Today, Oppo revealed its latest mid-range smartphone offering in India, the F25 Pro 5G. Priced between Rs 20,000 ($240) and Rs 25,000 ($300), this device aims to compete in the crowded smartphone market. Unlike last year's F23 release, this time Oppo introduces the Pro model in the F25 series, hinting at a potential standard F23 in the future. Having used the F25 Pro 5G for a few days, here are my initial impressions.
Oppo F25 Pro 5G Design
The Oppo F25 Pro 5G's design stands out, emphasizing its slim profile of 7.54mm and light weight of 177 grams. Available in Ocean Blue and Lava Red, the latter variant boasts a textured finish with a shimmering effect under light. The color transitions from wine red to rich red to a blackish tint based on viewing angles. Noteworthy is its IP65 rating for dust and water resistance, a feature usually found on higher-end flagship smartphones like the OnePlus 12. The front of the device showcases thin bezels and the display is protected by twice-reinforced Panda Glass.

The device is powered by the Dimensity 7050 chip, offering 8 GB of LPDDR4x RAM and up to 8 GB of virtual RAM. Storage options include 128 GB or 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage. It houses a 5,000mAh battery and comes with a 67W SuperVOOC charger for quick charging.
