Oppo has announced the introduction of a new smartphone series in India, the Oppo F27 Pro series, which will include two models: the Oppo F27 Pro and F27 Pro+.
The launch date is set for June 13. This article will explore whether these devices are worth your attention.
Design & Display
The design of the Oppo F27 Pro series, particularly the F27 Pro+, mirrors that of the Chinese Oppo A3 Pro. The phones boast a vegan leather back and a circular camera island. On the front, they are anticipated to feature a curved AMOLED display measuring 6.7 inches, with Full HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.
Key Selling Point
Apart from their stylish appearance, the standout feature of these upcoming smartphones is their durability. The Oppo F27 Pro series will be India's first smartphones to receive IP69 certification for water and dust resistance.
IP69 is the highest protection level against solids and liquids, designed to function in extreme conditions, including frequent exposure to water, dust, and debris. Additionally, the devices can be submerged underwater for extended periods. The front is further protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, capable of surviving a 3-foot drop onto hard surfaces like concrete and up to 6.5 feet onto surfaces like asphalt.
Performance
Under the hood, the Oppo F27 Pro+ is expected to house the MediaTek Dimensity 7050 SoC, launched in May 2023. This chip features two Cortex-A78 cores clocked at 2600 MHz and six Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 2000 MHz, built on a 6-nanometer process. The chip will be paired with LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 3.1 storage.
Performance-wise, the device is expected to score around 545,000 points on AnTuTu. It was also recently seen on Geekbench 6, scoring 886 points in the single-core test and 2305 points in the multi-core test. This indicates that users should not experience any lag or stutter during daily tasks.
Optics
In the camera department, the F27 Pro+ is expected to feature a 64 MP main camera with an ƒ/1.7 aperture and AF autofocus. The secondary camera on the back will likely be a 2 MP portrait lens with fixed focus. On the front, the device will sport a basic 8 MP camera with an ƒ/2.0 aperture. The phone will likely include modes such as portrait, night scene, ultra-clear picture quality, panorama, slow motion, time-lapse photography, and multi-scene recording.
Battery & Other Features
The battery capacity of these devices is expected to be around 5,000 mAh, supporting 67W fast charging. Additionally, the device will likely offer an in-display fingerprint scanner and Bluetooth 5.3.
Verdict
While the device might not stand out in terms of specifications, its design and durability make it unique. If you are looking for a premium-looking mid-range smartphone that can withstand some rough handling, the Oppo F27 Pro series is worth the wait.
