The device continues the series’ tradition of exceptional battery life with its massive 7000mAh capacity, easily providing two or more days of usage on a single charge. The 80W SUPERVOOC charging ensures you can quickly top up when needed, making it an ideal choice for heavy users and travelers. The 6.8-inch AMOLED display is a particular highlight, offering a 120Hz refresh rate, 1600 nits peak brightness, and excellent color accuracy with 100% DCI-P3 coverage.

While the camera system follows a similar approach to the standard model with a 50MP main sensor featuring OIS and a 2MP monochrome sensor, the improved processing from the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 enhances overall image quality. The device captures good photos in various lighting conditions, though the lack of ultrawide and telephoto options might disappoint photography enthusiasts.

Overall, the OPPO F31 Pro+ 5G delivers exceptional value by combining premium features like a high-quality display and powerful processor with the practical benefits of massive battery life. It makes some expected compromises in camera versatility and premium features to maintain an accessible price point, but excels in areas that matter most to its target audience. If you’re looking for a well-rounded smartphone that offers flagship-like performance without the flagship price, the F31 Pro+ 5G is an excellent choice that balances performance, battery life, and display quality effectively.
