The Oppo F31 Pro 5G just launched today in India, part of the rugged F31 series that’s all about tough builds and long-lasting power for daily hustlers and families. Priced at Rs. 26,999 for the 8GB/256GB variant, it’s a sweet spot under Rs. 30k, available from September 19 on Flipkart, Amazon, and Oppo stores.
With a massive 7000mAh battery, IP69 rating, and MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Energy chip, it takes on the Realme Narzo 70 Pro and Vivo T3 Pro. Sold with AI smarts and 80W charging, it’s built for India’s rough roads and heat—perfect if you need endurance without the flagship price.
Tough and Slim Design
At 6.57 inches tall, 74.5 mm wide, and 7.6 mm thin, weighing 184 grams, the F31 Pro feels light yet sturdy for one-hand use. Its plastic frame with Gorilla Glass 7i front rocks an IP68/IP69 rating, surviving dust storms or high-pressure water jets. Colors like Desert Gold and Space Grey give it a premium matte vibe, with a slim bezel-less look and side fingerprint scanner. Dual SIM with expandable storage up to 1TB fits India’s data-heavy life—no wireless charging, but the flat edges make it pocket-friendly for commutes.
Crisp Display Vibes
The 6.57-inch HD+ AMOLED screen shines with 120Hz refresh for smooth swipes on socials or videos. Hits 1200 nits peak brightness to beat sunlight glare on busy streets, with HDR10+ for punchy Netflix colors. Punch-hole notch keeps it clean, and eye comfort modes cut blue light for late scrolls. Stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos pump clear audio for calls or tunes—no always-on display, but the vibrant panel feels premium for the price, ideal for quick Reels checks without strain.
Snappy Performance Core
Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Energy on 4nm, it scores around 650k on AnTuTu for lag-free multitasking or light gaming like BGMI. 8GB RAM/256GB storage (expandable) handles apps smoothly, running ColorOS 15 on Android 15 with three years of updates and AI tools like photo enhancers. Full 5G on Jio/Airtel bands, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.3 keep connections zippy—vapor chamber cooling fights heat during heavy use, though it might warm up in summer gaming sessions.
Camera Setup Solid
The 50MP main Sony sensor with OIS grabs sharp daylight shots or steady night snaps for family moments, paired with a 2MP depth for portraits. The 32MP front cam delivers natural selfies with AI beauty tweaks and 1080p video—no ultrawide, but 10x digital zoom stretches for events. It shines in good light for social shares, though low-light noise bugs some—versatile enough for vlogs without flagship fuss.
Battery Marathon Champ
That 7000mAh silicon-carbon battery lasts 1.5-2 days on mixed use, with 10-12 hours screen-on for heavy scrollers. 80W SuperVOOC charges to 100% in 48 minutes, box-packed for quick top-ups in outage zones. Reverse charging powers earbuds, and efficient chip keeps costs at Rs. 1-2 per hour— a lifesaver for travelers forgetting plugs.
Handy Connectivity Bits
5G flies across networks, NFC for UPI taps, and USB-C 2.0 for fast data. IR blaster controls your AC in traffic, plus gesture nav and AI wellness tracking in ColorOS. Dual speakers add bassy flair—no headphone jack, so go wireless for podcasts on bumpy rides.
Price and Quick Buy
At Rs. 26,999 ex-showroom (on-road Delhi Rs. 28,500-29,500 with taxes), it’s up on Flipkart/Amazon from Sept 19 with launch deals: Rs. 2k cashback on SBI cards, no-cost EMI, or exchange bonuses. Two-year warranty, Rs. 1.5k-2.5k yearly service—wait times 5-10 days, strong resale at 70% after a year.
User Buzz and Quirks
Early hands-on love the battery and durability—”survived a dusty trip,” one reviewer says—but the HD+ resolution feels meh for videos, and no ultrawide limits landscapes. Software’s clean but has minor bloat. Vs. Narzo 70 Pro’s zoom or T3 Pro’s speed, F31 Pro wins on toughness and juice.
Final Scoop
The Oppo F31 Pro 5G, with its 7000mAh tank, Dimensity 7300, and IP69 armor at Rs. 26,999, is a rugged mid-ranger for India’s chaos. Not a camera king or speed freak, but that endurance and value make it a daily winner—grab it if battery life tops your list.
