Oppo introduced the F35 Pro 5G in India on October 5, 2026, launching it alongside the standard F35 5G, according to TechCabal. The company said the release coincides with ten years of the F series in the Indian market.
The F35 Pro starts at 45,999 rupees (about $475), making it more expensive than its predecessor, the F33 Pro. Open sales begin on October 11 at noon India time, with pre-orders already available through Oppo India's product page. Among its features are an 8,000mAh battery and a 50MP front camera designed to capture wider group shots.
India is currently the only confirmed market for the device. TechCabal reported that Oppo has not announced launch dates or local pricing for Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, or Ghana. As of October 7, Oppo's Nigerian website listed only Reno and A series handsets, with no F series model shown. Imported units could reach independent sellers ahead of any official launch.
