India will soon welcome Oppo’s new phone series, the Oppo F27, on June 13. According to leaks, the lineup consists of three models, and it could include a rebranded Oppo A3 Pro. If true, it means the country will soon get its first IP69-rated phone, which will be resistant to water, dust, and debris.
The series reportedly includes the base Oppo F27 model, F27 Pro, and F27 Pro+. The actual F27 Pro model recently surfaced online, with a report claiming that it would have an IP69 rating. Interestingly, the image of the phone showing its back design (huge circular camera island and strips of leather in the back panel) while being soaked in a glass of water resembles the details of the Oppo A3 Pro, which was launched In China in April. With these details, speculations started claiming that the F27 Pro model could indeed be a rebranded A3 Pro. In this case, this will be India’s first IP69 phone, which boasts complete protection from various elements. This makes it more protected than the IP68-rated Galaxy S24 and iPhone 15 models.
According to other leaks, aside from its rating, the F27 Pro will have a 3D curved AMOLED. To recall, the Oppo A3 Pro also has a curved screen, which measures 6.7 inches and comes with a 120Hz refresh rate, 2412×1080 pixels resolution, and a layer of Gorilla Glass Victus 2 for protection. It is expected to come in blue and pink color options, the same colors that the F27 Pro+ will also be available in.
If it is true that the F27 Pro (or one of the models in the series) is a rebranded A3 Pro, we could expect that the F27 series phone will also offer the same features as the latter model. To recall, the Oppo A3 Pro has the following details:
- The Oppo A3 Pro houses a MediaTek Dimensity 7050 chipset, which is paired with up to 12GB of LPDDR4x AM.
- As the company revealed earlier, the new model has an IP69 rating, making it the world’s first “full-level waterproof” smartphone. To compare, the iPhone 15 Pro and Galaxy S24 Ultra models only have an IP68 rating.
- As per Oppo, the A3 Pro also has a 360-degree anti-fall build.
- The phone runs on Android 14-based ColorOS 14 system.
- Its 6.7-inch curved AMOLED screen comes with a 120Hz refresh rate, 2412×1080 pixels resolution, and a layer of Gorilla Glass Victus 2 for protection.
- A 5,000mAh battery powers the A3 Pro, which has support for 67W fast charging.
- The handheld is available in three configurations in China: 8GB/256GB (CNY 1,999), 12GB/256GB (CNY 2,199), and 12GB/512GB (CNY 2,499).
- Oppo will officially start selling the model on April 19 via its official online store and JD.com.
- The A3 Pro is available in three color options: Azure, Cloud Brocade Powder, and Mountain Blue. The first option comes with a glass finish, while the last two have a leather finish.
- The rear camera system is made of a 64MP primary unit with an f/1.7 aperture and a 2MP depth sensor with an f/2.4 aperture. The front, on the other hand, has an 8MP cam with an f/2.0 aperture.
- Aside from the things mentioned, the A3 Pro also has support for 5G, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, GPS, and a USB Type-C port.
