Design and Display
The OnePlus 14 feels premium from the moment you pick it up. OnePlus has trimmed the bezels, and the display gets bright enough to read comfortably under direct summer sun. Colors are vivid without being oversaturated, and scrolling is buttery smooth thanks to the adaptive refresh rate.
Camera Performance
We shot hundreds of photos with the OnePlus 14 in daylight, at night and indoors. Daylight images are sharp with natural skin tones, while night mode pulls out impressive detail without making scenes look artificial. Video is stable enough for handheld vlogging.
Performance and Battery Life
Apps open instantly and demanding games run at high frame rates without noticeable throttling. In our standardized battery test, the OnePlus 14 comfortably lasted a full day of heavy use, with enough left over for the commute home.
