Introduction
Oppo just dropped the new F31 series in India. Honestly, they’re not messing around this time—three models, all 5G: F31 5G, F31 Pro 5G, and the big boss, F31 Pro+ 5G. They went super hard with the specs too: you get a massive 7,000mAh battery (which, by phone standards, is just bonkers), a 50MP camera with OIS so your pics don’t turn out all wobbly, silky AMOLED screens, and a power lineup from both MediaTek and Snapdragon. Oppo’s really swinging for that mid-premium "I want everything but can’t drop a lakh" crowd.
Let’s break it all down (minus the snooze-fest):

F31 5G (the “Budget” One. Air quotes, obviously.)
- 6.5" AMOLED, Full-HD+, 120Hz refresh (smooth scrolling is back!)
- MediaTek Dimensity 6300 (think: decent, not a beast)
- 8GB RAM, up to 256GB storage
- Android 15 with that ColorOS twist Oppo loves
- 50MP camera (with OIS!) + 2MP depth — 16MP selfie for your duck faces
- Wild stuff like multi-view video, 10x zoom, shooting beach reels literally *underwater*
- 7,000mAh battery, 80W charging (yes, you will probably forget your charger)
- IP69/68/66 certified—drop it, dunk it, let your dog slobber on it, whatever
F31 Pro 5G (Mid-Tier Power User Vibes)
- Same size display but color-nerd ready: 100% DCI-P3, adaptive refresh (60/90/120Hz)
- Upgraded MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Energy. It’s snappier, trust me.
- Up to 12GB RAM, 256GB storage (UFS 3.1, so apps open faster)
- Wi-Fi 6—fast AF downloads if your internet can handle it
- Still the beastly 7,000mAh battery + 80W charging
- Not super light (191g), but hey, big battery, what’d you expect?
F31 Pro+ 5G (Flagship Feels, Except for the Wallet-Drain)
- 6.8” BOE AMOLED display—bigger, sharper, colors pop
- Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, so much better for gaming and multitasking
- 12GB RAM, 256GB storage (only real power-users need apply)
- Cameras are the same story (50+2 rear, 16MP front), but they threw in fancier video features so creators get more love
- Again, the monster 7,000mAh cell, 80W fast charge
- Feels fancy, looks fancy, still not waterproof enough to take scuba diving... but close
The Weird Stuff Oppo Tossed In
- Triple IP ratings—means it’ll survive rain, pools, and probably your 5-year-old cousin
- Armor body protection (so you can, uh, drop it a LOT)
- Underwater video recording (GoPro is shaking)
- All models: huge batteries
- Multiple color profiles and display nerd stuff
F31 Series VS The Rest (a.k.a., “Should You Even Care?”)
Let’s be real, most phones in this range are decent. But Oppo’s whole shtick here is “bigger battery, tougher phone.” Will you get the same OS update guarantees as Samsung? Probably not. Is the ecosystem tight like Apple? Nah. But the F31 lineup’s got endurance for days. And yeah, most of the others (OnePlus Nord CE 4, Galaxy A35, iQOO Neo 9 Pro) just can’t keep up with that kind of battery life or ruggedness.Who’s This For?
- F31 5G: You want a good battery, okay speed, don’t want to drop 30k. Casual use, light gaming? Sorted.
- F31 Pro 5G: You want something a bit faster, maybe more future-proof with Wi-Fi 6. Multitaskers and mild power users.
- F31 Pro+ 5G: You want the best hardware without forking over flagship money. Gamers, photographers, or anyone just flexing on Insta, this is you.
