As the festive season approaches, smartphone brands are gearing up to add a touch of celebration to their flagship devices. Oppo has introduced a special Reno 14 5G Diwali Edition, exclusive to the Indian market. This edition stands out with its GlowShift heat-sensitive colour-changing technology and an artistic mandala-inspired rear design that embraces Indian culture. While the internals remain identical to the standard Reno 14 5G launched in July 2025, the Diwali Edition brings a new festive identity. Here’s a closer look at its unboxing, design, price, and first impressions.
The Oppo Reno 14 5G Diwali Edition is priced at ₹39,999 for the 8GB RAM + 128GB storage variant. The device is now available across Flipkart, Amazon, OPPO’s e-store, and retail outlets. This edition has been launched exclusively for India to celebrate the festive season, making it a collector’s edition for Oppo fans.
Inside the festive-themed box, the Oppo Reno 14 5G Diwali Edition comes with:
The smartphone itself featuring the new festive rear panel.
An 80W fast charger.
USB Type-C charging cable.
SIM ejector tool.
A black silicone protective case.
While the essentials are well covered, Oppo could have included a quick guide explaining how the GlowShift technology works, as it may seem confusing for first-time users. The packaging overall feels premium and festive, in line with the Diwali edition branding.
The Reno series has always been known for blending design and performance, and the Diwali Edition takes this a step further. The rear panel features intricate mandala art, peacocks, and festive motifs, giving the device a strong cultural identity.
The standout feature here is GlowShift Technology – Oppo’s heat-sensitive colour-changing innovation. At normal or cooler temperatures (below 28°C), the phone stays in a matte black finish. Once the device or your hand temperature rises above 29°C, the mandala art gradually shifts into a glowing gold pattern, becoming fully radiant at 35°C. This interactive design makes the smartphone visually engaging and festive.
The Diwali Edition retains the premium design language of the Reno 14 series with:
A square-shaped rear camera module.
Aluminium frame for durability.
IP66, IP68, and IP69 dust and water resistance ratings.
The festive black-gold variant, called “Diwali Gold”, symbolizes the new moon and light emerging from darkness—perfectly in sync with the spirit of Diwali. Oppo has not compromised on sturdiness, making this a balance between aesthetics and resilience.
The device sports a 6.59-inch LTPS OLED display with 120Hz dynamic refresh rate, offering smooth visuals for gaming and everyday use. Brightness levels are excellent, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor usage.
Under the hood, the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 chipset powers the device, ensuring reliable performance for multitasking, gaming, and content consumption.
The triple rear camera system has been carried over from the standard edition, featuring:
50MP main camera for detailed shots.
50MP telephoto lens with 3.5x zoom for closer captures.
8MP ultra-wide sensor for landscape and group photos.
On the front, users get a high-quality selfie camera (not mentioned in specs, but expected similar to the standard Reno 14 5G). Oppo’s camera software continues to deliver vibrant photography and AI enhancements, making it versatile for festive moments.
The Reno 14 5G Diwali Edition is backed by a massive 6000mAh battery, one of the largest in its category. With 80W fast charging, the phone ensures minimal downtime, making it ideal for users with heavy usage during the festival season.
Conclusion
The Oppo Reno 14 5G Diwali Edition is more than just a smartphone—it’s a festive statement piece. With its GlowShift colour-changing mandala art, cultural motifs, and reliable performance, it perfectly blends technology with tradition. At ₹39,999, it caters to those who want both functionality and a premium festive design.
If you’re looking for a smartphone that celebrates Indian culture while delivering flagship-level features, the Reno 14 5G Diwali Edition is worth considering this festive season.
