Oppo launched the F35 Pro 5G in India on October 5, 2026, adding a new flagship to its F series with two headline features: an 8,000mAh battery and a 50MP front camera designed to fit more people into a single group photo. Prices start at ₹45,999 ($475), and the phone goes on open sale on October 11. The new model is priced higher than its predecessor, the Oppo F33 Pro.

The launch took place alongside the standard Oppo F35 5G and marks ten years of the F series in India, according to Oppo's launch announcement. This guide covers the release date, price, full specifications, and purchase options, with every detail verified as of October 7, 2026.

Release Date and Availability

The open sale starts on October 11 at 12 pm India time. Oppo India's product page is already accepting pre-orders.

India is the only confirmed market so far. Oppo has announced no launch date or local price for Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, or Ghana. As of October 7, Oppo's Nigerian website lists only Reno and A series phones and shows no F series model, which makes an official Nigerian launch less likely in the short term.

Imported units may reach independent sellers before any official launch. Buyers considering an import should ask the seller four things first:

• The model number. The Indian unit is CPH2829.
• The network bands, to confirm the phone works with your SIM.
• The warranty, and who repairs the phone if it breaks.
• The box contents. The Indian box includes a charger and a case.

Price

The F35 Pro comes in three configurations. Launch prices, before any discount or exchange bonus, start at ₹45,999 ($475) for the 6GB + 128GB model and reach ₹54,999 ($568) for the 8GB + 256GB variant.

Moving from 6GB to 8GB of RAM costs ₹4,000 ($41), and doubling the storage to 256GB adds another ₹5,000 ($52). Buyers who shoot a lot of video should pick the 256GB model, because the phone has no memory card slot and storage cannot be added later.

How It Compares With the F33 Pro

The Oppo F33 Pro launched at ₹37,999 ($393) for 8GB + 128GB and ₹40,999 ($424) for 8GB + 256GB, according to Oppo India's newsroom. The starting prices of the two generations sit ₹8,000 ($83) apart, though the cheapest F35 Pro has 6GB of RAM while the cheapest F33 Pro had 8GB.

Launch Offers in India

Oppo lists the following offers for buyers in India:

• Zero down payment plans of up to 18 months.
• Up to 10% cashback and up to nine months of no-cost EMI.
• An exchange bonus of up to 10%.
• 50% off the Oppo Enco Buds 3 Pro+.

Buyers also receive a free one-year extended warranty. The offers end on October 21, 2026, and the terms should be checked at checkout before payment.

No Official Nigerian Price

Oppo has set no official price for Nigeria. Converting the India prices at a rate of ₹1 to ₦14.05, the mid-market rate on Wise on October 7, 2026, gives a rough guide of ₦646,000 to ₦773,000 before shipping and import costs.

Imported units are likely to cost more than these figures, since the conversion excludes shipping, import duty, clearing fees, and the seller's profit. The naira also moves often, so buyers should check the rate on the day of purchase. Anyone living in another African country should convert the India price to the day's local rate before accepting an import quote.

Detailed Specifications

Display

The F35 Pro has a 6.78-inch AMOLED screen with a 2772 x 1272 pixel resolution, which Oppo markets as a 1.5K display. Text and photos look sharper on it than on the F33 Pro's screen. The panel refreshes up to 144 times per second for smooth scrolling and drops as low as 60Hz in other apps to save power.

Oppo lists two brightness figures. Its product page advertises a peak of 3,600 nits, while its specs page lists 800 nits in normal use and 1,800 nits in high brightness mode. Buyers should wait for independent tests before relying on the higher number.

Performance

The phone runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 7360 MAX, a chip built on a 4nm process, paired with 6GB or 8GB of RAM. Oppo has added a 5,000 mm² vapour chamber to pull heat away from the chip, and the company says the 8GB + 256GB model scores over 1 million on AnTuTu.

Anyone who plays demanding games should look for long gaming tests before buying, because a cooling component on a spec sheet cannot show how warm the phone gets after an hour of play.

Battery

The battery holds 8,000mAh, with the rated capacity listed at 7,780mAh. According to Oppo, it is the largest battery in the company's lineup. Lab tests show up to 2.95 days of use from one charge, though real-world results depend on the apps in use and network signal. The phone charges at 80W with the SUPERVOOC charger included in the box.

Cameras

The rear setup includes two sensors: a 50MP main camera with optical image stabilisation, which keeps shots steady, and an 8MP ultra-wide camera with a 116-degree field of view for groups and buildings. The F33 Pro paired its main camera with a 2MP sensor, so the ultra-wide lens is a clear step up. Oppo has also added a second flash for brighter night shots, and the rear cameras record video in 4K.

