OPPO F29 Series: A durable champion designed for India's everyday heroes
In the fast-moving world of quick commerce and everyday services, India's on-the-go professionals are the silent force keeping cities in motion — navigating deadlines, busy streets, and unpredictable schedules with unwavering focus. For them, reliability and durability are non-negotiable. The
OPPO F29 Series
is designed with this very purpose — a smartphone that stands strong through spills, drops, and long hours without compromise. Inspired by the spirit of those who power daily life, and shaped by OPPO's commitment to purposeful innovation, the F29 Series is the Durable Champion built for those who never miss a beat. Let's take a closer look at what sets it apart.
OPPO'S promise of durability
At OPPO, durability isn't just a feature, it is the guiding principle for crafting devices that stand the test of time. Unlike other smartphone players, OPPO's commitment to durability is built on four key pillars that ensure every device is designed to last, adapt, and perform in the real world. Water resistance is redefined with industry-leading IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings, offering protection from rain, spills, and even high-pressure sprays. 360° drop resistance provides comprehensive impact protection from every angle, reflecting OPPO's focus on real-world resilience.
Long-lasting battery
performance ensures devices stay powerful over time, with optimised charging for all-day use and long-term reliability. And with stable network performance, OPPO devices maintain strong connections even in challenging environments. With these four focus areas, durability becomes more than a feature—it's a foundation of trust OPPO builds into every device.
OPPO F29 Series - The durable champion for India's real-life heroes
At OPPO, the focus is on deeply understanding the challenges faced by users to create products that not only deliver exceptional functionality but also address real, everyday needs. As India's gig economy rapidly expands, with millions of drivers, delivery partners, home-service professionals and small business owners — currently 7.7 million strong and projected to reach
23.5 million
by 2030 — durability has become a critical factor in ensuring reliability and performance under tough conditions.
To meet the demands of this vibrant workforce, OPPO has introduced the F29 Series, which is engineered to endure the diverse and challenging environments that professionals face daily.
OPPO F29 Series: Built for India, Tested in India
The OPPO F29 Series is purpose-built for India's road warriors — drivers, delivery partners, and field professionals who brave tough conditions daily. Uniquely built for India and extensively tested in India by SGS (Société Générale de Surveillance), the F29 Series has proven its durability against real-world challenges, including extreme temperatures, water exposure, dust, vibrations, and salt mist. Certified across 14 MIL-STD-810H-2022 military-grade parameters, it stands strong where performance matters the most.
With an IP66, IP68, and IP69 rating, the F29 is equipped to handle everything from monsoon downpours and dusty highways to accidental spills of tea, coffee, oil, or detergent — resisting up to 18 everyday liquids. Its 360° Armour Body absorbs shocks from drops, making it ideal for fast-paced, on-the-move professionals. The industry-first Hunter Antenna Architecture ensures 300% stronger connectivity in low-signal zones like elevators, basements, and remote roads — keeping users connected wherever work takes them.
Despite its rugged durability, the F29 Series doesn't sacrifice design. With a high-capacity 6500mAh battery on the F29 and 6000mAh on the F29 Pro, plus SUPERVOOC™ fast charging, it keeps up with long, demanding schedules. All this comes in a slim, elegant form factor — delivering on OPPO's philosophy of blending powerful engineering with everyday usability. It's a device that's as tough as it is thoughtful, made for those who keep India moving.
Not just a smartphone - A tribute to everyday heroes
Beyond technical resilience, the OPPO F29 Series stands for something bigger — a salute to those who keep India moving quietly and tirelessly. From delivery riders and gig workers to field agents and service providers, these everyday heroes are the real force behind our daily lives. As their role grows, so does the need to recognize their dedication. Through the #ZindagiKeRealHeroes initiative, OPPO is shining a spotlight on this remarkable community. Now it's your turn — take a selfie, make the pledge, and
join the movement
to celebrate the spirit and strength of India's real champions.

