The OPPO F series is known for offering smartphones with durable and stylish designs in the mid-range segment in India. From the debut OPPO F1 Plus to the newest OPPO F25 Pro, the series has been the flagbearer of innovation and design for the brand. The F25 Pro recorded a 46% growth in sales compared to the F23 Pro and helped the series clock the 10 million users milestone. Now, the brand is all set to launch the next device in the series called OPPO F27 Pro+ 5G
Did you know that the top three most common causes of accidental smartphone damage include dropping on the ground, falling out of the pocket, and dropping in water? Moreover, Cashify reported in 2021 that India witnessed a 35% increase in smartphone repair due to water damage in monsoons. And with the monsoon season around the corner, it’s natural for smartphone users to worry about protecting their prized possessions.
OPPO is all set to wash your monsoon worries away with its upcoming launch dubbed the OPPO F27 Pro+ 5G, which is India’s first IP68 & IP69-rated and the country’s first super-rugged monsoon-ready smartphone. Not only that, but the upcoming smartphone is also the first device with a damage-proof 360° Armour Body to protect against falls and drops. So, without any further ado, let’s delve into why the OPPO F27 Pro+ 5G is the perfect companion for all your monsoon adventures.
Say Goodbye to Waterproof Cases With India’s First IP69-Rated Smartphone
Whether you want to book an Uber in the pouring rain or simply want to create artistic videos of the monsoon, you can now pull your smartphone out of your pocket and do all that and more without worrying about water damage. The OPPO F27 Pro+ 5G is the first smartphone to have passed IP69, IP68, and IP66 certifications.
For context, currently, even the most premium high-end flagship smartphones feature an IP68 rating. It means these smartphones are dust-resistant and capable of withstanding immersion beyond 1 metre in water for a specified time. The IP69 rating offers the same dust protection but goes a notch above in water protection with the ability to withstand high-pressure liquids and steam cleaning. So, come hail or rain, you can use the OPPO F27 Pro+ 5G just like in any other situation.
OPPO has also taken extra measures to make the device waterproof by using heat-resistant glue, a new waterproof circuit, use of silicon sealing rings between essential components, and 10 upgrades to safeguard the exposed parts like USB, display, SIM tray pinhole, and more. It’s evident that the OPPO F27 Pro+ 5G has been designed to handle the Indian rains and accidental water drops like a champ.
360° Armour Body To Drop Your Fear of Dropping the Phone
OPPO seems to have thought of everything when designing the F27 Pro+ 5G as not only is it waterproof but is also designed to survive any falls or drops due to slippery conditions in monsoon. The OPPO F27 Pro+ 5G features a Damage-Proof 360° Armour Body that ensures shielding from both internal and external impacts. According to the brand, the new phone has a 180% improvement in drop resistance over its predecessor.
OPPO has connected the back panel to the body at the four corners of the F27 Pro+ 5G, which prevents the separation or distortion of the back panel when dropped. Moreover, the motherboard is protected by an AM03 cover, which is a high-strength and highly thermal aluminium alloy. The interior of the smartphone is also filled with cushioning material like sponges to safeguard internal components against shock and accidental drop impacts.
Lastly, the OPPO F27 Pro+ 5G has also passed over 150 rigorous Swiss SGS protocol tests and received Premium Performance 5 Stars Drop Resistance for Overall Certification. This means that the upcoming smartphone offers superior protection against drops, impact, and weather elements. With the best-in-industry water resistance and durability, the OPPO F27 Pro+ 5G is the ideal pick for those who want a long-lasting device.
A Display That Won’t Bail on You When Dropped
So, you know that the OPPO F27 Pro+ 5G is built like a tank and can take the elements in its stride. But what if the phone lands on its face when dropped? The biggest fear every phone user has is seeing a cracked display after dropping their phone and it’s justified considering the display is the only way you can operate the device. OPPO has made sure that not only does the F27 Pro+ have a solid base but it can also take a punch (or fall) to the face.
The OPPO F27 Pro+ 5G ships with the latest Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 display at the front—for 180% improvement in drop resistance and 3x stronger scratch resistance over its predecessor—to ensure the display remains scratch and crack-free, even if you drop it. According to Corning, the Gorilla Glass Victus 2 has been designed to offer improved drop resistance even on rough and defining surfaces like asphalt or concrete. Say goodbye to the palpitations and anxiety you experience while picking up your smartphone after dropping it. Now you can rest assured that the display will be intact even after the device lands display-first on the floor.
The OPPO F27 Pro+ 5G also comes with the Splash Touch feature, which allows normal use of the phone even when the display is wet. The feature uses an advanced Splash Touch algorithm to accurately recognise the finger touches when the screen is wet. Now, you can book that cab or navigate while riding in the rain without any hassle.
Stunning Cosmos Ring Design With Vegan Leather Back for Aesthetics
The OPPO F27 Pro+ 5G is designed to break the stereotype that super-rugged and durable smartphones tend to be bulky and not exactly easy on the eyes. The smartphone is the first in the F series to have a 3D curved design and is quite sleek at just 74.3mm width. Thanks to the lightweight build and 3D curved design, the OPPO F27 Pro+ 5G is quite ergonomic.
OPPO is also bringing the flagship design features to the F series for the first time with the F27 Pro+ 5G. The handset flaunts the flagship Cosmos Ring design for the camera module, which is inspired by mechanical watches and their high-end dial plates with layered patterns. The whole design is further elevated by the high-quality elastic vegan leather with a special siloxane coating to improve stain resistance.
A smartphone that saves you big bucks in accidental damages while looking like a million bucks itself, that’s OPPO F27 Pro+ 5G for you. The handset is the perfect choice for those who want to be able to flaunt the design of their devices without a case and use it in all weather conditions. Not only does it score big in the design and durability department, but is also a powerful workhorse that can manage everything from rough handling to heavy usage. If that interests you, hold on to your smartphone purchase until June 13, when the OPPO F27 Pro+ 5G will be officially launched in India.
