Oppo F35 Series India Launch Date Set for October 5
The upcoming Oppo F35 series is scheduled to launch in India on October 5 at 12:00 PM, according to official confirmations from Oppo. Marking a decade of the brand’s mid-range F-series portfolio in the country, the new lineup succeeds earlier generations with a primary emphasis on updated aesthetics and group-oriented photography. The F series has grown to a user base exceeding 30 million people since the F1, which debuted as the first 16MP Selfie Expert phone. Subsequent models introduced dual front cameras on the F3, beautification tech on the F5, and a 25MP AI selfie camera on the F7. Later iterations added a triple-colour gradient design to the F11, 67W SUPERVOOC charging and a 5,000mAh battery to the F23, and 4K Ultra-Clear Video to the F25. The F33 brought a 50MP Ultra-Wide Selfie Camera, while durability was emphasized via the F27’s IP69 rating and F29 testing in India.
Oppo F35 Pro Hardware Specifications and Performance Contrasts
Oppo launched the F35 series in India in two variants—the F35 Pro and the non-Pro F35. While both handsets feature 50MP main and 50MP front cameras, only the Pro model includes an 8MP ultrawide shooter. Leaks indicate the Pro’s primary rear camera includes OIS, while a 50MP Samsung JN5 autofocus selfie sensor has been spotted. The Pro runs on a Dimensity 7360 Max chipset and supports 4K video recording, whereas the non-Pro settles for a Dimensity 6360 Max and caps video recording at 2.5K. Both devices pack 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage in their base tiers alongside 8,000 mAh batteries with 80W fast wired charging, though leaks have alternatively suggested a battery capacity as large as 10,000mAh for the Pro. The Pro model is also reported to feature vapour-chamber cooling and Android 16 with ColorOS.
Oppo F35 Pro Features Plastic Build and OLED Panel
The display serves as a major distinction between the two devices. The Oppo F35 Pro features a 6.78-inch 144Hz OLED panel, though the 144Hz refresh rate is limited to specific games rather than functioning system-wide. In the hand, the device feels like a solid mid-ranger with a plastic build, protected by IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K certifications. One report suggests the phone may measure 8.57mm thick. The Sunrise Orange hero color features a wavy matte finish designed to resist fingerprints and smudges, and includes a matching case in the box. Other Pro colors include Twilight Brown and Wave Blue. The standard F35 offers a soft pastel pink finish with a feathered, floral back-panel texture. Both models maintain flat frames with metallic accents and rounded corners.
Oppo Promotes Group Selfie Capabilities with Wide Camera
Oppo is promoting the lineup under the “Group Selfie Expert” moniker, targeting social media creators and youth-centric demographics. The series features a 50MP Ultra-Wide Natural Selfie Camera with a 100-degree field of view to facilitate wider group selfies without selfie sticks. The manufacturer has integrated the NaturalTone 2.0 system to deliver more natural-looking skin tones, supported by AI camera capabilities on the rear module. The rear module uses a “Starry Sea Lens Module” within a “Smile Curve Design” squarish housing with rounded corners. This assembly utilizes a “Flagship-level One-Piece Cold Carving technique” to smooth the transition between the lens cluster and the back glass. Unlike the Pro’s triple-lens array, the F35 uses a vertical pill-shaped island for two sensors and an LED flash ring.
