The Oppo F23 5G has launched in India today as scheduled. It acts as the successor of Oppo F19 since there was no Oppo F21 last year.
Oppo F series smartphones go by Oppo A series phones in some markets. The A series version of F23 5G went official in Malaysia last week as Oppo A98 5G.
Thus, we already knew the handset’s specs before its official announcement. As the device is finally out, let’s check out all the details, including its pricing and availability.
Oppo F23 5G Specifications
The Oppo F23 5G (aka Oppo A98 5G) looks similar to the Oppo Reno 8T 5G (review) from the back. On the front, however, it has a flat LCD panel instead of a curved OLED display.
For the unaware, the 2-year-old F19 also had an OLED display but it did not offer a 120Hz refresh rate like the F23 5G. Also, the new model’s screen is larger at 6.72 inches compared to 6.43 inches on the outgoing phone.
Further, the panel on the F23 5G comes with a centered punch-hole, 391 PPI, 240Hz refresh rate, and 680 nits peak brightness level. It is protected by Panda 1681 glass.
Under the hood, the device houses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC, which enables 5G connectivity. The predecessor was limited to 4G due to a Snapdragon 662 chip.
The chipset is paired with LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 2.2 storage. On the software front, the phone boots ColorOS 13.1 based on Android 13.
Talking about optics, there’s a triple camera system on the rear headed by a 64MP primary sensor. It is accompanied by a 2MP 20x microscope camera (up to 40x digital zoom) and a 2MP monochrome sensor. On the front, there’s a 32MP shooter.
The handset comes with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a MicroSD card slot. It also features dual stereo speakers.
The F23 5G draws energy from a 5,000mAh battery and supports 67W fast charging. Last but not least, Oppo claims that the device will offer 4 years of lag-free experience.
Oppo F23 5G Price and Availability in India
The Oppo F23 5G arrives in a single 8GB + 256GB memory configuration in India. However, it can be picked up in either Bold Gold or Cool Black color options.
The smartphone is priced at ₹24,999 (~$300) and is available for pre-order via Oppo store, Amazon, and offline retailers across the country. It will start shipping to customers on May 18.
Customers can avail of a ₹2,500 (~$30) discount on select cards. There are also other benefits, such as no-cost EMI and exchange bonus.
