Oppo F31 Series Launch Date
The Oppo F31 Series is tipped to land in India in September 2025—yes, the season of chai and almost-too-hot afternoons gets a dash more excitement this year. I have a friend who times his phone upgrades with the monsoon; something about never fumbling an umbrella while live-streaming. Oppo always manages to catch that sweet spot when everyone’s ready for something new, so expect teaser ads… and random influencer “first look” reels to start popping up soon.
Price
Right out of the gate, the Oppo F31 5G is expected to debut around ₹25,990 in India. Not “flagship money,” but not dirt cheap either—the sort of price point where you might hesitate, then remember your old phone’s cracked screen, sigh, and hit ‘Add to Cart.’ If you're haggling with a cousin who likes a bargain, he'll probably throw in “But you could get a Realme for less,” but you know those arguments end with shared fries and everyone buying what they wanted. Pro tip: Oppo rarely does wild discounts at launch, but festival offers might show up if you’re patient.
Specifications
Let’s cut to the chase: specs matter, but they only tell half the story. The F31 Series packs an octa-core processor, 8GB RAM, and up to 256GB storage—expandable by a jaw-dropping 2TB with a microSD, so practically unlimited “memes in WhatsApp groups” capacity. Android v16 is running the show, and you get dual SIM slots (nano size), which always feels slightly futuristic and slightly confusing to anyone over 40.
Some highlights:
-
Processor: Octa-core, snappy enough for games and binge sessions.
-
RAM: 8GB, which is like having the good Wi-Fi... everywhere.
-
Storage: 256GB, expandable to 2TB. Room for every Bollywood soundtrack known to man.
-
Network: 5G support—but let’s be real, your actual speeds depend on your neighbourhood’s signal gods.
If specs were a sandwich, this one would be stuffed: reliable, filling, maybe a bit unpredictable but generally satisfying.
Camera, Battery
Right away, the camera system on the Oppo F31 Series is a triple rear setup: 50MP main, 32MP ultra-wide, and 8MP third wheel (depth sensor or macro, depending on who you ask). Selfies land at a wild 50MP—Oppo loves a dramatic front camera, so expect your pores to thank you…and maybe hide a few secrets. I snapped a group shot at a café with an old Oppo and accidentally caught a barista doing jazz hands, so, here's hoping for good shutter speed again.
-
Triple rear camera: 50MP + 32MP + 8MP
-
Front: 50MP
-
Video: 1080p @ 30fps, pretty decent for everyday clips.
Battery? They’re going big—likely a bonkers 7,000mAh in the series, although some sources peg the F31 itself at 6,000mAh. Either way, you’re set for a full day of Instagram doomscrolling. If you’ve ever done a train journey and watched battery melt before the snack cart arrives, this phone’s for you. Charging is fast, up to 80W SUPERVOOC, which means you can top up before your morning commute—or in my case, those mad dashes to the nearest plug before a match stream starts.
Display
Oppo went with a bright, generous 6.74-inch AMOLED, at 120Hz refresh rate. First sentence: it’s big, colorful, and snappy, so gaming and movies actually feel…deluxe. Honestly, large screens can be a pain in skinny jeans, but watching cricket highlights on vivid AMOLED has become a little ritual for me—a way to relive sixes over and over during lunch breaks.
-
Size: 6.74 inches
-
Type: AMOLED (panels so good you’ll keep cleaning them for no reason)
-
Refresh rate: 120Hz, which is buttery for scrolling; you’ll notice.
-
Resolution: 1080 x 2412 pixels
If you’re someone who gets lost in group chats, or gives up on smaller screens (like me, squinting across Grammarly errors), this is the display to keep you happy.
Features
Straight up: Oppo F31 Series isn’t shy about bells and whistles. You get 5G, stereo speakers, side fingerprint sensor, premium network support (VoLTE, Wi-Fi 6), and enough sensors to make you wonder what half of them even do. There’s IP68/69 rating for durability—meaning you can survive the classic “spilled chai” scenario or a phone falling off the desk in your rush to answer a call.
-
Some not-so-standard perks:
-
360° Armor Body — feels fancy, probably means “don’t freak out if it slips off a table.”
-
USB-C stereo audio, for those still using wired earphones (me, at least twice a week).
-
Expandable storage, so no agonizing over what family videos to delete.
If I had to paint a picture: think reliable, easy-to-use, and a bit competitive. The kind of phone that doesn’t mind showing off in a “who can open Instagram fastest?” face-off, or declining to heat up in a hot car.
