The Oppo F27 5G was launched in India as the brand’s latest mid range smartphone. It was announced for a starting price tag of 22,999 INR and it also comes with some special bank offers. So here’s a list of 5 of the best alternatives to the Oppo F27 5G for those looking to get a similar package in a smartphone from a different brand.
Before we check out those other devices, let’s have a look at the key specs of the Oppo F27 5G. The device launched with an attractive and durable armor body design and the Cosmos Ring, which houses Halo Light. Meanwhile, the front sports a tall 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, FHD+ resolution, and 2,100 nits of peak brightness. Other notable features include Dimensity 6300, a 5000mAh battery, 45W fast charging, a 50MP dual camera setup, and an IP64 rating. Now, we can check out the top 5 alternatives:
1. Nothing Phone 2a
Nothing announced the Phone 2a as its first-ever mid-range model. Just like the Oppo F27 5G, you get a tall 6.7-inch 120Hz AMOLED display. But what sets it apart is the transparent design with LED lighting on the rear. For just 23,999, you get a more unique design along with a better camera system.
The rear features two 50-megapixel cameras for the main and an ultra-wide-angle lens, not a 2-megapixel Marco sensor. Under the hood, Nothing Phone 2a is equipped with the Dimesnity 7200 Pro SoC and is powered by a 5,000mAh cell with 45W fast charging support.
2. Motorola Edge 50 Fusion
Motorola also targets this price range with the Moto Edge 50 Fusion. It is currently listed in India for 22,999 INR, which is identical to the Oppo F27 5G. However, you once again get a 50-megapixel main camera camera and a 13-megapixel ultra wide-angle camera at the back. That’s not all, there is also an eco-leather variant, which offers a premium feel.
Unlike the other Phone 2a and F27 5G, the Edge 50 Fusion features the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2. The battery pack is a sizeable 5,000mAh cell, which supports 68W wired fast charging. So in terms of pure specs, this is one of the best alternatives to the Oppo F27.
3. iQOO Z7
One of the more affordable options on this list is the iQOO Z7. This mid-range model was announced last year for 18,999 INR for its 6GB + 128GB version, but its 8GB + 128GB variant costs 8GB + 128 GB. Under the hood, there is an aging Dimensity 920 SoC and a 4,500mAh battery pack that supports 44W wired fast charging.
For photography, there is a 64-megapixel primary camera and a 2-megapixel depth sensor on the rear. Meanwhile, the front sports a 6.38-inch AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. So it also has the smallest screen out of the 5 alternatives.
4. Realme 13 Pro
From Realme’s popular numbered series, we have the Realme 13 Pro which was released for a 26,999 INR starting price tag. Similar to the Edge 50 Fusion, it packs the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset as well. The Realme 13 Pro is powered by a massive 5,200mAh cell that supports 80W wired fast charging.
So while it is pricier than the Oppo F27 5G, you do get some better specs and a vegan leather option. The smartphone sports a tall 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and FHD+ resolution. At the back, there is a 50-megapixel primary camera along with an 8-megapixel ultra wide-angle lens.
5. POCO X6 Pro
Poco X6 Pro is the last entry in the list and it is on sale right now for 23,999 INR in India. This is around 3K INR cheaper than its original launch price. The front sports a tall 6.67-inch AMOLED display that offers a 120Hz refresh rate and FHD+ resolution.
On the rear, this is the only option with a triple camera setup with 64MP (Main) + 8MP (Ultrawide) + 2MP (Marco) sensors. Under the hood, the POCO X6 Pro is equipped with the Dimensity 8300 Ultra SoC. A sizeable 5,000mAh battery pack powers this device, with support for 67W wired fast charging.
