Oppo to launch its Find 5 flagship smartphone in India

Yet another Chinese brand, Oppo is entering India and is planning to launch its flagship smartphone, Find 5, with specification similar to the HTC One, Sony Xperia Z and Samsung Galaxy S4.

AndroidGuruz, which will distribute the phone in India, has informed The Mobile Indian that the phone will be priced at Rs 27,445 for 16GB version and Rs 31,259 for 32GB version and will be available by end of this month.

The phone is based on Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 pro chipset with 1.5 GHz quad core processor and 2GB RAM, this is the same as the most premium phones like the ones mentioned above come with.

On the display front it will have a 5 inch IPS display panel with 1920x1080 pixel full HD resolution. The display uses OGS (one glass solution) technology for better viewing angle and readability in sun light.

In the camera department the phone comes with 13 megapixel camera which the company claims can capture 120 frames per second video about four time the normal video frame rate and can be used for super slow motion videos. The camera uses CMOS sensor and f2.2 aperture and supports HDR (high dynamic ration) for better contrast ratio.

Oppo Find 5 also uses Direct HD sound system for better audio experience. Oppo has overlaid the Android 4.2 operating system with its own user interface, which it claims adds to the phone's functionality.

In terms of connectivity phone is feature packed with NFC, DLNA, WiFi Direct (can connect with any other WiFi device wirelessly to offer same experience as HDMI), 3G, WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0 there too.

The phone is slim and compact with dimensions of 141.8 x 68.8 x 8.86 mm which compares very well with dimensions of Sony Xperia Z which comes with 139 x 71 x 7.9 mm measurement. The phone looks very attractive in a minimalist but elegant design.
International press has showered lot praise on the phone for its top notch quality and performance. However in India we feel that selling Oppo Find 5 will be a challenge as the brand is completely unknown and its Chinese origins means people will find it hard to trust the quality.

Oppo to launch smartphone to take on Xperia Z, HTC One in India
If this is true then this will be the best phone under 28k

Also it has official PA and CM support.

28k!!!!!

IMO overpriced knowing it won't have warranty and is a Chinese emerging brand ...they must learn from xiaomi how to price high end phones smartly

" All the Chinese brands will provide 3 months replacement warranty with 1 year support"

So it comes with warranty

Also Android Guruz will sell Xiaomi phones also (if they don't sellout in an hour

) in the near future.

When one can get a N4 for 25k why on earth would anyone buy a Chinese branded phone for 28k!

Cause 1080p screen and warranty?

Also better camera..

^You can always get a N4 for 27k with Serve pro warranty and confirmed updates from Google..

Or N5

Find 5 got official CM and PA SUPPORT btw.

I don't understand one thing. Every damn phone is manufactured in China with different logos like Sony, etc. attached by the Chinese. How the hell will this suddenly become a bad phone simply because they attached their own logo instead of the ones we're familiar of?

If you don't care about other people and branding, this is the best phone. (I've seen some Sony stickers here, I suggest applying that and calling it Xperia W to ye'r friends. Lawl.

Also this phone uses metal in its build which makes it better looking and handling than S4

Err. Missed it

Why these brands are wasting their time & money in India? Who's gonna buy this PoPo....sorry I mean OPPO?

No micro sd slot

but still seems a good buy. Gsmarena review suggests the cam ain't that bad either even though with 13mp it only manges to come close to 8mp cameras of competitors

If a Movie is titled as "Bhootni Ka Nach Garam Tavve Pe" even Katrina Kaif in lead can't save it. I don't think anyone in India would pay 28k for this & scream Hey look I got Oppo & this is not a grand child of Hippo! How many people in india are aware of this brand & why would they pick Oppo over SXSP, SGS3 etc?

While I agree about the lack of brand recognition, Oppo isn't your typical "China mobile". Oppo is a very respectable brand and makes reference quality bluray players. Oppo bluray players are a craze amongst the videophile community.

Still, their phones are nowhere near as great as their bluray players and this device simply won't sell at that price.

Ok it might be a great brand, even Huawei is also a very respectable brand but what about A.S.S?

Another phone to dump in india at high prize. Better go for Xperia ZL which is ahead of this in every way.

A.S.S would be a nightmare

Finding Oppo service center might prove to be as difficult as finding tickets for ""Bhootni Ka Nach Garam Tavve Pe""

hahahahaha :lol:

. koi to asli indian hai! xperia zl vs this oppo

The brand might not be well known but the phone is great and if I were to get a phone in 30k I would sure get this for the following reasons...

1.Metal build and great looks
2.Great Developer support with official PA and CM
3.As its not a common brand a unique phone which makes everyone curious about your phone

4.Also I dont care about the brand of the phone as along as it has a good dev support and a good display

Brand does matter for me atleast. Samsung, Sony, LG, Apple, HTC, these have trust of their customers. They are known throughout the world so they have to be extra-cautious to preserve their Brand name. Also, they offer handsome salaries as compared to local brands so there's a quality in their products as the engineers in their developing team are usually highly qualified. Local brands may not have such luxury so they compromise on quality. But sometimes I too get overwhelmed with the things that these local brands offer. I mean , 8MP/2MP rear/front camera at below 10k :-D

. But there we see it depends on person to person.
