The OPPO Reno series has undergone a remarkable transformation since its debut in 2019. Known for its stylish design, innovative camera setups, and youth-centric features, Reno phones have become a staple in the mid-premium Android space. With the launch of the OPPO Reno14 series in 2025, it’s time to look back at how far the Reno lineup has come.
Reno 10x Zoom (2019): The Bold Beginning
The first Reno device, the OPPO Reno 10x Zoom, made headlines with its shark-fin pop-up camera and periscope zoom technology — a first in its segment. It combined sleek design with high-end optics and Snapdragon 855 power, instantly setting the tone for the Reno brand as a premium yet experimental line.
Reno2 to Reno4 Series (2019–2020): Design Overhaul and Video Focus
Between 2019 and 2020, the Reno series shifted focus toward design and video content creation. The Reno2 introduced quad cameras, while Reno3 and Reno4 embraced sleeker profiles, AMOLED displays, and better night video capabilities. The pop-up camera began fading, replaced by punch-hole designs to streamline the look.
Reno5 to Reno7 Series (2021–2022): AI Enhancements and 5G Rollout
As 5G networks emerged, the Reno5, Reno6, and Reno7 series brought AI-enhanced camera features, 5G chipsets, and color-shifting backs. The phones started using MediaTek Dimensity and Snapdragon 700 series processors, striking a balance between performance and affordability.
Portrait modes, AI beautification, and bokeh flare videos became central to OPPO’s youth-focused marketing.
Reno8 to Reno10 Series (2022–2023): Flagship Feel Without the Flagship Price
The Reno8 to Reno10 models brought the series closer to flagship territory, offering glass bodies, 80W fast charging, and Sony IMX766 sensors. OPPO also emphasized camera co-engineering with MariSilicon X NPU to improve low-light imaging and video performance. These models began to cater to creators, vloggers, and social media users more than ever.
Reno11 to Reno13 (2024): Refinement and Ecosystem Integration
By 2024, OPPO had established the Reno series as a mid-premium lifestyle device. The focus shifted to slimmer profiles, better haptics, higher refresh-rate displays, and tighter integration with OPPO’s AIoT ecosystem — including smartwatches and earbuds.
The Reno13 introduced AI-powered battery optimization, smart AOD, and faster Android updates via ColorOS 13.
Reno14 Series (2025): AI Brilliance, Massive Battery, and Premium Selfies
With the launch of Reno14 and Reno14 Pro, OPPO has redefined the Reno DNA. The phones now offer:
- Up to 12GB RAM and 6200mAh battery
- 50MP AI-enhanced selfie cameras
- Custom AI models for summarizing, translation, and smart calling
- Dimensity 9200+ or Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipsets
- 100W SuperVOOC fast charging
OPPO has positioned the Reno14 Pro as a creator-first phone with portrait studio features, cinematic modes, and deep AI enhancements, cementing the Reno series as the perfect mix of style, smarts, and substance.
Conclusion: The OPPO Reno journey from 2019 to 2025 reflects a shift from bold design experiments to intelligent, creator-centric smartphones. Each generation brought meaningful upgrades — from pop-up cameras and 10x zoom to AI personalization and premium battery tech. With Reno14, OPPO continues to push the envelope in what mid-premium smartphones can deliver.
