Oppo Find X Goes on Sale in India for the First Time Today, via Flipkart: Price, Specifications

Oppo Find X, the Chinese manufacturer's latest flagship in India, has gone on sale in the country today via Flipkart. The smartphone was launched in India last month, following a global launch in June this year. The pre-orders for the Oppo Find X had started on July 25, and will be available for purchase starting today (August 3). Priced in India at Rs. 59,990, the Oppo Find X is a premium smartphone that comes with a motorised slider containing the phone's cameras. Other key highlights of the Oppo Find X include a Snapdragon 845 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 3D facial scanning. Notably, the Oppo Find X will be exclusively available via Flipkart before it goes on sale via offline channels. While Oppo had also launched the Find X Automobili Lamborghini Edition in India, but currently there are no details about its India price or availability.

Oppo Find X price in India

The Oppo Find X price in India has been set at Rs. 59,990. It comes in just one variant - 8GB of RAM and 256GB inbuilt storage. The smartphone will be available in Bordeaux Red and Ice Blue colour variants in India. Notably, a Rs. 3,000 Flipkart voucher was promised to those who pre-order the Oppo Find X on Flipkart. It is also worth noting that Oppo has included the 3730mAh battery with VOOC fast charging on the India variant of Find X, instead of the 3400mAh battery with Super VOOC Flash Charge seen in the 256GB storage China variant that's also known as the Super Flash variant.

Oppo Find X First Impressions

When it comes to the features of Oppo Find X, the key highlight of the smartphone is its motorised slider that hides the phone's cameras similar to the Vivo Nex. But, the major difference here is that the Oppo Find X hides both the selfie camera and the rear camera setup, while the Vivo Nex hides only the former. Apart from that, Oppo has also introduced a new O-Face Recognition technology that uses 3D structured light and 15,000 dot projection for facial scanning, and is claimed to be 20 times safer than fingerprint recognition. There is no fingerprint sensor on board, so this is the only biometric option users have to unlock the smartphone.
