REVIEW: “I Didn’t Think I Needed A New Phone Until I Tried OPPO’s Reno14”

Imagine a phone that captures breathtaking pictures at night, helps to complete daily tasks with a single voice command AND has a longggggg battery life…sounds unreal doesn’t it? But hang on a minute! I got hold of OPPO’s recently launched Reno14 Series and let’s just say – it’s too good to be true.

The Reno14 Series is undoubtedly a notch up from the Reno13 lineup

It ticks all the right boxes — but what stands out is its AI-powered imaging feature, Iridescent Mermaid Design, amazing camera quality, and improved mobile productivity.

It is the upgrade I seriously did not know I needed!

And safe to say, it’s worth the hype!

  • The ‘AI Flash Night Photography’ captures picture-perfect shots by night
  • The ‘Live Photo’ capture quality is one I have never seen before — pure goals!
  • The ‘UnderWater Photography Mode’ in the OPPO Reno14F 5G is the ultimate showstopper, meaning I don’t need a waterproof case when shooting content (even videos up to 4K resolution!)
  • The ColorOS 15 is screaming “user-friendly”, with five major upgrades and six years of security for lasting efficiency.
  • With the inclusion of Gemini AI, I found small tasks to be seamless with simple voice commands — a blessing in disguise for hectic days at the office and at home.

But, just a heads up! I discovered the underwater photography feature can only be used in fresh water at depths of up to two metres for a maximum of 30 minutes. Happy filming folks!

To celebrate the launch, OPPO is offering an exclusive trade-in promotion from August 1st to 17th, 2025. Customers trading in their old smartphones will receive an additional AED 200 on top of the assessed trade-in value when purchasing any device from the Reno14 Series.

Offer is available for a limited time, exclusively at participating retailers across the UAE, including Sharaf DG, Emax, and Jumbo Electronics.

I found the communication to be smooth and seamless…

The AI Voicescribe feature offers real-time translations, subtitles and summaries for videos, meetings and audio-video calls. In a nutshell, communication via popular messaging and meeting apps including Google Meet, Teams and Skype, has been made a lot easier too. And then I stumbled upon another surprise after discovering the AI Translate app!

So, hear it from me: It’s time for everyone to hop onto the bandwagon…
