1.5K and a refresh rate of 120Hz. The display quality of this screen is relatively good, with vibrant colors, deep blacks, wide viewing angles and can be easily used outdoors.
The plus point is that the screen border is thinned evenly on all four sides, providing a wide display space with good visual effects. The device also integrates a fingerprint sensor under the screen. The fingerprint provides fast and accurate recognition, but the sensor's location is quite low, making it not really convenient to use.
The device also meets IP66, IP68 and IP69 water and dust resistance standards, allowing users to use the product with peace of mind in a variety of conditions. In addition, the device's screen also supports touch even when wet or wearing gloves.
Camera and AI features
Compared to its predecessor, the Reno14 5G has many valuable improvements in terms of camera. The device is equipped with a 3-camera system, including a 50MP main lens supporting OIS optical anti-shake technology, a 50MP telephoto lens that allows 3.5x optical zoom and an 8MP super wide-angle lens.
Testing photos in many different usage conditions, the image quality from this camera system is relatively stable and brings a good experience in terms of detail, color and contrast.
Below are some photos taken at different zoom levels of 0.6x, 1x, 2x, 3.5x, 7x, 20x and 120x. These photos were taken early in the morning when the sun was not yet up and the sky was covered with clouds.
The image of the sky with dense small clouds is reproduced prominently, with natural colors. Details such as ripples on the water surface are also fully reproduced, without being flat.
Although the telephoto camera only supports 3.5x optical zoom, the device still allows users to take pictures with a maximum zoom level of up to 120x by combining camera hardware with the AI system.
However, image detail and color are best maintained when shooting at 7x zoom or lower. At higher zoom levels such as 20x or 120x, image detail is significantly reduced and colors are also flattered.
One drawback is that the device's ultra-wide-angle lens only has an 8MP resolution. Under the same lighting conditions, photos taken from the ultra-wide-angle lens have paler colors, and the level of detail and contrast is also significantly lower than that of the main camera.
With close-up photos of flowers, the main camera of the device has the ability to focus quickly and accurately. The subject is highlighted more clearly than the background. Details of color, veins on the petals or spider silk are all reproduced accurately compared to reality.
The camera also has good image processing capabilities in low light conditions. The colors are reproduced naturally, the images are clear, and not flat. Street lights and signs are also well processed, without causing glare and loss of detail.
For portrait mode, Oppo Reno14 5G supports 3 different zoom levels including 1x, 2x and 3.5x, corresponding to focal lengths of 26mm, 50mm and 85mm. Users can switch between focal lengths depending on the scene and usage needs.
Tested in bright conditions and complex backgrounds, the camera system on Reno14 5G can accurately identify the subject, blurring the background naturally. The details on the face, skin color and hair are all processed harmoniously, without being blurred when blurring the background.
With more complex conditions when taking portrait photos in backlit conditions, the camera still provides good balance. The background is not overexposed, while the subject and face are still bright enough, with clear details and natural colors.
In addition, Reno14 5G also integrates a set of AI tools to support image editing. The AI Recreate feature helps recompose the photo in the appropriate aspect ratio and provides color filter suggestions. Meanwhile, the AI Perfect Shot feature can recognize closed-eye portrait photos and support facial retouching.
In addition, the device also supports a series of other editing tools such as AI object removal, AI clarity enhancement, AI face sharpening, AI anti-glare. The device also integrates AI Studio, allowing users to create new images in many different styles from the captured photos.
Performance and battery
Oppo Reno14 5G is equipped with MediaTek Dimensity 8350 5G processor, 12GB RAM and 256/512GB internal memory. Tested with AnTuTu BenchMark performance evaluation software, Oppo Reno14 5G achieved more than 1.36 million points. This number is equivalent to the performance score of some phone models using high-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor.
In actual experience with some popular games such as PUBG Mobile and Lien Quan Mobile, the device can respond stably with 60fps at high graphics settings. The heat emitted is also at a moderate level, not causing discomfort when playing games for nearly two hours continuously.
Meanwhile, with games with more complex graphics like Genshin Impact, the device can also meet the needs of a stable experience at medium-high graphics settings.
The battery that comes with the device has a capacity of 6,000mAh, supporting SuperVOOC fast charging with a capacity of 80W. With normal tasks such as calling, browsing the web, using social networks and playing games, the device can easily meet the needs of 1-2 days of use.
Oppo Reno14 5G is installed with ColorOS 15 platform based on Android 15 operating system similar to the high-end Find X8 product line. Therefore, this model also owns a series of AI features such as AI Summary to summarize article content, AI Speak to support reading text by voice,...
These features help users take full advantage of AI features to optimize their usage and working experience. This also shows that Oppo is ready to compete head-to-head with the Galaxy AI toolkit on Samsung devices.
In addition, Reno14 5G is also equipped with the ability to "communicate" with products in the Apple ecosystem. The device can quickly share images and videos with iPhone, similar to the AirDrop feature that Apple integrates on its devices.
In addition, users can also connect Oppo Reno14 5G to MacBook via O+ Connect application to transfer documents, photos, videos. This feature also supports remote access, allowing users to use Reno14 5G to retrieve files on MacBook.
It can be seen that Oppo is continuously expanding the ability to connect its devices to products in the Apple ecosystem. This further demonstrates Oppo's ambition to attract Apple users to experience the company's ecosystem.
Summary
Currently, the mid-high-end segment (VND 15-20 million) in the Vietnamese market has very few options. Most manufacturers often "ignore" this price segment because mid-high-end products always have to face fierce competition from old high-end devices after price reduction.
Oppo's introduction of the Reno14 5G product line also contributes to making the mid-high-end segment more exciting. However, this device will certainly face no small pressure from competitors such as the Xiaomi 14T Pro, iPhone 16 or Samsung Galaxy S24.
Oppo Reno14 5G is like a compact version of the high-end Find X8 model. This model brings a harmonious experience with a thin and light design, a camera that works stably in many conditions, good performance and battery life. At the same time, the device is also fully equipped with AI features to support working and editing images.
However, the device will not be suitable for users who value the quality of the ultra-wide-angle camera, which only has a resolution of 8MP and produces significantly lower image quality than the main camera. In addition, the fingerprint sensor is quite low, which can also cause inconvenience for daily use.
