Oppo K14 Gets Bluetooth Certification Ahead of Expected March Launch
OppoSunday, 08 February 2026 at 12:57
Oppo's launching the K14x in India on February 10. Two days before that debut, the regular K14 just showed up where nobody expected - apart from notorious X user account "Anvin", who leaked its Bluetooth SIG approval.
Key Points
- Oppo K14 receives Bluetooth SIG certification (CPH2869) two days before K14x India launch
- Zero official specs revealed for standard K14 despite certification approval
- Certification timeline suggests March 2026 launch following typical one-month pattern
- K13 predecessor featured 7,000mAh battery, 80W charging, and Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chip
- K14x debuts February 10 with 6,500mAh battery, 120Hz LCD, and approximately Rs 15,000 price
Certification Database Leak
As we mentioned, the standard Oppo K14 appeared in Bluetooth SIG's certification listings right alongside the K14x. Model numbers are CPH2869 for the K14 and CPH2871 for the K14x. First time anyone's seen official proof these phones exist.
Oppo hasn't breathed a word about the regular K14. Zero specs announced. No launch event scheduled. Radio silence.
But here's the thing about Bluetooth certifications—they're reliable launch predictors. Phones that clear this hurdle typically hit shelves within four to six weeks. Sometimes sooner.
The same K14 got approved by Singapore's IMDA back in December. Add two months to that timeline and you land squarely in late February or early March for a launch.
Complete Spec Blackout
Nobody knows what's inside this thing. Leakers haven't touched it. Rumor sites have nothing. Complete information drought.
Last year's K13 gives us a baseline, at least. That phone had a 6.67-inch AMOLED panel at FHD+ resolution. Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 ran the show. Battery was an absolute unit at 7,000mAh with 80W fast charging. Main camera clocked in at 50MP.
Does the K14 match those specs? Improve on them? Go cheaper? Your guess is as good as mine.
K14x Already Spilling Everything
The budget variant launching Monday? Oppo's been talking about it openly. LCD screen at 120Hz. Battery drops to 6,500mAh with only 45W charging—weird downgrade from last year's K13 actually.
Storage caps at 128GB. Camera hits 50MP. Colors are Ice Blue and Prism Violet. Price should land around Rs 15,000, firmly in budget phone territory.

Backwards Launch Strategy
Leading with the cheaper variant while keeping the standard model secret is bizarre. Most companies do the opposite—launch the main product first, then roll out budget alternatives.
Maybe Oppo's gauging market reaction before committing resources to the regular K14. Maybe they're spacing releases to prevent competing with themselves. Hard to say.
What Happens Next
Certification doesn't lie though. This phone exists and it's coming. History says March is the month. India will probably get it early based on how the K13 rollout went last year.
Beyond that? We're stuck waiting for Oppo to actually say something. Which they clearly don't feel like doing yet.
February 10 brings the K14x. Sometime after that, probably March, the regular K14 shows up. That's all we've got.
