NEW DELHI: OPPO has put India prices on its F35 series. The OPPO India online store now lists the F35 Pro 5G at Rs 45,999 for the 6GB RAM and 128GB storage model, and the F35 5G at Rs 38,999 for the same memory configuration, price as of 6 October 2026, 1:30 AM IST.

Both phones are on pre-order. The store says the open sale starts on 11 October at 12 noon, and pre-orders placed now carry a "Ships in 6 Days" note on the product page.

That 11 October date puts the F35 pair right in the middle of the festive rush, a few days after the big marketplace sales open. Our earlier piece on Amazon Great Indian Festival and Flipkart Big Billion Days dates and card fine print has the wider calendar.

What the OPPO store shows right now

For the F35 Pro 5G in Sunrise Orange, the listing shows Rs 45,999 next to a struck-out Rs 74,999 figure, with a "38% off" label. A separate bank offer line says buyers can get a discount of up to Rs 4,599 with eligible cards. The F35 5G page shows Rs 38,999 against a struck-out Rs 62,999, with a bank discount of up to Rs 3,899.

Two cautions here. The struck-out numbers are OPPO's own reference prices, not a price either phone has actually sold at, because neither has gone on open sale yet. And the bank discount depends on the card, the EMI tenure and OPPO's terms on the day, so the Rs 45,999 and Rs 38,999 tags are the figures to plan around.

OPPO lists other RAM and storage variants on both pages, but the 6GB plus 128GB tags were the only prices clearly visible when we checked. We will not quote higher variants until OPPO shows them.

The hardware pitch: battery and toughness

OPPO's India pages lead with an 8,000 mAh battery on both the F35 Pro and the F35. That is a big number for a mid-range phone, and it is clearly the headline OPPO wants buyers to remember.

The second theme is durability. OPPO describes a "360° Armour Body" and lists IP69K protection, the rating usually associated with resistance to high-pressure, high-temperature water jets. The F35 also gets a 120Hz AMOLED display, according to its product page.

For selfies, OPPO calls out a 50MP ultra-wide front camera, which should help with group shots without stretching your arm. The phones run ColorOS 16, and OPPO promises six years of "smoothness protection" on 8GB plus 256GB and higher variants, and five years on the 6GB plus 128GB models. That is OPPO's own performance claim, not a promise of six years of Android version updates, so read the footnotes before treating it as a software support policy.

Colour choices differ between the two. The F35 Pro comes in Sunrise Orange, Wave Blue and Twilight Brown. The F35 comes in Wave Blue, Titanium Grey and Mist Pink.

How the F35 pricing compares with OPPO's own range

OPPO's F-series has seen its store prices move this year. When we looked at the previous generation, the F33 Pro and F33 were listed Rs 2,000 to Rs 3,000 above their launch prices, and the Reno16c and Reno16 had also climbed on the OPPO store. That history is worth keeping in mind. A price on a pre-order page today is not a guarantee of what the store will charge after the festive period.

At Rs 38,999, the F35 5G sits Rs 7,000 below the F35 Pro 5G for the same 6GB plus 128GB memory. Buyers choosing between the two should compare the camera and display sections on the two OPPO pages side by side, since both share the battery and toughness pitch.

Before you pre-order

Check three things on the OPPO store at checkout: the exact variant in your cart, the shipping estimate, and whether the bank offer applies to your card. Take a dated screenshot of the final payable amount. If you would rather see the phone in a shop first, OPPO's open sale from 11 October is the cleaner point to compare offline and online prices.

We will update readers if OPPO adds prices for the higher memory variants or changes the sale date.
