Oppo F7 Price in India Slashed by Rs. 3,000 on Amazon and Flipkart

Oppo launched the Oppo F7 smartphone in India in March this year. At the time of launch, the company made available the 4GB RAM/ 64GB storage variant available, and then in April, it launched the 6GB RAM/ 128GB storage variant. Both the smartphones were then priced at Rs. 21,990 and Rs. 26,990 respectively. Now, just months after the launch of the Oppo F7, both the smartphone variants are being sold on Amazon and Flipkart at reduced rates. The Oppo F7 4GB RAM variant is listed for Rs. 19,990, and the 6GB RAM variant is listed with a price tag of Rs. 23,990.

This means that Oppo appears to have reduced the price of the Oppo F7 by up to Rs. 3,000. Whether this is an official price cut, or just a temporary offer remains uncertain. We have contacted the company, and will update this space when we hear back. For now, you can purchase any of the variants of the Oppo F7 from Flipkart and Amazon at reduced rates. Note that Paytm is still selling the two variants at old prices, albeit with more than Rs. 3,000 worth of cashback. Amazon and Flipkart have listed exchange offers for the Oppo F7, letting users make the purchase at an even lower cost.