The selfie camera is the main selling point. It uses a 50MP sensor with autofocus and a 100-degree field of view. Tapping 0.6x widens the frame to fit more friends, and the camera records 4K video at 30fps, which helps anyone filming themselves for social media.

Design and Durability

The F35 Pro is 8.4mm thick and weighs 210g, which is heavy for one-handed use, so trying it in a shop is worthwhile. It carries four water and dust ratings: IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K. The IP68 test covers 30 minutes in still water at a depth of 1.5 metres.

Water resistance wears down with age, and Oppo's warranty excludes liquid damage, so the phone should be kept dry while charging.

Color options are Sunrise Orange, Twilight Brown, and Wave Blue, the last of which features a 3D wave texture on the back.

Storage and Connectivity

The phone uses UFS 3.1 storage, which opens apps and saves files faster than the F33 Pro's older storage. The list of included features covers two physical SIM slots, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, an in-display fingerprint sensor, and an infrared blaster for controlling a TV. What is missing: a memory card slot, an eSIM, and NFC, so tap-to-pay will not work.

Software and Updates

Oppo's specs page lists ColorOS 16.5, while its product page uses the broader ColorOS 16 name. Smartprix reports that Oppo promises three years of OS updates and four years of security patches, but Oppo's own pages do not state an update policy, so this should be treated as unconfirmed.

Oppo also advertises six years of smooth performance. That claim comes from a lab test, applies to the 256GB model, and earns the 128GB models a five-year rating. It says nothing about how many Android updates the phone will receive.

AI Features

Oppo lists several AI tools on the phone. Four stand out:

• AI Eraser 2.0 removes people or objects from photos.
• AI Unblur sharpens shots of kids and pets.
• AI Writer drafts posts and reviews.
• AI Synthetic Face Detection warns users about face-swap scams on WhatsApp video calls.

Some features may arrive in a later update, and some may differ by country. Buyers should test the feature they want on the phone before paying.

Oppo F35 Pro vs Oppo F35

The standard F35 costs ₹7,000 ($72) less and keeps the same battery and the same wide selfie camera, making it the better pick for buyers who value those two features most. The Pro earns its higher price with a sharper screen, a faster chip, an ultra-wide rear camera, and 4K video.

What Changed From the Oppo F33 Pro

Oppo launched the F33 Pro in April 2026, so the F35 Pro arrives less than six months later. Based on Oppo's F33 Pro specs page, buyers gain:

• A bigger battery, up from 7,000mAh to 8,000mAh.
• A larger and faster screen, up from 6.57 inches at 120Hz to 6.78 inches at 144Hz.
• A better camera setup, with OIS and an 8MP ultra-wide lens replacing a 2MP sensor.
• 4K video, up from 1080p.

Charging stays at 80W. Two things are given up: the memory card slot, which the F33 Pro supported, and some comfort in the hand, as the new phone is about 16g heavier. For owners of an F33 Pro who like its camera and battery, the higher price is hard to justify.

Should You Buy the Oppo F35 Pro?

The F35 Pro suits buyers who want a battery that lasts two days or more, or who take a lot of group selfies and film themselves in 4K. Think twice if you need NFC or a memory card slot, want a light phone, play heavy games, or need proven test results.

Where to Buy

In India, the Oppo F35 Pro is sold through four channels: the Oppo India e-store, Flipkart, Amazon India, and offline phone shops. No confirmed listings were found on Jumia, Slot, Konga, or Jiji as of October 7, 2026. If an independent seller offers the phone, ask for a photo of the model label and the return terms in writing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Has the Oppo F35 Pro launched in Nigeria?

As of October 7, 2026, Oppo has not confirmed a launch in Nigeria. The phone is available only as an import for now, so buyers should check the warranty and network bands with the seller.

How much does it cost?

It starts at ₹45,999 ($475) in India and goes up to ₹54,999 ($568) for the 8GB + 256GB model, roughly ₦646,000 to ₦773,000 before shipping and import costs.

How big is the battery?

It has an 8,000mAh battery. The 10,000mAh figure that circulated earlier came from leaks that did not match the final phone.

Is it waterproof?

It is water-resistant, with IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K ratings, and it passed a 30-minute test in still water at 1.5 metres. Oppo's warranty still excludes water damage, so the phone should be dried before charging.