Bengaluru's Peenya Industrial Area gets special investment region status
Bengaluru: Peenya Industrial Area, once hailed as the largest industrial hub in Southeast Asia but now struggling with deteriorating infrastructure, has been officially recognised as a Special Investment Region (SIR) by the Karnataka govt. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now This would facilitate the creation of an Industrial Township Authority. According to a govt notification issued on June 9, Peenya's 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th phase industrial areas—covering a total of 1,461.5 acres—will be brought under the purview of the Karnataka Special Investment Region Act-2022. The Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board (KIADB) has been appointed the designated Industrial Township Authority for Peenya. Under this framework, KIADB will be responsible for collecting property taxes from industrial units in the area. Of the total tax collected, 70% will be allocated towards the development of civic amenities, including road infrastructure, sanitation, waste management, and other essential services. The remaining 30% will be remitted to the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP). A senior official from the department of commerce and industries said: "The establishment of an Industrial Township Authority will ensure better utilisation of tax revenue for enhancing civic infrastructure and addressing the specific needs of industrial units. ELCITA, which regulates Electronics City, has set a strong precedent for how such townships can be successfully managed. Across the state, we now have 18 Special Investment Regions developed under the Karnataka Special Investment Region Act. " KIADB is expected to roll out mechanisms for tax collection from industries within Peenya. Home to 3,500 industries Industrial representatives welcomed the move, calling it a major breakthrough. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The designated region is home to nearly 3,500 industries and provides employment to over 8 lakh people. The demand for township status dates back to the 1990s. While Electronics City has long had its own township authority, Peenya—despite being a manufacturing powerhouse—remained without one. Peenya's industrial foundation was laid between 1970 and 1974 after the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board (KIADB) acquired the land in 1969. The estate developed over four phases across 1,800 acres, with parts handed over to other local administrations to support small and micro enterprises. Additionally, the broader area includes 25 privately managed industrial pockets. A Regional Development Authority comprising 13 members will be formed and it will function as a special-purpose vehicle under the state govt. Industrialists said the move could finally resolve long-pending issues related to poor roads, drainage, lighting, traffic management, and civic amenities, and help attract fresh investment. Box - 1 Shiva Kumar R, president of Peenya Industries Association Until now, we've had to route our grievances to two MLAs and six BBMP ward leaders. However, this new authority will centralise decision making. We've paid taxes for decades but received little in return—because we aren't a vote bank. Now, with a dedicated body, we can expect proper roads, lighting, drainage, and water. Peenya contributes 45% to India's machine tool supply, with strong ties to the auto, space, and garment sectors. Better infrastructure can push growth further Arvind Burji, industrialist and former president of PIA and KASSIA This was a big step but Peenya still has a long way to go. Peenya makes everything from pins to aircraft parts, but infrastructure is our biggest roadblock. We've been demanding township status since 1996–97 for planned amenities like drainage, housing, and civic facilities. Today, even a 5 km commute takes over an hour due to traffic. Without better infrastructure, banking support, and vendor networks, investors won't come here Prakash Raikar, a metal industry owner at Peenya IInd Stage since 1987 I've witnessed Peenya's growth over the years, but our decades-old demand for township status hasn't moved much—ownership still rests with KIADB. We're glad about the special status, but cautious. Despite being major revenue contributors, development funds rarely come back to us Jacob Crasta, eco-friendly packaging industry owner at Peenya IInd Stage for the last 48 years Since we are not voters in the area, most of the revenue we generate is not being used for our development, resulting in the current dismal infrastructure. Now, with a dedicated body in place where our voices and demands can be heard, we believe we can develop ourselves like ELCITA MG Balakrishna, chairman, FKCCI Peenya, one of the oldest industrial hubs, has long deserved this recognition—ideally, it should have come much earlier. We have called for equal representation from local industries in the committee to ensure effective implementation Box - Key demands of stakeholders - Immediate upgrades to roads, stormwater drains, and street lighting to ensure smooth movement and worker safety - Instalment of a Common Effluent Treatment Plant to support over 600 electroplating and chemical-based units. - Regular and scientific waste collection - The new authority must be empowered with full township-like autonomy, similar to what Electronics City enjoys under ELCITA - At least 70% of tax revenue generated from Peenya must be reinvested locally to improve core infrastructure and services. Box - How SIR will be a game changer - A single-window governance system will replace the current maze of MLAs, multiple BBMP zones, and departments, reducing delays. - Infrastructure projects like roads, power upgrades, and water supply will get cleared and executed much faster. - Improved facilities and streamlined operations will attract new domestic and international investments to the region. - Expected to generate four lakh jobs, particularly in machine tools, automotive, aerospace, and garment manufacturing. - With better support, the current 45% contribution to India's machine tool would boost further.

Google rolls out Android 16: Check what's new, eligible devices and how to update
Google has begun the rollout of Android 16, its latest mobile operating system on Wednesday, starting with supported Pixel devices. The release marks the earliest launch of a major Android version in recent years, with broader availability for other phone brands expected later in 2025. The update introduces a redesigned user experience, laying the groundwork for Google's new Material 3 Expressive design. Among the key changes are streamlined notifications, improved accessibility features, enhanced security options, and expanded productivity tools, particularly for tablets and foldable. One of the prominent features in Android 16 is support for real-time live updates from compatible apps. Designed to minimise the need for users to repeatedly open applications, this function will initially work with select ride-hailing and food delivery apps. Google is collaborating with manufacturers like Samsung, OPPO, and OnePlus to integrate the feature into their own notification systems, including Now Bar and Live Alerts. Additionally, Android 16 introduces automatic grouping of notifications from the same app, aiming to reduce clutter and improve readability. The new version brings meaningful improvements for users with hearing devices. Android 16 now allows individuals using LE Audio hearing aids to switch from the aid's microphone to the phone's microphone during calls — a change expected to improve clarity in noisy surroundings. The update also introduces native control options for hearing devices, enabling users to manage settings such as volume directly from their phone. Security remains a focus in Android 16 with the introduction of Advanced Protection — Google's highest level of mobile protection. The system aims to shield users from threats such as phishing, malicious apps, unsafe websites, and scam calls. Designed for both high-risk individuals and everyday users, the feature can be activated through a single tap in device settings. Google has worked closely with Samsung to implement desktop windowing for Android tablets and foldable devices. This allows users to open, move, and resize multiple app windows on a single screen, mimicking a desktop interface. The feature supplements existing single-app and split-screen modes and is expected to be available later in the year. Other forthcoming features include support for custom keyboard shortcuts and taskbar overflow, designed to improve multitasking on large-screen devices. Android will also begin testing external display connectivity for tablets and phones, enabling users to expand their workspace when required. Android 16 is available immediately for users of Pixel 6 and newer devices, including the Pixel Tablet and Fold models. The software will be delivered via over-the-air (OTA) updates. To upgrade, Pixel users should navigate toSettings > System > Software update, and follow the prompts to install the latest version. Pixel 6, 6 Pro, 6a Pixel 7, 7 Pro, 7a Pixel 8, 8 Pro, 8a Pixel 9, 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL, 9 Pro Fold, 9a Pixel Fold Pixel Tablet
