The newly launched OPPO F25 Pro 5G is one of the finest options under Rs 25,000 in the market right now. With cutting-edge hardware, it sets a new benchmark in the 4K video space by offering support for UHD recording on both its front and rear cameras. That’s absolute gold for content creators and aspiring influencers but there’s so much more that the device has to offer. Its top-notch performance and tremendous battery life are unmatched in this price segment and so is its brilliant design. The OPPO F25 Pro 5G is surely the epitome of affordability and excellence. Here’s a detailed look at its offerings.

Stupendous camera capabilities

The OPPO F25 Pro 5G has managed to grab leading-edge photography hardware that’s set to make the experience of using its cameras a breathtaking one. It’s home to OPPO’s 64MP Ultra-Clear Triple Camera setup that’s highlighted by a 64MP OV64B sensor. The high-end sensor is paired with a fast f/1.7 aperture lens that makes low-light photography a breeze. You can expect accurate colours and high amounts of detail from its photos. And as we said, this is the segment-leading phone to offer 4K videos via both its front and rear cameras. This sole feature should be enough for vlogging enthusiasts and content creators to go for the handset, as it’s guaranteed to give crisp and sharp clips for enriching their content.

The triple camera setup of this phone comes with an 8MP ultra-wide camera that’s ideal to capture a wider view. It’s accompanied by a 2MP macro camera for unlocking new photography scenarios, letting you be more creative by getting incredibly close to your subjects. The camera on this device’s front surface is a 32MP IMX615 sensor that’s calibrated to capture stunning selfies of individuals as well as groups. It’s got a Portrait mode for getting great bokeh effects and as we said earlier, supports 4K recordings, which are ideal for those who film themselves for their Reel uploads.

Another thing worth highlighting about the OPPO F25 Pro 5G’s camera setup is its adoption of the company’s Portrait Expert Engine. It uses algorithms endorsed by professional photographers to enrich the portrait-capturing experience. This engine has been calibrated to recognise diverse faces and a host of objects to separate the background accurately. It’s even trained to maintain skin colours despite drastic changes in the exposure. For low-light shots, the Portrait Expert Engine reduces noise and significantly improves facial clarity, while advanced HDR algorithms maintain high amounts of detail in the highlights and shadows. There are umpteen benefits to be gained from the phone for anyone who loves photography, let alone someone who creates content.

Slim, elegant, and charming design

One look at the F25 Pro 5G and it’s clear that a lot has gone into its design. It looks elegant and is highly ergonomic, whether you’re viewing content in landscape mode or browsing social media in portrait mode. This comfortable feel is the result of its light and thin nature and its smooth and slender frame. With 177grams of weight and 7.54mm slim, it’s almost effortless to hold the device or carry it in your pocket. In fact, it’s the slimmest IP65-rated 5G phone available right now. Its smooth rear surface is another aspect that contributes to its graceful feel.

The appearance of this phone’s rear surface is dominated by its unique Sunshine Ring camera housing. The rectangular camera cluster has a glowing surface that reflects light in a beveled pattern to give it a rather stylish look. The rest of the phone’s rear surface uses different patterns for the two colour options available. The stunning Lava Red option employs OPPO Glow technology to enhance its luscious burgundy shade. Its unique sheen creates a variety of tones to give the surface a distinguished allure. On the other hand, the Ocean Blue variant uses OPPO’s Magnetic Particle Design to create mystical ripples that are a joy to watch. Both colours should appeal to a different crowd and in turn, give the buyers exactly what they ask for.

Gorgeous visuals with 120Hz AMOLED display

Having access to a good visual experience is necessary if you wish to create great content for your own followers. That’s the reason why the OPPO F25 Pro 5G’s 6.7-inch display is perfect for content creators. It’s got a 120Hz refresh rate for free-flowing transitions and fluid animations that add an additional touch of flair to the phone’s visuals. It’s great news for gamers as well, as their high-framerate games will play brilliantly on this screen. This display’s minimal bezels uplift its already beautiful design. Thanks to them, it can boast a whopping 93.4 percent screen-to-body ratio that contributes a great deal to its immersion levels.

Those who love to watch movies and TV shows on their phones also have a lot to look forward to in this panel. Firstly, it’s an AMOLED panel with deep blacks and flush whites that give it a great contrast ratio. This contrast is further helped by the fact that there’s 1,100 nits of peak brightness on offer for an amazing viewing experience. No need to mention that HDR10+ certification also forms part of this panel’s characteristics. Also, worth mentioning is that this is a 10-bit display, meaning it’s capable of rendering up to 1 billion colours, covering 100 percent of the DCI-P3 colour gamut. This gives users a truly breathtaking experience no matter what’s playing on the screen. OPPO has given this display top-notch protection as well. The F25 Pro 5G uses twice-reinforced Panda Glass, which gives it a strong shield against falls and scratches.


Outstanding durability

The daily routines of content creators and vloggers can sometimes involve rough use of their handsets. So, when we say that the OPPO F25 Pro 5G is a phone that’s ideal for them, you can guess that it’s got top-level durability features. As we’ve already mentioned, it’s the slimmest 5G smartphone to achieve an IP65 rating, which gives it top-class protection against dust and splashes of water. This means you can certainly use the device under light rain or simply wipe off any water that spills on it without worrying about damaging it.

