Regular usage keeps temperatures under control
During normal daily tasks like messaging, calling, browsing, and watching videos, the OPPO F29 maintains a cool and stable temperature. Users have not reported any unusual heating even after using the phone continuously for over an hour. The phone’s back panel stays comfortable to hold and does not warm up in regular use.
Moderate gaming sessions show slight increase
When tested with popular titles like Free Fire and Asphalt for around thirty minutes, the OPPO F29 shows only a slight rise in temperature. The phone becomes mildly warm near the camera module, which is common in most devices. Performance remains stable with no frame drops or lag, even after continuous gaming.
Heavy use with multitasking and streaming
During heavy usage that includes video calls, app switching, downloading, and streaming in full brightness, the device starts to feel warm after forty minutes. However, it does not become uncomfortably hot. The temperature increase is manageable and does not affect usability or screen responsiveness during multitasking.

Long gaming sessions test thermal limits
When pushed with more demanding games like Call of Duty Mobile for over one hour, the OPPO F29 does begin to heat up more noticeably. The upper rear side gets warmer, especially if played while charging. Still, the phone does not reach a point where performance throttles or the display dims due to overheating.
No software or performance lag due to heat
Even during long usage sessions, the software remains smooth and responsive. No app crashes, stutters, or slowdowns were observed due to temperature rise. ColorOS handles resource management well and prevents the system from overloading, keeping the experience smooth under stress.
Thermal design appears well optimized
The device shows signs of solid thermal management. Despite being a midrange phone, the OPPO F29 seems to have internal components arranged in a way that prevents overheating. Heat is dispersed gradually and doesn’t stay concentrated in one spot for too long, which adds to the comfort during extended use.
Final verdict on heating performance
The OPPO F29 performs well in terms of heat control. It stays cool in everyday use, warms slightly during moderate gaming, and holds up during heavy use without causing performance issues. For its price, the phone delivers a balanced experience and can handle regular and extended use without excessive heating.
