OPPO F29 and F29 Pro
These devices aren’t just tough — they’re tough to fortify, boasting IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance, in addition to IP66 and IP68 certifications. The 360-degree armor shell design, backed by military-grade MIL-STD-810H certification, ensures they can handle extreme conditions like drops, spills, and champs. Whether you’re trekking or just plain clumsy, the F29 series has your back.
Under the hood, the F29 rocks a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset, while the F29 Pro rocks a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 processor. Both feature a 6.7-inch full HD+ AMOLED display with a buttery 120Hz refresh rate. The Pro’s Gorilla Glass Victus 2 is on top of the former, while the F29’s Gorilla Glass 7i keeps it solid.
Battery life is unmatched. The F29 packs a massive 6,500mAh battery with 45W Super VOOC charging, while the F29 Pro packs a 6,000mAh cell with 80W charging. Power through in days, not hours, and recharge in a flash. These specs scream endurance for India’s on-the-go crowd.
Both phones feature a 50MP main camera with a 2MP depth sensor, which enhances photography. The F29 Pro adds optical image stabilization for crisp shots, and its 16MP selfie camera outshines the F29’s 8MP front lens. AI tricks like scene recognition and underwater mode make every snap pop.
Running Color OS 15 on top of Android 15, the F29 series introduces AI Link Boost which claims a 300% network improvement. Available in bold colors like Solid Purple, Glacier Blue, Marble White, and Granite Black, they start at ₹23,999 ($280) for the F29 (8GB/128GB) and ₹27,999 for the F29 Pro (8GB/128GB), topping out at ₹31,999 for the 6GB/21GB.
Pre-orders are live on Amazon, Flipkart, and OPPO’s e-store. The F29 series is set to dominate India’s mid-range market. Against the likes of OnePlus and Vivo, its rugged edge and battery might steal the crown.
