Oppo F29 Pro 5G Review

The OPPO F29 Pro 5G is built tough with IP69 and MIL-STD durability while packing a 6.7&rdquo; 120Hz AMOLED, Dimensity 7300 Energy, and a massive 6,000mAh battery. It nails the basics with solid performance, fast charging, and AI-packed software&mdash;but is that enough?

Oppo is on a mission to prove that durability can be a selling point&mdash;not just a spec buried in fine print. The new Oppo F29 Pro is being marketed as a super-tough phone, and Oppo really wants you to know it.
They&rsquo;re not just talking about IP ratings; they literally dunked the phone in beer during our product briefing (which, admittedly, was kind of cool).
&nbsp;But beyond the shockproof and splash-proof marketing gimmicks, does the F29 Pro offer enough to stand out, or is it just a one-trick pony? Let&rsquo;s find out.
<h3>Pricing and Variants</h3>
The OPPO F29 Pro 5G starts at ₹27,999 for the 8GB+128GB model, with the 8GB+256GB variant coming in at ₹29,999. If you want the top-tier 12GB+256GB version, that&rsquo;ll set you back ₹31,999. Available in two slick finishes&mdash;Marble White and Granite Black.
<h3>Design &amp; Build</h3>
Might as well start off by talking about what makes the F29 Pro so durable&mdash;and whether it actually is. With IP66, IP68, and IP69 certifications, it&rsquo;s one of the most rugged smartphones in its category.
Oppo claims it can withstand dust, full water immersion up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes, and even high-pressure water jets, a level of protection usually reserved for industrial devices.
Beyond just water and dust resistance, the F29 Pro has gone through 14 Military Standard (MIL-STD) durability tests, proving it can handle extreme temperatures, humidity, and impact.
And because Oppo wanted to cover all bases, they even tested it against 18 different liquids, including coffee, juice, beer (yep, the one from the demo), and detergent.
But here&rsquo;s the weird part&mdash;there&rsquo;s no warranty for liquid damage. So, while Oppo wants you to think of this phone as indestructible, if it actually breaks, that&rsquo;s on you. Which, let&rsquo;s be real, raises some eyebrows.
The frame is made of AMO4 aluminum alloy&mdash; an aerospace-grade material that Oppo claims is 10% tougher than before. Inside, there&rsquo;s sponge cushioning to absorb impact, making it less prone to taking damage from drops.
I did some drop testing myself, and so far, not a single scratch. But long-term durability? That&rsquo;s a different story&mdash;only time (and a few more accidents) will tell. I&rsquo;ve got the Granite Black variant, and it&rsquo;s got a nice matte-textured finish&mdash;smooth, grippy, and thankfully not a fingerprint magnet.
Oppo says the back is made of High-Molecular Fiberglass (because apparently, regular fiberglass just wasn&rsquo;t fancy enough), but at the end of the day, it&rsquo;s basically fiber-reinforced plastic. Still, it&rsquo;s impressively light for something packing a 6,000mAh battery, coming in at just 7.55mm thick and 180g.
Not bad for a phone that&rsquo;s supposedly built like a tank. There&rsquo;s also a rounded camera module housing a 50MP main lens and a 2MP monochrome sensor, all neatly framed by a raised ring. And unlike some phones that teeter on flat surfaces like a seesaw, this one stays surprisingly steady.
The quad-curved design is another highlight&mdash;smooth in the hand, no sharp edges digging into your fingers, and just comfortable to use whether you&rsquo;re scrolling or gaming. Up front, Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 handles the screen protection.
<h3>Display</h3>
The 6.7-inch AMOLED here is pretty solid for the price. FHD+ resolution (2412 x 1080) keeps things sharp, and the 120Hz refresh rate makes scrolling feel smooth. Peak brightness hits 1200 nits, so visibility outdoors isn&rsquo;t an issue&mdash;unless you&rsquo;re standing under direct sunlight at noon, then good luck.
Oppo really wants you to know the F29 Pro&rsquo;s display cares about your eyes. It comes with five eye-protection features, including 2160Hz PWM dimming to reduce flicker, which helps for late-night doomscrolling.
Colors are vibrant but not overcooked, and streaming Netflix or Prime looks good. The bezels could have been slimmer, but it&rsquo;s a minor gripe. The in-display fingerprint sensor registers prints quickly without any hassle.
Haptic feedback, on the other hand, is underwhelming&mdash;more noise than sensation. It works, but don&rsquo;t expect flagship-level crispness. The stereo speakers deliver decent loudness, especially with 300% Ultra Volume Mode cranked up. Audio remains clear in noisy spaces, with sharp highs and acceptable mids, though bass is pretty much an afterthought.
