The OPPO Reno14 Series: Fusing Fashion and Cutting-Edge Craftsmanship in the Iridescent Mermaid Design


The OPPO Reno series has always represented more than just technology; it embodies the lifestyle of young people, serving as a companion that inspires you to discover life's beauty and make your moment. Continuing its legacy of design innovation, the all-new Reno14 Series draws its inspiration from the fashion industry, embracing the popular “Mermaidcore” trend to create a device that is a true testament to OPPO's relentless pursuit of style and craftsmanship.

Inspired by the fantasy of mermaids and the serene beauty of the ocean, this aesthetic has swept through global culture as a symbol of freedom, joy, and self-expression. With the Reno14 Series, OPPO captures the shifting shimmer for the first time on a smartphone, pioneering the revolutionary “Iridescent Mermaid Design.”

To bring this vision to life, OPPO has pushed the boundaries of smartphone engineering by innovating across color, material, and finish.


Iridescent Glow Process: Painting with Light and Color

The mesmerizing shimmer of the Iridescent Mermaid Design is achieved through the industry-first Iridescent Glow Process, pioneered by OPPO.

The process involves meticulously stacking twelve different layers—twice the number used in the previous generation. Every layer is engineered to stack perfectly, creating a delicate, colorful, and prismatic finish that truly stands out.

But the innovation goes beyond simply adding layers; the finish undergoes five rounds of precision polishing at a microscopic level. It creates textures as narrow as 20 microns—less than one-third the thickness of a human hair—producing a dazzling spectrum of colors that shift with movement.

Complementing the stunning back cover, the Reno14 Series also debuts the Gradient Aura Design on its camera module. This vibrant, flowing aura softens the visual presence of the camera, resulting in a look that is both harmonious and delightfully light in spirit.

The Iridescent Mermaid Design and Gradient Aura Design are available on the Opal White version of the Reno14 5G and Reno14 Pro 5G, as well as the Opal Blue version of the Reno14 F 5G.


One-piece Sculpted Glass: Seamless Form, Resilient Function

The back of the Reno14 and Reno14 Pro is a marvel of material engineering. Crafted from a single, solid piece of One-piece Sculpted Glass, the body flows seamlessly from the back cover into the camera module with no joints or breaks. The unibody design is the result of a meticulous 65-step process that takes twice as long to complete as conventional methods.

The journey begins with a thick piece of glass, carefully carved down by a high-precision CNC machine to shape the slim back cover while leaving the camera housing as an integral part of the structure. The camera housing is then polished for a seamless transition before the entire piece undergoes a series of crucial transformations—including etching, grinding, and chemical strengthening—to produce the finished, durable unibody glass.

The structure is reinforced with an aerospace-grade aluminum frame, providing exceptional resilience with IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings. Whether facing a casual spill, a dunk in water, or exposure to high-pressure, high-temperature water, both models are engineered to withstand real-life challenges with confidence. The durable build also enables unique features like Underwater Photography, allowing users to capture photos and 4K videos underwater without needing an additional waterproof case.

Velvet Glass: Redefining the Sensation of Touch

Completing the sensory experience, OPPO introduces its latest breakthrough in glass finishing: Velvet Glass. Defying the cold, hard feel typically associated with glass, OPPO’s Velvet Glass offers a warm, soft, and silky texture that feels almost like fine velvet fabric.

The incredible tactile sensation is achieved by etching over 10 million micro-crystals—each only about 15 micrometers in size—onto the glass surface. A customized chemical polishing process then etches the crystal boundaries to create a unique, coral-like structure. It’s this intricate pattern that gives the glass its signature soft, skin-friendly, and fingerprint-resistant touch.

Perfecting the finish was a monumental task, requiring over 100 days of relentless optimization. The process involved refining the chemical formula 10 times and optimizing application parameters through more than 30 rounds of testing.

The result is a finish, featured on the Opal White models of both the Reno14 5G and Reno14 Pro 5G, that transforms every interaction into a moment of subtle comfort and happiness.

A Symphony of Style and Strength

By combining the shimmering colors of the Iridescent Glow Process, the seamless transition of One-piece Sculpted Glass, and the silky touch of Velvet Glass, the OPPO Reno14 Series with Iridescent Mermaid Design sets a new standard for smartphone aesthetics, delivering a device that is both an extension of personal style and a celebration of life's most vibrant moments.

