Chinese smartphone manufacturer Oppo on Friday officially launched new Rose Gold colour variant of its selfie-focused “Oppo F3” smartphone in the Indian tech market at a price tag of Rs. 19,990. If you don’t remember, the Oppo F3 was first launched in India in the month of May this year only in Gold colour option. One month after the launch, the company launched a new Black colour variant of the smartphone and now the Chinese vendor has introduced a luscious Rose Gold variant in the country. With the new Rose Gold shade, the Oppo F3 will now be available in three attractive body colour options including Rose Gold, Black and Gold. Carried a such an attractive price tag, the new Oppo F3 Rose Gold variant is now already made available for purchase in India via e-commerce website Flipkart.com as well as all leading offline retail stores across the country.
The Oppo F3 Rose Gold variant packs the perfect blend of glass and metal design, elegant looks, daintiness and luxuriousness, which are all associated with the Oppo brand. However, apart from its paint job, the rest specifications and features are same to same as we have seen in the other existing Oppo F3 models. The key highlight of the Oppo F3 is its dual front-facing camera setup, one of the camera comes with a 16-megapixel standard lens, while the other front camera features an 8-megapixel sensor with 120-degree wide-angle lens. Just like the Oppo F3 Plus front camera, “one for selfie, one for group selfie”.
Commenting on the launch, Will Yang, Brand Director, Oppo India said, “By launching the OPPO F3 Rose Gold Version, we aim to offer our Indian consumer an outstanding confluence of fashion and technology where exquisite design meets innovative camera technology. We have received a tremendous response for OPPO F3, especially from the younger audience. So, we decided to surprise them with a fashionable and trendier variant of the OPPO F3.”
