Oppo F31, F31 Pro, F31 Pro+ Launch Date
Oppo’s next volley in the mid-range phone wars is almost here—and honestly, it feels like half my Instagram feed is already speculating about it. Yes, the Oppo F31 series is landing, and if the leaks, rumors, and those “accidental” retailer listings are to be believed, September 13th, 2025, is the date to circle in red pen (or, you know, stick the reminder in Google Calendar—no judgment). The launch window is said to stretch between September 12 and 14, but the 13th keeps popping up, so if you’re the kind to queue up at midnight (been there, done that, caught a cold once waiting for a different launch), that’s your D-Day.
The F31, F31 Pro, and F31 Pro+ don’t mess around with naming. You get three tiers, each promising something a little extra. This time around, it’s not just one-upmanship on the spec sheet; the big attention-grabber is a giant 7,000mAh battery built into all three. That’s the sort of capacity that makes you rethink your power bank addiction. I remember lending my phone during a particularly long train ride (no charging points, crowded sleeper), and once the battery died, my seatmate gave me a “rookie mistake” look I’ll never forget. With 7,000mAh, Oppo seems set to erase that pain point—for everyone, not just train travelers.
But numbers aren’t the only story. Call me a magpie, but color choices genuinely influence how quickly I decide on a device. Oppo gets that—F31 comes in blue, green, and red, the Pro is dressed up in gold and grey, and the Pro+ shows up in blue, white, and pink. I can’t help picturing my friends arguing in a mall store, phones in hand, weighing “style that pops” versus “won’t look grubby after a year.” (For what it’s worth, gold is polarizing.)
On the performance side, leaks suggest you’ll have a choice between MediaTek and Qualcomm chips, depending on which version calls to you, all paired with that headline-grabbing battery and 50MP cameras. Durability is another calling card this year, with IP66, IP68, and even IP69 ratings thrown into the rumor mill. In human speak? These phones can take accidental spills, rain, and, according to one giddy leaker, “almost a trip through a car wash.” (Don’t test that one at home—Oppo’s warranty people might not have much of a sense of humor about it).
Pricing, too, feels fair—at least on paper. With the F31 tipped around ₹20,000, the Pro at ₹30,000, and the Pro+ inching closer to ₹35,000, there’s a recognizable step-up logic. You get more oomph (and, often, a fancier finish) as you go up the ladder. It’s the sort of segmentation that lets budget buyers nab something robust without feeling like they’ve settled for leftovers, while photo-happy folks (or those who drop their phone bi-annually) might spring for the high end.
There’s a kind of buzz about this series—maybe it’s the combination of battery hype and launch timing (September’s always crowded for smartphone news), or maybe people are just ready for something that genuinely feels like an upgrade from last year’s parade of forgettable mid-rangers. I’ll admit: part of me wants to see just how many hours that battery can stretch out on a single charge. Maybe even enough to survive a weekend away, phone maps and podcasts running, with no charger in sight. That, more than anything else, feels like the real promise of the Oppo F31 series.
If the rumors hold and September 13 is the day, it won’t be long before we see what the real-world verdict is. Until then, here’s hoping Oppo’s next launch isn’t just another tick on the tech calendar—but one that recharges the segment, literally and figuratively.