HUAWEI Stays Undefeated on DXOMARK Ranking as HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra Scores Highest-Ever 175 Rating

HUAWEI maintains its position on top of the global imaging podium as the newly launched HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra earns DXOMARK’s highest-ever overall score of 175, a commanding 6 points ahead of the second-ranked device. This triumph is anchored by three historic achievements: a highest-record 180 Photo Score, a record-tying 166 Video Score, and the best-rated telephoto capabilities in DXOMARK's testing.

This milestone affirms HUAWEI’s pursuit of photographic excellence, transforming "exceptional" into "unmatched". Since its global release last July, the HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra has resonated with professional photographers and photography enthusiasts worldwide thanks to its pioneering technologies that bridge laboratory innovation and real-world artistry. As the flagship of HUAWEI’s imaging legacy, HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra redefines the possibilities of smartphone photography.

Redefining Photography with Top-Scoring Excellence

DXOMARK is an established image authority that scores and ranks cameras and camera equipment. Widely trusted by experts, its tests are backed by millions of scientific measurements and perceptual analyses. Earning the highest Photo Score of 180 from DXOMARK reflects HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra’s mastery of light and detail. The 1-inch Ultra Lighting HDR Camera achieves an industry-leading 16EV dynamic range, transforming challenging lighting into captivating narratives. This lets you capture bonfire dancers framed by translucent flames glowing with golden warmth; their shadowed faces retaining intricate, eyelash-sharp detail in a single exposure. Shooting dusk portraits is made effortless, as subjects shine with natural clarity against skies blending into watercolour gradients enabled by intelligent multi-zone exposure mapping.

This 180-score brilliance also excels in portrait photography. Advanced AI segmentation ensures pinpoint precision, rendering stray hair strands, delicate earrings, and intricate accessories with flawless clarity against creamy bokeh backgrounds. Even in candlelit settings, facial textures maintain lifelike dimensionality, and skin tones glow with natural warmth. The variable aperture (f/1.6–f/4.0) offers creative flexibility: for group shots, it intelligently narrows to keep everyone in sharp focus from foreground to background, delivering professional-grade results.


HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra redefines long-range photography with the industry’s first Switchable Dual Telephoto Camera, which earned DXOMARK’s highest telephoto score. By merging 3.7x medium and 9.4x super-telephoto lenses into a single optical unit, it delivers unmatched versatility. Architectural carvings half a kilometre away emerge with DSLR-grade crispness; performers’ sweat-beaded intensity crystallizes from stadium back rows. At 10x+ magnification, where competitors often falter, the HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra captures the Himalayan snowcaps with wind-carved ridges or leopard eyeshine through twilight gloom, still maintaining exceptional color and exposure consistency through advanced optical design and algorithms.

Setting New Benchmarks for Video Mastery

The HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra conquers dynamic extremes with masterful video capabilities that earned a 166 Video Score, a 10-point improvement over its predecessor and ties with the industry’s top score. Its 16EV Ultra Lighting HDR Camera delivers "layered imaging with accurate light and shadow restoration,” transforming backlit portraits into balanced compositions where subjects glow against perfectly graded skies. Bonfire scenes render transparent flame layers alongside detailed shadows, creating immersive visuals. With advanced stabilization that anticipates motion like a cinematic guide, creators can capture everything from stage performances to urban storytelling and produce lifelike visuals while shooting entirely handheld.

The dual-telephoto system extends its excellence to video. An impressive 9.4 magnification and advanced stabilization allows wildlife documentarians to track eagles in flight, capturing every feather’s tremor without handheld shake. Concert videographers isolate drummers’ stick-work from arena back rows, with AI motion tracking maintaining focus through spotlights and pyrotechnic effects. This cinematic versatility ensures vibrant, professional-grade footage across scenarios.

The exceptional photo and video performance owes much to the Ultra Chroma XMAGE camera, which leverages 1.5 million multi-spectral channels for near-perfect color accuracy. Skin tones radiate natural warmth against neon-lit streets or golden-hour horizons, while environmental hues retain atmospheric richness. This unparalleled color science underpins the historic Photography and Video Scores, rendering emerald forests, crimson silks, and azure skies exactly as the human eye perceives them. Complex lighting scenarios yield to its intelligence, ensuring authentic reproduction in every frame.

