Oppo Reno14 F Star Wars Dark Side Edition was Designed to be a Sith Lord’s Smartphone

Oppo has just launched the Reno14 F Star Wars Dark Side Limited Edition, a smartphone that draws enthusiasts directly into the Empire’s clutches. This version takes the sturdy Reno14 F midranger and surrounds it in Darth Vader’s dark shadow, along with a slew of extras that transform a standard phone into a must have collector’s item.

Darth Vader himself gives you a frigid glare from the rear of the phone’s raised, shiny relief panel, which glints just so. That dark grey body transforms into a red power button, an homage to the legendary lightsabers buzzing away.The Star Wars emblem and Oppo’s branding are opposite each other, carefully carved in high-quality to feel smooth and snappy in your hand. To top it all off, this limited edition beauty comes in a Death Star II box with gold trim and a unique serial number, indicating that it is one of a kind.

The phone’s internal components are identical to those of the normal model. A mid-range Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor breezes through your daily work, with 12GB of RAM and a generous 256GB of storage for your programs, photos, and the occasional demanding game. The 6.57-inch AMOLED display is amazing, with a resolution of 2372 by 1080 pixels, refreshing at a smooth 120Hz, and delivering 1400 nits of brightness, which is plenty of light to cut through the sunshine. The camera setup includes a 50MP main shooter for clear as day shots, an 8MP ultrawide for larger subjects, and a 32MP front lens for attractive selfies. To keep everything going for a long time, a 6000mAh battery has been included, which is recharged at a rapid 45W rate. And, for good measure, IP68 dust and water resistance ensures that a splash or spill will not ruin the enjoyment.


Wallpapers bring up famous scenes, and animations give an imperial touch to unlocks and transitions, allowing the Star Wars theme to permeate the operating system without overwhelming the basics. Voice cues and quick settings draw inspiration from the series for when you need a reminder to swipe, and it all adds up to a series of subtle references to fans. The camera app has a few filters that overlay some AR effects, allowing you to pose with a holographic Vader or a floating lightsaber. Even with all of its Star Wars goods, the phone continues to function normally, due to a clean OS and a familiar Android 14 UI.


And then there are the accessories, which are all put together in that big box to make this a collector’s dream come true. You receive a Darth Vader keychain, a pendant-shaped SIM ejector pin, and, most likely, the star of the show: a small Death Star stand to prop up your phone for easier viewing, its battle-scarred surface providing a glimpse into all the epic space battles that have taken place. To top it all off, you receive a 45W charger with a matching cable.
In terms of price, expect it to be slightly more expensive than the standard model, though the exact amount is unknown. We understand that it will cost more in Mexico, but not by much. Availability is now limited to Mexico, although there are reports that it may expand to Southeast Asia and Europe in the near future.
