Oppo Find X India Launch Set for Today, How to Watch Live Stream

Oppo Find X is all set to be launched in India today, at an event in New Delhi. To recall, the flagship smartphone was globally unveiled at a Paris event last month, and the Oppo Find X boasted of a novel motorised camera slider mechanism that houses both the front and rear cameras. The aim behind the design decision was to minimise bezels on the display, a trend that has seen choices like the display notch, a front camera on the bottom panel, and even a pop-up front camera. Other highlights of the Oppo Find X include 3D facial recognition, AI-based camera features like a front portrait mode, the top-end Snapdragon 845 SoC, 8GB of RAM, 256GB of inbuilt storage, an all-glass body, as well as fast charging. The launch will be live streamed from 1pm IST, and you can catch the live stream below.

Oppo Find X price

At its launch in Paris, the Oppo Find X price was set at EUR 999 (roughly Rs. 79,000) for its 8GB RAM, 256GB storage variant, known as the Super Flash edition in China, with availability in August. In China, the 8GB RAM, 128GB storage variant was priced at CNY 4,999 (roughly Rs. 51,400). We can expect a similar price point for the smartphone in India, and a release date towards the end of July seems probable, if not in August itself. Oppo is not expected to bring the Oppo Find X Automobili Lamborghini Edition to India, with its limited availability, exorbitant price tag, and almost exotic specifications like 512GB of inbuilt storage and Super VOOC Flash Charge that takes just 35 minutes to fully charge the battery onboard.

As we mentioned, the Oppo Find X sports a motorised camera slider that contains both the front and rear cameras, and rises when needed, including to unlock the smartphone using 3D facial recognition.