Redefining Possibilities with Fashion-Next, Durable Design


Beyond imaging supremacy, the HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra honors HUAWEI’s tradition of daring aesthetics. The evolved Forward Symbol Design, now adorned with sunburst motifs and golden accents, radiates horological luxury in two striking finishes: Prestige Gold and Prestige Black. Practical elegance shines through with the Second-Gen Crystal Armor Kunlun Glass, offering 25x greater drop resistance than conventional glass. The AI Smart Controls Button transforms the device into an extension of the creator’s intuition, while EMUI 15’s interactive themes add delightful touches, like lockscreen emojis tumbling playfully under fingertips.

Since its debut, the HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra has seen much enthusiasm across global markets. Both professional photographers and photography hobbyists, who demand uncompromised imaging excellence, have swiftly adopted the device as part of their photography device lineup. Gizmochina Picks from Gizmochina even hailed the device as a "Camera Master.” More than a tool, the HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra has become the ultimate creative companion. This global resonance amplifies HUAWEI’s core philosophy that technology should liberate creativity, never constrain it.

Through deep hardware-software integration and comprehensive imaging evolution, HUAWEI Pura 80 Ultra demonstrates HUAWEI’s profound technical heritage while delivering unprecedented all-scenario imaging experiences. By elevating every strength, from telephoto versatility and colour science, to light mastery, it has expanded photography’s frontier for everyone who dreams in frames.

Mondelēz International Holds Manila Bay Coastal Cleanup

In line with its #SustainableSnacking commitment and advocacy for responsible waste management, MondelÄ“z International in the Philippines recently joined a coastal cleanup at Harbor View Front along Manila Bay. The event was held in partnership with Friends of HOPE, PCX Markets, the local government of Manila and the company’s employee volunteers.
  • Recovered plastic turned over to Aling Tindera community plastic collection partner
  • Employee volunteering to better understand the challenges of waste management
SMALL STEPS, BIG IMPACT. Volunteers from Mondelēz International gather at the Harbor View front to kick off the Manila Bay cleanup effort.

The shoreline of Manila Bay—one of the country’s iconic yet polluted bodies of water—served as a fitting venue. Located in a dense urban area, the site offered participants a clear, local view of the environmental impact of unmanaged waste, underscoring the need for collective action. “Manila Bay is part of the ecosystem we live in, and seeing the waste firsthand makes our impact more tangible,” said Caitlin Punzalan, Corporate and Government Affairs Lead, MondelÄ“z International in the Philippines.

The activity brought together MondelÄ“z International employees, joining forces with local volunteers to remove plastic waste, collecting a total of 60 kilograms of waste, composed of both plastic and non-plastic material. “At Mondelez International, we believe even small, but consistent actions can lead to big impact,” Punzalan shared. “Our coastal cleanup effort is just one way our colleagues are putting our #SustainableSnacking agenda into motion—by showing up for the communities and ecosystems we share. It’s also a learning experience for them, to see the realities of the waste management issue in our community.”

Plastic waste collected during the cleanup was carefully weighed by Friends of Hope through its flagship collection program Aling Tindera. This ensured proper documentation and traceability of the recovered materials—an important step in supporting the circular waste economy.

Aling Tindera is Friends of HOPE’s pioneering waste-to-cash initiative which aims to promote the collection and diversion of plastic waste from nature, while educating the public on responsible waste management practices. In each site, residents can bring their collected plastic waste from home and exchange it for cash. By establishing these networks of neighborhood sustainability champions, MondelÄ“z International and its partners aim to inspire behavior change and provide sustainable livelihood opportunities for local communities.

According to Rudi Ramin, Commercial Director at PCX Markets, “Partnerships like these are critical in moving the needle on plastic waste recovery. MondelÄ“z International has been a consistent and engaged stakeholder—actively working with us to not only meet compliance, but to help empower local communities through the Aling Tindera network.”

ACTION IN MOTION. Mondelēz International employees and partners work side by side to remove waste from the shoreline.

EVERY KILO COUNTS. The plastic waste collected from the cleanup is weighed and verified through the Aling Tindera collection system.

This coastal cleanup is part of a broader sustainability journey for MondelÄ“z International. In 2024, the company was recognized with the Plastic Cleanup Partner badge, awarded to organizations that exceeded compliance targets under the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) law—a reflection of the company’s drive to go above and beyond what is mandated.

