We took the Oppo Reno 14 5G underwater — here’s what happened

Oppo just dropped the Reno 14 5G in India, and it’s clearly gunning for shutterbugs who want flagship-grade photos without paying flagship prices. It’s compact, stylish, and loaded with camera smarts that punch way above its weight.

Rear cameras that actually impress

The Reno 14 5G packs a triple-camera setup with a 50MP main, an 8MP ultra-wide, and a 50MP 3.5x telephoto lens. And from what we’ve seen so far, this combo delivers. The main camera churns out crisp, detailed shots with punchy colours and natural skin tones. Even tricky shots—like the ones underwater—look surprisingly clean and well-balanced.

The ultra-wide might only be 8MP, but it holds up with solid colour science and decent contrast. Meanwhile, the telephoto lens brings some serious versatility to this price range, giving you zoomed-in shots without the usual quality drop.

AI tricks that aren’t just gimmicks

Oppo’s loading up on AI features too—things like AI Flash Photography, AI Best Face, and AI Studio add a layer of ease and creativity to your shots. You even get AI Style Transfer and Recompose tools that make photo editing feel kind of fun again.

Front cam and video chops

On the front, there’s a 50MP selfie cam that holds its own with rich detail and vibrant colours. And if you shoot a lot of video, you’ll be happy to know the Reno 14 5G records in 4K 60fps—on both front and rear cameras. That’s rare at this price.

The Oppo Reno 14 5G starts at ₹37,999 and goes up to ₹42,999. First sale is July 8 via Flipkart and retail stores.
