The new OPPO Reno14 Series is making its global debut. Following months of anticipation, the trio of stylish, feature-packed smartphones is coming to several markets across Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America this month. Leading the lineup is the OPPO Reno14 5G — a device that blends premium hardware and advanced AI software into a package that costs noticeably less than flagship products.

With its slim aluminum design, large 120Hz OLED display, and a camera setup that includes a periscope telephoto lens — something even the iPhone 16 doesn’t offer — the Reno14 5G is built to stand out. It’s also one of the first OPPO phones to feature deep integration with Google Gemini, putting a wide range of AI tools at users’ fingertips.

With flagship-level specs at mid-range pricing, the likes of Apple and Samsung are about to get a serious challenger.

Practical AI from day one Artificial intelligence is becoming one of the most essential features in modern smartphones, and the Reno14 5G doesn’t just include it — it puts it front and center. Backed by OPPO’s own AI platform and deep integration with Google Gemini, the phone offers a wide range of features that are fully functional right out of the box.

That stands in contrast to the iPhone 16, where many of the Apple Intelligence features are still scheduled to arrive in future software updates. While Apple has teased some powerful tools, the Reno14 5G brings its full AI suite to users right out of the box, with no special configuration or waiting period.

Gemini plays a key role here, not just acting as a voice assistant but also integrating with apps like OPPO Notes and YouTube. Users can, for instance, extract steps from a video tutorial and instantly organize them into a checklist — something that would currently require more manual effort on other platforms.

The Reno14 5G also debuts AI VoiceScribe, which can transcribe, translate, and summarize conversations across popular messaging apps and video platforms. Whether it’s a call on WhatsApp or a video conference on Google Meet, the tool supports real-time processing and multilingual support. iPhone users will likely need to rely on third-party apps or future updates for similar capabilities.
