OPPO Reno14 Series Shines with Iridescent Mermaid Design and Premium Craftsmanship
OPPO Reno14 Series channels the ‘Mermaidcore’ trend with its Iridescent Mermaid Design, blending shimmering artistry and precision engineering into a stunning, powerful device.
- Iridescent Glow Mastery: OPPO debuts its industry-first Iridescent Glow Process with 12 ultra-thin layers and microscopic polishing for a shifting spectrum of colors.
- Unibody Glass Precision: The One-piece Sculpted Glass design offers seamless elegance, aerospace-grade durability, and IP66, IP68, and IP69 water protection.
- Velvet Glass Comfort: A unique glass finishing innovation that delivers a warm, silky, fingerprint-resistant texture inspired by fine velvet fabric.
Diving into the vibrant world of smartphone design, the OPPO Reno14 Series takes inspiration from the global “Mermaidcore” trend to fuse fashion-forward aesthetics with cutting-edge craftsmanship. More than just devices, these phones are designed as stylish companions that elevate everyday moments, blending shimmering artistry with engineering precision.
The new Iridescent Mermaid Design is not just an aesthetic statement but also a technical breakthrough. It embodies OPPO’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of material innovation, creating a phone that is as stunning to hold as it is powerful to use.
The Iridescent Glow Process: Painting with Light and Color
OPPO has introduced the industry’s first Iridescent Glow Process, making the Reno14 Series truly one of a kind. This design achievement involves stacking twelve ultra-thin layers—twice as many as in the previous generation—to create a prismatic finish that shifts and sparkles with movement.
The craftsmanship doesn’t stop at layering. Each back panel undergoes five rounds of microscopic polishing to form textures just 20 microns wide, thinner than a third of a human hair. This fine detailing results in a breathtaking spectrum of hues that seems alive under different angles of light.
Complementing the back panel is the new Gradient Aura Design on the camera module. This design choice softens the presence of the camera visually, making it feel like a natural part of the overall look rather than a separate, protruding component. The result is a light, harmonious finish that resonates with the playful elegance of the Mermaidcore aesthetic.
The Iridescent Mermaid Design and Gradient Aura Design are available on the Opal White Reno14 5G and Reno14 Pro 5G, as well as the Opal Blue Reno14 F 5G.
One-piece Sculpted Glass: Seamless Form Meets Resilient Function
The Reno14 and Reno14 Pro take unibody design to the next level with the One-piece Sculpted Glass back. Created from a single, solid piece of glass, the structure flows seamlessly from the back cover into the camera module with no visible joints.
The process behind this unibody marvel involves 65 separate manufacturing steps, taking twice as long as traditional smartphone glass production. It starts with a thick glass slab, which is carefully carved using high-precision CNC machining. The camera housing remains part of the same glass piece, ensuring a smooth transition and increased structural integrity.
Once shaped, the glass undergoes etching, grinding, and chemical strengthening to ensure durability. This is then paired with an aerospace-grade aluminum frame for maximum resilience. The result is a phone that boasts IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings, meaning it can withstand everything from dust to high-pressure water.
This durability enables a standout feature: Underwater Photography. Users can capture photos and shoot 4K videos underwater without the need for a separate waterproof case, making it perfect for poolside fun or snorkeling adventures.
Velvet Glass: Redefining the Sensation of Touch
While most smartphones focus on visuals, OPPO has gone further by innovating in the tactile experience. Velvet Glass is the brand’s latest finish, delivering a warm, silky feel that’s unlike the cold, hard sensation of conventional glass.
This unique touch is created by etching over 10 million micro-crystals—each around 15 micrometers in size—onto the surface. A specially developed chemical polishing process then shapes the boundaries of these crystals into a coral-like structure. This intricate texture resists fingerprints and adds a subtle softness to every interaction.
Perfecting this finish was no easy feat. OPPO’s team spent over 100 days fine-tuning the formula, running 30 rounds of testing, and adjusting the chemical blend 10 times until they achieved the desired effect. The result is a surface that feels luxurious and natural, making the phone a pleasure to hold for extended periods.
Velvet Glass is featured on the Opal White Reno14 5G and Reno14 Pro 5G, adding to the visual and tactile harmony of the series.
The OPPO Reno14 Series with Iridescent Mermaid Design is a celebration of both artistry and engineering. By combining the shimmering depth of the Iridescent Glow Process, the seamless structure of One-piece Sculpted Glass, and the unique comfort of Velvet Glass, OPPO has created a device that doesn’t just meet the demands of modern smartphone users but delights them with every glance and touch.
This fusion of style and durability makes the Reno14 Series not just a phone, but a statement piece for anyone who values beauty and resilience in equal measure. Whether it’s capturing memories underwater, showing off its mesmerizing color shifts, or simply feeling its velvet-like surface, the Reno14 turns every moment into something extraordinary.
For those who see their smartphone as both a tool and a part of their personal expression, the Reno14 Series is a perfect match—an elegant companion ready to take on both the everyday and the exceptional.