<h3>Camera Performance</h3>
The camera setup keeps things simple. No ultrawide lens, and that 2MP monochrome sensor doesn&rsquo;t add much beyond the spec sheet. That leaves the 50MP main sensor with OIS handling most of the work.
In daylight, it captures solid details, a respectable dynamic range, and colors that pop just enough. Low-light performance is passable&mdash;good enough for casual shots but nothing that will make you rethink night photography.
4K at 30fps video recording is here, and while the quality is fine, there&rsquo;s some noticeable jitter. Portrait mode is actually a win, with clean edge detection and a bokeh effect that doesn&rsquo;t look artificial.
The 16MP front camera does a solid job for selfies, keeping details sharp and skin tones natural. It won&rsquo;t redefine front-facing photography, but it works.
<h3>Performance</h3>
Powering the F29 Pro is the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Energy, and for daily use, it does just fine. Apps open quickly, multitasking is smooth (thanks to 8GB RAM and 256GB storage on our review unit), and benchmark numbers are respectable&mdash;673,512 on AnTuTu and an impressive 96.2% stability rating in 3DMark&rsquo;s Wild Life Extreme Stress Test.
BGMI runs at 60FPS without breaking a sweat, but don&rsquo;t expect 90FPS support&mdash;it&rsquo;s just not here. Look, this is a solid daily driver. It&rsquo;ll handle your everyday tasks and casual gaming well, but if you&rsquo;re after sustained, high-performance gaming, something like the Poco X7 Pro or iQOO Neo 10R will serve you better. Those phones are built to handle long sessions, not just quick matches.
As for connectivity, Oppo&rsquo;s hyping up its new Hunter Antenna Architecture, claiming a 300% signal boost over the last gen, thanks to an 84.5% wrapped frame. I tested it in a congested area, and calls stayed clear, data didn&rsquo;t drop&mdash;but, honestly, I had no issues with the iQOO Neo 10R either.
<h3>Software &amp; AI</h3>
The OPPO F29 Pro runs ColorOS 15 on Android 15, and yeah, it&rsquo;s smooth, fast, and packed with customization. But let&rsquo;s talk about the AI&mdash;because, of course, there&rsquo;s AI. Screen Translator, AI Summary, Circle to Search, Google Gemini&mdash;Oppo crammed every buzzword in here.
The camera app is just as AI-happy, with AI Eraser 2.0 for deleting random background photobombers, AI Clarity Enhancer for sharpening zoomed-in shots, and AI Unblur, which, I&rsquo;ll admit, actually impressed me. My iPhone 16 Pro is packed with blurry dog photos thanks to my hyperactive pets, and this feature cleaned up a lot of them.&nbsp;
Then there&rsquo;s AI Studio, which turns your photos into AI-generated portraits&mdash;basically Oppo&rsquo;s answer to Apple&rsquo;s Image Playground. The software experience overall is fluid and feature-rich, but bloatware still drags it down.
Performance isn&rsquo;t affected, but some apps can&rsquo;t be uninstalled, and the ones that can just make you question why they were included in the first place. OPPO promises two years of OS updates and three years of security patches, which isn&rsquo;t exactly generous compared to some competitors.
<h3>Battery &amp; Charging</h3>
The OPPO F29 Pro packs a massive 6,000 mAh battery, and it&rsquo;s not just for show. Expect a solid 8 hours of screen-on time for everyday tasks without breaking a sweat. Even with a bit of gaming and heavy camera use, it still pushes a respectable 7 hours.
OPPO also throws in some future-proofing with its fancy-sounding bionic repair electrolyte technology, promising a battery that stays healthy for up to five years.
As for charging, you get 80W SUPERVOOC, and the included charger juices up to 50% in under 30 minutes, hitting full in about an hour. &nbsp;It&rsquo;s quick, but given the competition, it could have been faster.
<h3>Oppo F29 Pro 5G Review: Verdict</h3>
The Oppo F29 Pro is a phone that wants to be tough&mdash;and, to its credit, it mostly delivers. With IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings and MIL-STD durability tests, it can handle dust, water, and the occasional drop like a champ.&nbsp;
Beyond its durability flex, the F29 Pro actually gets a lot of the basics right. The display is good, the performance is solid for everyday use, and the battery lasts long enough to not stress about it.
Just don&rsquo;t expect it to outshine the competition in areas like gaming and cameras. That said, if you want a rugged, stylish, and reliable daily driver, it&rsquo;s a good choice.&nbsp;
