Oppo Reno 14 Series Lands in India: Stylish Features Under ₹40,000
If you’ve been hunting for a stylish, camera-focused smartphone under ₹40,000, well—you might want to sit down for this. Oppo has just launched its all-new Reno 14 Series in India, and honestly, it looks quite promising for folks who love good photos and a sleek design without stretching their budget.
Now, let’s break it down.
Meet the New Line-Up: Reno 14 Pro and Reno 14 5G
Oppo introduced two phones in the Reno 14 family:
- Oppo Reno 14 Pro 5G
- Oppo Reno 14 5G
Both models are priced under ₹40,000, which makes them stand comfortably in the mid-range segment that most of us prefer—good features, trusted brand, and not too heavy on the pocket.
First Impressions: Sleek and Feature-Packed
To be honest, both phones look pretty premium. The design is neat, modern, and just feels smooth—like something more expensive than it actually is. That’s something Oppo has always been good at, right?
And if you’re someone who loves taking photos or shooting videos for social media or reels, this device might just click with you (pun intended).
Let’s Talk Price—Because That’s Always the First Question
Here’s what the Oppo Reno 14 series in India is priced at:
- Reno 14 Pro 5G: ₹39,999 (for the 12GB RAM + 256GB variant)
- Reno 14 5G: ₹27,999 (for the 8GB RAM + 128GB variant)
Honestly, it’s well within the range of many buyers who want flagship-ish features without paying the flagship price.
Camera Details: The Real Highlight of the Show
If there’s one thing Oppo really focuses on—it’s the cameras. And with the Reno 14 Series, they’ve brought in some polished camera specs.
- Reno 14 Pro 5G: 50MP Sony LYT-600 primary camera (with OIS), 8MP ultra-wide lens, and 50MP telephoto camera
- Selfie Camera: Both phones feature a crystal-clear 50MP front camera for selfies and video calls
That 50MP telephoto lens is a nice touch. It’s not something you usually see at this price, and for Zoom shots and portraits, it’s a very handy addition.
Plus, it’s got Oppo’s custom HyperTone Image Engine, which is meant to boost image clarity and consistency. So, your photos won’t come out too blurry or too dull—even in tricky lighting.
Display: Looks that Feel Smooth
Both phones bring a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a punch-hole design. It’s vibrant, colourful and smooth thanks to the 120Hz refresh rate.
What does that mean for you in simple terms? Scrolling feels buttery. Whether you’re swiping through Instagram, playing games, or binge-watching on Netflix—it’ll look fluid and less choppy.
Performance: Can It Keep Up With You?
Oh yes, let’s get to the processor bits—because who wants a pretty phone that lags, right?
- Reno 14 Pro 5G runs on MediaTek Dimensity 9200+ processor
- Reno 14 5G has a MediaTek Dimensity 7300-Energy chipset
Now, in daily usage, both chips should handle most things effortlessly. Whether it’s multitasking, gaming, or streaming. The Pro version obviously packs more power and is suited for heavy-duty users or gamers.
Also, just FYI—Oppo says their chipset in the Pro model has beaten other competitors in the same segment in AnTuTu benchmark scores. That’s kind of like bragging rights for performance.
Battery & Charging: Packed With Speed
Another area that makes these devices quite user-friendly is the fast charging.
- Both models come with a 5,000mAh battery—so you’re easily covered for all-day use.
- The Reno 14 Pro has 80W SuperVOOC fast charging—which, honestly, is nuts. You can probably go from 0 to 100% in under 40 minutes.
For comparison, phones like the Pixel 7 or even some Samsung phones in this price range usually max out at 30W or 45W charging. So yes, Oppo definitely leads here.
Software: AI-Powered and Feature-Loaded
Out of the box, both models run on ColorOS 14.0 based on Android 14. These days, features like AI photo editing and security enhancements are standard, but Oppo has added a few more goodies.
Some newer features include:
- AI Record Summary – Automatically creates notes and highlights during voice recordings
- AI Eraser – Helps you remove unwanted objects or people from the background of photos
Honestly, that AI eraser is a godsend. Ever clicked a great photo only to realize there’s an awkward stranger in the background? Yeah, now you can just erase them away, that too in a tap.
Oppo Reno 14 Series: Should You Buy It?
So here’s the big question—who should buy these phones?
If you’re someone who:
- Loves taking photos and wants a capable camera system
- Uses the phone for streaming, scrolling, gaming, and all sorts of multitasking
- Needs fast charging and reliable battery life
- Wants a premium-looking phone without spending ₹60K+
Then yes, the Reno 14 Pro 5G definitely makes a solid case for itself. The regular Reno 14 is also quite good, especially for casual users who don’t need that extra zoom or processing power.
