-
Storage type speed: UFS 2.2 is not as fast as UFS 3.x โ app loading, large file transfers might be slower.
-
Mid-tier performance: The Dimensity 6300 is decent, but itโs not a flagship; may lag behind in heavy gaming or very intensive tasks.
-
Weight / Size: Big battery makes the phone bulky; might be heavy for some users.
โ Verdict
The 8+256 variant of OPPO F31 is a nice balance: decent performance, very good storage, excellent battery + durability. If your usage involves storing lots of media, not charging every few hours, or you often use outdoors / under harsh conditions, this version gives more value than the 8+128 version.
If you tell me your priorities (e.g. camera quality, gaming, size, budget), I can suggest whether this 8+256 OPPO F31 is the best pick for you, or whether alternatives might be better.
