OPPO F35 5G and F35 Pro 5G Launch in India: Price, Specs, Sale Date

OPPO has made the F35 5G and F35 Pro 5G official in India, pricing the standard model from ₹38,999 and the Pro from ₹45,999, with both phones built around a 50MP ultra-wide front camera the company is marketing as a dedicated "Group Selfie" shooter. The launch, held on October 5, also marks ten years since OPPO introduced the original F1 in India in January 2016, the phone that started the F series. Sales open on October 11 at 12:00 PM through OPPO's India e-store, offline retail, Flipkart and Amazon, and as of this writing OPPO's own F35 Pro 5G product page and F35 5G product page are still running pre-order buttons rather than live checkout, with a banner confirming "Open Sale on Oct.11 at 12:00PM."

OPPO F35 series price in India

OPPO has not yet switched on checkout pricing on its own India product pages — both listings show a "Pre-order" button and the same notice bar reading "Open Sale on Oct.11 at 12:00PM" rather than an INR figure, which lines up with the stated October 11 on-sale date. The starting prices below were confirmed at the October 5 launch and match what OPPO shared with retail partners ahead of the public sale:

• OPPO F35 5G (6GB+128GB): ₹38,999
• OPPO F35 5G (8GB+128GB): ₹42,999
• OPPO F35 Pro 5G (6GB+128GB): ₹45,999
• OPPO F35 Pro 5G (8GB+128GB): ₹49,999
• OPPO F35 Pro 5G (8GB+256GB): ₹54,999

That puts the F35 Pro 5G roughly ₹7,000 above the base F35 5G at every matching storage tier, a gap OPPO is positioning around the Pro's bigger, faster-refreshing display and its second rear camera. Expect the usual launch-week extras from Indian retailers — bank card discounts and exchange bonuses — once the e-store, Flipkart and Amazon listings go live on October 11.

Release date and where to buy

OPPO held the India launch event for the F35 series on October 5, 2026, and opened pre-orders immediately afterward on its own site, Flipkart and Amazon. The actual public sale is staggered a week later: both phones go on open sale on October 11 at 12:00 PM IST, through OPPO's India e-store, OPPO's offline retail network, Flipkart and Amazon. Buyers who pre-order between now and the sale date can reserve a unit, but the checkout flow only completes once sales open.

OPPO F35 Pro 5G specifications

The F35 Pro 5G is the larger of the pair, built around a 6.78-inch (17.22cm) AMOLED panel. According to OPPO's own F35 Pro 5G specifications page, it runs at FHD+ resolution (2772×1272), adapts between 60Hz, 90Hz and 120Hz, and can hit a 144Hz peak refresh rate in supported scenarios, with 240Hz touch sampling, 450 ppi, 100% DCI-P3 coverage and up to 1,800 nits of HBM brightness. It's powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7360 MAX, an 8-core chipset built on a 4nm process with an Arm Mali-G615 GPU, paired with LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 3.1 storage across 6GB+128GB, 8GB+128GB and 8GB+256GB configurations — there's no microSD slot.

On the back, the F35 Pro 5G carries a 50MP main camera (f/1.8, 79° FOV) with optical image stabilisation and autofocus, alongside an 8MP ultra-wide (f/2.2, 116° FOV) with its own autofocus. Both rear cameras can record 4K video at 30fps. The battery is rated at 8,000mAh typical (7,780mAh rated) with up to 80W SUPERVOOC wired charging. OPPO lists IP69K dust and water resistance, an in-display optical fingerprint sensor, Bluetooth 5.4, Wi-Fi 6, and a body that's about 8.4mm thick and weighs roughly 210g. It ships in Twilight Brown, Wave Blue and Sunrise Orange, with the Wave Blue colourway getting an exclusive "Dynamic 3D Wave Texture" back panel, and runs ColorOS 16.5 out of the box.

OPPO F35 5G specifications

The standard F35 5G steps down to a 6.57-inch (16.69cm) AMOLED display, also FHD+ (2372×1080) with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, 240Hz touch sampling, 397 ppi and up to 1,400 nits of HBM brightness, per OPPO's F35 5G specifications page. It's built on a MediaTek Dimensity 6360 MAX chipset — also 8-core, 4nm, but paired with the lighter Arm Mali-G57 MC2 GPU — with LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.2 storage in 6GB+128GB or 8GB+128GB configurations.

The rear camera setup is simpler: a 50MP main sensor (f/1.9, 79° FOV) with autofocus, backed by a 2MP monochrome sensor for depth. Like the Pro, the battery is rated at 8,000mAh typical (7,820mAh rated) with 80W SUPERVOOC charging support. The F35 5G carries the same IP69K rating, ships in Mist Pink, Titanium Grey and Wave Blue, weighs about 205g and is roughly 8.8mm thick, and also runs ColorOS — version 16.0 on this model, per OPPO's listing.

