| Oppo F31 Pro+ 5G | Huge battery life; strong durability; good display; fast charging; tough build for outdoors / rugged usage. | Bulkier due to large battery; only dual rear cameras; charging speed (80W) is good but some rivals may push limits; camera versatility less than ones with telephoto. Also possibly heavier body. |
| Nothing Phone 3a Pro 5G | Strong camera setup (especially periscope lens); sleek & stylish design; balanced performance; lighter and more compact than heavy-battery rugged phones. | Smaller battery; less durability (lower IP rating); slower charging; less rugged build; possibly less attractive for those who need battery plus toughness. |
Which Should You Pick?
Depends on your priorities. Here are some use-case suggestions:
-
If you travel, work outdoors, or need a phone that can survive harsh conditions and long usage, the Oppo F31 Pro+ 5G is a better choice. That 7,000 mAh battery + strong durability features are big pluses.
-
If you care more about photography versatility, zoom capability, style, and a lighter phone, then the Nothing Phone 3a Pro 5G gives you better value. Its periscope zoom, more premium front camera, and design will please content creators or fashion-conscious users.
-
Also consider cost vs offerings: at similar or slightly lower price bands, Nothing gives you more in camera features; Oppo gives more in battery & durability.
Verdict
Both phones are strong mid-range 5G options in India in late 2025. If I were to pick one for average mixed usage (social media, photos, battery, outdoor use), I’d lean Oppo F31 Pro+ 5G for its bigger battery and rugged credentials. But if my emphasis was on selfies, zoom shots, style, Nothing Phone 3a Pro makes more sense.
