Offering merely incremental improvements over its predecessor, the Oppo F29 falls short in justifying an upgrade. Having the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset, it offers very little performance improvement; its 6.7-inch AMOLED display stays the same. Though the battery is 6,500mAh, charging rates remain the same and the 50MP camera offers no appreciable enhancements. Rivals like Xiaomi and Samsung provide improved value with better features in a very competitive mid-range market. The F29 is a forgettable upgrade with small improvements and no unique innovation; so, it is tough to advise above both its predecessor and rival cellphones in early 2025.