To further scale its impact, Mondelēz International has supported the establishment of two Aling Tindera collection hubs in Barangay BF Homes and SM City Sucat, created in close collaboration with Friends of Hope and PCX Markets. These hubs offer local communities accessible drop-off points for plastic waste, while also supporting livelihood opportunities for women micro-entrepreneurs.

“Beyond just compliance, we see this as our responsibility to the environment and to future generations,” added Punzalan. “It’s not just about picking up plastic, it’s about building better systems, engaging our people, and making sustainability a part of our everyday culture.”

UNIQLO Announces Four New Designs for PEACE FOR ALL Charity T-Shirt Project

T-shirts featuring messages of peace from three clever new collaborators, available from September 26

Global apparel retailer UNIQLO today announces the worldwide release of four new designs for its ongoing PEACE FOR ALL charity T-shirt project. The PEACE FOR ALL project features UNIQLO graphic T-shirts with designs expressing a wish for peace, provided voluntarily by collaborators with close ties to UNIQLO who support the aim of "take action with a desire for world peace." All profits from the T-shirt sales are donated to international humanitarian organizations. The latest items will be available from Friday, September 26th.

The new collaborators are Club for the Future, a non-profit organization inspiring future generations through space-focused activities; Dr. Tasuku Honjo, recipient of the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his contributions to cancer immunotherapy research; and Ryo Ichiriki, world champion Go player and journalist.

Club for the Future has contributed two new designs created by astronauts Gary Lai, Leland Melvin, and Sian Proctor. Based on the words ‘connection,’ ‘hope,’ and ‘belonging’, these designs convey the importance of seeing the Earth as a single entity without borders, and sharing a common vision to foster a better future for the next generation. With his design, Dr. Honjo shares the words that have guided him throughout his career: curiosity, courage, challenge, confidence, concentrate, and continuation. Finally, Mr. Ichiriki’s design quotes one of the 20th century’s greatest Go players, Go Seigen: "GO is HARMONY." The design expresses his desire for a peaceful society, which requires a spirit of harmony that accepts diversity and maintains the balance of the whole.

UNIQLO, together with people around the world, will continue to expand this initiative in a desire for a future in which all people can live safely, and a hope for world peace.

Collaborator’s comment

Club for the Future  (Non-profit Organization)

From Space, Earth has no borders. The reflections of astronauts Leland Melvin, Sian Proctor, and Gary Lai are depicted in the space-themed PEACE FOR ALL shirts. They highlight the transformative power of viewing Earth from above, inspiring a sense of unity and hope. By recognizing that Earth is a singular, harmonious entity without borders, we can nurture a collective vision for a peaceful future.

This is not only a wish for peace but also a call to action, encouraging everyone to embrace the shared responsibility we hold in protecting our planet and fostering a brighter future for generations to come.

PEACE FOR ALL. SPACE FOR EARTH.

Tasuku Honjo (Physician-Scientist)


Cherish your curiosity. Have the courage to tackle difficult problems, and have confidence that you can do it. Concentrate all of your energy, and continue without giving up. You can change the times.



Ryo Ichiriki (Go player)


"GO is HARMONY” is a quote from one of the greatest Go players of the 20th century, Go Seigen. Overall balance is always important: not only to communicate your own thoughts, but also to understand your opponent's point of view. Today's international community is losing its tolerance towards diversity. Conflict is frequent and uncertainty is rife. What is needed today is a spirit of harmony.

  • 100mm focal length offers stunning image compression, narrowing the distance between the subject and background to make your subject stand out. It creates a sense of drama and depth that’s perfect for bold, eye-catching portraits. 
  • 85mm focal length delivers crystal-clear close-up shots with lifelike detail, while keeping the background beautifully blurred in a natural and flattering way.

No matter where your subject stands, in front of an art wall in Makati or on a crosswalk in BGC, you can zoom in discreetly, capture the shot, and let their look speak volumes.

Bokeh that tells story

To elevate your shots even further, vivo X200 FE features 7 ZEISS Style Bokeh effects: Biotar, B-speed, Sonnar, Planar, Distagon, Cinematic, and Cine-flare.

These ZEISS-engineered effects replicate the look of iconic lenses used in professional filmmaking and fashion photography, giving every portrait a dramatic and atmospheric finish straight out of a magazine spread.
