Processor & real-world performance
The MediaTek Dimensity 6300 is a midrange 4nm/6nm-class chip (check exact silicon for your variant). In daily use you’ll get smooth UI performance, efficient battery life and decent gaming at medium settings. If you are a heavy gamer who wants top frame rates and long-term GPU headroom, consider higher-tier Snapdragon or next-gen chips in the Pro+ class.

Display, camera and software experience
The AMOLED 120Hz panel is a major plus: richer contrast than LCD panels and smoother animations. Expect very good colors and usable outdoor brightness for everyday use. The 50MP main camera should deliver solid daytime shots; low light will depend on OIS, sensor size and software tuning — the F31 series leans toward strong daytime performance and reliable selfies.

Shop smart — price, deals and EMI tips
Estimated launch price is in the ₹20k-₹26k ballpark depending on model and offers. If you plan EMI, check bank offers and cashback deals first — often the cheapest total cost is via a promotional no-cost EMI + launch bank cashback.
Sample EMI calculation (example)
If launch price = ₹19,990 and you choose a 12-month EMI with effective annual rate ~12% (example), monthly EMI ≈ ₹1,770. Use an EMI calculator or link on the product page for exact figures — card rates and offers change frequently.
- Check zero-cost EMI vs. low-interest EMI — zero-cost may include processing fees hidden in price.
- Compare official OPPO store vs. large retailers — launch bundles (headphones, extended warranty) often appear at retail partners.
- If you want long-term software support, confirm OPPO’s update promise for the model before buying.
