OPPO has launched the F35 5G and F35 Pro 5G in India, a release the company frames as a celebration of ten years of the F series in the country. The two phones go on sale from October 11 through offline retail stores, the OPPO India e-store, Flipkart and Amazon. Pricing starts at ₹38,999 for the standard F35 and ₹45,999 for the F35 Pro. The defining spec across both models is an enormous 8,000mAh battery paired with 80W SUPERVOOC charging, plus a 50MP front camera with a 100-degree field of view aimed squarely at group selfies. Pre-orders are live, with festive offers running until October 21.

Nokiamob's comparison makes clear the Pro's premium is not about battery — capacity and 80W charging are identical. The Pro instead buys a sharper 144Hz panel, LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 3.1 storage versus the standard model's LPDDR4X and UFS 2.2, plus a 50MP rear camera with optical image stabilization and an 8MP ultrawide where the F35 carries only a 2MP depth sensor. The Pro records 4K video from both front and rear cameras; Nokiamob notes the standard F35 launches limited to 1080p at 60fps, with a 2.5K recording option promised through a future update. The F35 also drops to a single speaker and skips the IR blaster.

OPPO India's Head of Communications Goldee Patnaik framed the series around how consumers share moments, saying the F Series has evolved alongside changing capture habits and that the 50MP Ultra-Wide Natural Selfie Camera with a 100-degree field of view brings more people into the frame. That positioning puts the phones against a festive-season market where, according to PC-Tablet, Counterpoint Research data shows Indian smartphone prices climbed 16% on average in the first half of 2026 due to memory costs and currency pressure. Launch offers include up to 10% instant cashback, up to 10% exchange bonus, 50% off the Enco Buds 3 Pro+ and a free one-year extended warranty.

Sales begin October 11 across Flipkart, Amazon, the OPPO India e-store and offline retail, with festive offers running until October 21. The Pro ships in Sunrise Orange, Wave Blue and Twilight Brown; the F35 comes in Wave Blue, Titanium Grey and Mist Pink. Smartprix reports the F35 Pro's 8GB + 256GB model scored over 1 million on AnTuTu in OPPO's lab testing. On the software side, My Mobile India details ColorOS 16.5 features including AI Recording, AI Ultra-Clear Documents and on-device AI Call Guard, with OPPO promising three years of OS updates and four years of security patches for the F35 Pro, plus a six-month smoothness package.