To simulate everyday usage over the long term, OPPO has put the device through heavy testing and ensured that it’s ready to serve you for years to come. Its volume keys have been able to withstand 1,00,000 presses, while its power button could withstand as many as 2,00,000 presses during testing. Moreover, the phone’s USB Type-C port has survived as many as 20,000 instances of plug-ins and plug-outs, giving it the utmost reliability for long-term usage. And then there’s the OPPO F25 Pro 5G’s main board that’s crafted from sturdy glass-filled polycarbonate material. The use of this unique material gives the phone’s main board added strength, adding yet another feather to its cap in terms of durability.

Robust everyday performance

One look at the OPPO F25 Pro 5G comes with a capable MediaTek Dimensity 7050 chipset, which has been constructed using 6nm fabrication process and keeps a fine balance between performance and efficiency. You will be able to do your everyday tasks with ease on this handset and even multitasking will be a smooth experience. Now that we are talking about multitasking, you will be happy to know that 8GB worth of RAM is available on the handset. But you’ll be even more pleased to know that OPPO’s Dynamic RAM technology will allow 8GB of additional memory to be accessible whenever the you want it. A total of 16GB of RAM will hence be available, giving a good boost to app launch speeds and app switching. And to make sure that this performance remains unblemished for years to come, the handset has received OPPO’s 48-Month Fluency Protection, which makes sure that near-box-fresh fluency is available to it for years and beyond.

There’s great news on the storage front as well. Owners of the OPPO F25 Pro 5G will have access to high-capacity 128GB or 256GB ROMs, giving them more than enough space for storing years’ worth of photos and videos. And if that isn’t enough, they can always use the phone’s microSD card slot to expand the space by up to 2TB. This robustness of the OPPO F25 Pro 5G’s internal hardware also extends to its battery. We’re looking at a 5,000mAh power pack with the kind of heavy-duty endurance to last an entire day with non-stop usage. Moderate usage can even extend its battery life to 2 days, moreover.

This device supports 67W SUPERVOOCTM fast charging. Users can experience super-fast charging speeds thanks to the company’s trademark charging standard. In fact, in just 5 minutes, it can deliver enough juice to the handset to help it last for 90 minutes of YouTube streaming. Extend the charging to 10 minutes and the phone can get 30 percent of its charge, while going from 0 to 100 percent will take just 48 minutes. That’s an incredible way of charging the handset and should translate into an extremely satisfying user experience.

Owners of the OPPO F25 5G can also say goodbye to dropped calls and fuzzy connections, as it boasts the revolutionary LinkBoost. It combines AI-powered network selection with a cutting-edge 360-degree antenna design to bring 100 percent faster transmission power and 58.5 percent stronger reception. This makes sure that sound from both ends is transmitted with top-notch clarity, offering seamless communications, every time. When a phone is supported by this kind of strong hardware, one can expect nothing short of unhinged everyday performance that should spell delight for every kind of user, not just a content creator.

Brilliance of ColorOS 14

As always, the newest version of ColorOS 14 has a lot to offer in terms of beauty, security, productivity, and reliability. It’s got tremendous utility and is a joy to navigate. Among the new features that have made it into the newest version is another segment-first addition for the OPPO F25 Pro 5G – AI Smart Image Matting. It’s ideal for turning complex photos into transparent PNGs, a process that would usually involve complex editing on a computer. Thanks to AI Smart Image Matting, you can just long-press on an image and it will automatically cut out the subject and let you use it in other apps, including messaging apps where the cutouts can act as Jpegs/PNG with a white/black background.

ColorOS 14 is also home to File Dock, an easily accessible drawer that gives you quick drag-and-drop access to text and photos, including the PNGs extracted through AI Smart Image Matting. Since File Dock can be summoned in all apps, you can easily drag and drop those files across these apps to make the best use of this feature. What’s more; File Dock syncs to the cloud, allowing you to have a common clipboard across your OPPO devices. And then there’s SmartTouch, which lets you extract text even from images. After taking a screenshot, SmartTouch separates text and images, letting you either paste the content elsewhere or save it to the File Dock.

Another big addition to the ColorOS 14 experience is the Trinity Engine, a suite that works behind the scenes to keep your device running smoothly for longer. The trinity in its name refers to three technologies that are headlined by ROM Vitalisation, which compresses unused data and eliminates duplicate files to free up as much as 21GB of space. RAM Vitalisation is the second aspect of this engine and it allows the phone to keep up to 28 apps running in the background for an impressive 72 hours. Finally, there’s CPU Vitalisation, which adds a layer of intelligent battery management, learning from user habits to optimize energy consumption and extend device uptime. The combination of these features promises a more efficient and seamless user experience.

Bottom line

The OPPO F25 Pro 5G is certainly a force to be reckoned with. It’s the segment-leading smartphone to offer 4K Ultra Clear Video on its front and rear cameras and it’s also the only handset in its league to offer a feature like AI Smart Image Matting. In terms of design, it’s an absolute looker, apart from being the slimmest IP65-rated 5G phone available in the market. As if that wasn’t enough, it’s also got segment-leading 67W SUPERVOOCTM fast charging support and a flaunt-worthy borderless display. Getting all these highly impressive features at a price point lower than Rs 25,000 is a steal and that makes it an ideal handset to suit the charismatic lifestyles of content creators.

The OPPO F25 Pro 5G is priced at Rs 23,999 for the 8GB+128GB variant and Rs 25,999 for the 8GB+256GB variant. The device will go on sale starting 5th March and will be available across Amazon, Flipkart, OPPO e-store and mainline retail outlets.
