Cons
- The F27 Pro+ has a lower quality camera system than its predecessor. It has a dual-camera arrangement at the back, with a 64MP primary sensor and a 2MP depth sensor. This is significantly less than the triple-camera setup of the F25 Pro, which had an ultrawide sensor. The front-facing camera has also been reduced from 32MP to 8 MP.
- No stereo speakers: The Oppo F27 Pro+ has just one downward-firing speaker. This means you won’t get the immersive stereo sound experience that some other phones offer.

Overall, the Oppo F27 Pro+ is a good mid-range phone with a lot to offer, especially if you want something sturdy and long-lasting. However, the poor camera system and lack of some high-end functions could be a dealbreaker for some consumers.