OPPO F35 5G vs F35 Pro 5G: full spec comparison

Side by side, the gap between the two phones is mostly about display size and refresh ceiling, chipset tier, and the second rear camera — the headline 50MP selfie camera, battery capacity and charging speed, and IP69K rating are shared across both models.

Figures above are pulled directly from OPPO's own specification pages for each model, linked in the sections above.

The 50MP "Group Selfie" camera, explained

Both phones are built around the same front-camera pitch: a 50MP sensor paired with a 100° field of view, wide enough that OPPO is marketing it as a "Group Selfie" camera rather than a standard wide-angle selfie shooter. OPPO's spec pages list the front sensor at a 1/2.88-inch size with autofocus, and the product pages describe a zoomed-out 0.6x framing option alongside the standard 1x and a 2x digital zoom, so the same camera can switch from a tight single-person shot to a wider group frame without the phone changing hands. OPPO's India listings also reference an AI mode that automatically widens the frame when more people step into shot — useful shorthand for what the "Group Selfie Expert" positioning is meant to solve.

On the imaging side, OPPO's camera feature list for the series includes AI Night Mode, AI Popout, and a Natural Tone profile the company says is tuned for a range of skin tones. Both phones can record front-facing video up to 4K at 30fps, which is unusually high-end for this price band — most sub-₹50,000 phones still cap selfie video well below that.

Battery, charging and durability

Both models share an 8,000mAh typical battery — 7,820mAh rated capacity on the F35 5G and 7,780mAh rated on the F35 Pro 5G, per OPPO's own spec sheets — with 80W SUPERVOOC wired charging on both. That's a notably larger cell than the 5,000–5,500mAh batteries common at this price point in India, and it comes without the phones growing unusually thick or heavy: OPPO lists the F35 Pro 5G at roughly 8.4mm and 210g, and the F35 5G at about 8.8mm and 205g.

Durability is identical across the range on paper: both carry an IP69K rating, OPPO's highest dust- and water-resistance tier, which in addition to standard submersion protection also covers resistance to high-pressure, high-temperature water jets — the kind of rating usually reserved for pricier phones. OPPO's F35 Pro 5G listing also calls out India-specific testing it brands "Rainstorm Touch," aimed at keeping the touchscreen responsive in wet conditions.

Colours and availability

The OPPO F35 5G ships in Mist Pink, Titanium Grey and Wave Blue. The OPPO F35 Pro 5G ships in Twilight Brown, Wave Blue and Sunrise Orange, with the Wave Blue unit carrying an exclusive textured back panel OPPO calls its "Dynamic 3D Wave Texture." Both phones go on sale October 11 at 12:00 PM IST across OPPO's India e-store, OPPO's offline retail partners, Flipkart and Amazon — the same four channels OPPO is running pre-orders through now.

10 years of the F series in India

OPPO is framing this launch as a milestone rather than a routine mid-range refresh. The India F series began with the OPPO F1, which launched in the country in January 2016 and set the template the line has followed since: a camera-first mid-ranger aimed squarely at selfie-takers. A decade and roughly three dozen F-series phones later, OPPO is using the F35 and F35 Pro to mark that anniversary, leaning on the same selfie-camera pitch that defined the original F1 but scaled up to a 50MP ultra-wide sensor built for groups rather than solo shots.

How it stacks up against OPPO's other recent launches

The F35 series lands in the same month OPPO has been active across several price tiers in India. At the top end, OPPO's flagship made global headlines with the Find X10's global launch, which sits well above the F35 series on both spec sheet and price. Closer to the F35 Pro 5G's own segment, rival Vivo has also been active in India recently with the Vivo V80's India launch, another camera-focused mid-ranger competing for the same buyers. For context on how a 50MP selfie sensor compares with what else is shipping in 2026, it's also worth checking how the front cameras on phones like the ones covered in our iPhone 17e vs iPhone 17 vs iPhone 16 comparison stack up, even though that series approaches selfies very differently.

What next

The next concrete date to watch is October 11, 12:00 PM IST, when OPPO's India e-store, Flipkart and Amazon are all expected to switch from pre-order to live checkout for both the F35 5G and F35 Pro 5G. Until then, OPPO's own product pages will keep showing pre-order buttons rather than final checkout pricing, so treat the prices in this piece as OPPO's confirmed launch pricing rather than a live store listing. Once sales open, it's worth watching for bank-card and exchange offers from Flipkart and Amazon, which OPPO and Indian retailers typically layer on top of the launch price during the first sale window — and for how the F35 Pro 5G's 50MP selfie camera holds up against the growing list of mid-range phones chasing the same "group selfie" pitch this cycle.
