July 07, 2025: If you’re eyeing a premium smartphone around ₹55,000, the newly launched Oppo Reno 14 Pro and the compact flagship OnePlus 13s both offer tempting options — but which one deserves your money?

Design & Display:
Both phones sport a modern look with square camera modules and curved edges, but the Oppo Reno 14 Pro stands out with its glossy rear finish and an extra camera. It also offers superior water resistance with an IP68 rating (vs IP65 on the OnePlus 13s) despite being slightly cheaper. Display-wise, the Oppo Reno 14 Pro has a larger 6.83-inch AMOLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate and 1200 nits peak brightness. Meanwhile, the OnePlus 13s packs a smaller but sharper 6.32-inch LTPO AMOLED panel with the same 120Hz refresh but brighter 1600 nits peak brightness.

Camera:
Photography enthusiasts may lean towards the Oppo Reno 14 Pro’s versatile triple camera system: a 50MP main sensor, 50MP ultrawide, and a 50MP periscope telephoto lens offering 3x optical zoom. The front-facing camera is an impressive 50MP shooter.
In contrast, the OnePlus 13s features a simpler dual camera setup: 50MP main + 50MP telephoto with 2x zoom, and a 32MP selfie camera — competent but less versatile than Oppo’s offering.
