Oppo, the China-based smartphone manufacturer has announced a price cut of Rs. 2,000 (around $31) on Oppo F3 phone in India. After the price cut, the device is now available for purchase in at a price of Rs. 16,990 (approximately $266).

To recall, the Oppo F3 was launched in India earlier this year in May for Rs. 19,990, which roughly converts to $313. However, the phone had earlier received a price cut of Rs. 1,000 in September, bringing down its effective price to Rs. 18,990 (approximately $297). Currently, the phone is available in India in two colour options — Gold and Black.

As the name itself suggests, the Oppo F3 is a toned-down and more affordable model compared to its bigger sibling Oppo F3 Plus. The phone features a 5.5-inch Full HD In-Cell 2.5D curved display with 1920 x 1080 pixels screen resolution. The display is protected from the minor scratches by a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on top.

Under the hood, the device is powered by 1.5GHz MediaTek MT6750T octa-core processor, coupled with Mali-T860 GPU, 4GB RAM and 64GB of onboard storage. There is also a microSD card slot which allows users to further expand storage capacity up to 128GB.

The highlight of the phone is its dual-selfie camera setup on the front side. The device features a 16-megapixel primary snapper along with an 8-megapixel wide-angle secondary camera. It comes with several software features such as Smart Facial Recognition, Beautify 4.0, Selfie Panorama, Screen Flash, among others.

Roses are red and so are these phones too. Manufacturers have been more experimental with colors this year. Rather than the boring gold, old gray, and classic black, we have seen phones launch in different shades of blue, green, pink, and red.

Of all the new colors, it is the red variants that actually stand out. Pull out a red phone from your pocket and you will definitely get people asking questions. It has always been the color that stuns and catches attention – that’s why it is easy to remember the lady with the red lipstick, red dress, or red car.

This post is a list of our favorite red phones released this year and is not in order of preference.

iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus (Product) RED Special Edition

The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus originally launched in Jet Black, Black, Silver, Gold, and Rose Gold. Then in March of this year, Apple partnered with (PRODUCT)^RED , a non-profit organisation that raises funds for the awareness and elimination of HIV/AIDS in Africa, to release both phones in red.

The reception in China was massive. JD.com is reported to have recorded nearly 500,000 reservations ahead of the March 24 release date.

OPPO F3 Red/OPPO F3 Diwali Edition

When the OPPO F3 was released in May, it was available in Gold and Rose Gold. However, a Facebook post by the manufacturer’s Philippines’s branch teased a red variant set for release in August.

The red variant has gold antenna lines instead of silver and the OPPO  is also written in gold. A similar variant was released in India in October to celebrate the Diwali festival.

Xiaomi Mi 5X

The Xiaomi Mi 5X is a mid-range smartphone but with flagship cameras. It was originally released in black, gold, and rose pink when it launched in July. Xiaomi then announced a new red variant for it last month.

If you can get your hands on this red variant, good for you as the Mi 5X is the same phone as the Android One Mi A1. However, markets where the Mi A1 are sold only have it in gold, rose gold, and black.

Meizu M6 Note Red/M6 Note One Piece

The Meizu M6 Note was well received when it launched. It is the manufacturer’s first smartphone to be powered by a Snapdragon processor and also packs dual cameras. The phone already looked stunning with its quad-LED flash and Peacock Blue variant, then Meizu dropped a fiery hot Flame Red variant and a One Piece Special Edition variant.

Xperia XZ Premium Rosso

If you dislike Sony’s thick bezel design, it is understandable, but you can’t deny that the Xperia XZ Premium Rosso is enthralling. The new color variant was announced last month and should make a good holiday gift for yourself or that special person.

OPPO R11S

The OPPO R11S is the second OPPO phone on this list. It is one of the full-screen smartphones the manufacturer has launched in recent weeks.

Announced in Black and Champagne gold, OPPO also released a special red variant. One cool feature of the red variant is the way the red seems to bleed from the back into the bezels in front.

Smartisan Nut Pro 2

The Smartisan Nut Pro 2 is one of my personal favorites this year. Not only does it have impressive specs but it kills the competition with its gorgeous design and pricing.

The Nut Pro 2 looks good in black and gold, but it’s the red variant that shines the most.

Samsung Galaxy S8 Burgundy Red

The Galaxy S8 is the oldest Android phone on this list but also one of the best. It launched in Midnight Black, Orchid Gray, Arctic Silver, Coral Blue, and Maple Gold but Samsung has also added a Rose Pink variant, and more recently Burgundy Red.

Some of these colors are exclusive to certain markets. The Burgundy Red for example is available in South Korea only but we hope Samsung launches it in more countries.

OnePlus 5T Red Lava

OnePlus launched the 5T in China today but unlike other countries that get the phone in Midnight Black, China also gets a Red Lava variant. The Red OnePlus 5T is to mark the 4th anniversary of the smartphone company.

This is OnePlus’s first red phone and it is love at first sight.

Honor V10

The OnePlus 5T is not the only full-screen smartphone that launched in China today. Honor also took the wraps off its V10 flagship.

The Honor V10 has got a lot going for it. It packs nearly all the features of the Huawei Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro and at a much lesser price. It also comes in a beautiful red variant which we totally love.

OPPO F3 and R11/R11 Plus are the major smartphones that the company has released so far in this year. The Chinese manufacturer will be launching OPPO F5 to succeed the OPPO F3 on Oct. 26. Fresh information suggests that the company is also working on enhanced versions of OPPO R11 and R11 Plus. The rumor mill has leaked the alleged schematics of OPPO R11S/R11S Plus.

The above image reveals that the OPPO R11S and R11S would be sporting a full screen design with an elongated display. This indicates that the R11S duo would be delivering an aspect ratio of 18:9. These phones are expected to feature 6-inch Samsung OLED screens that will support QHD+ resolution of 2,880 x 1,440 pixels.

The OPPO R11 and R11 Plus feature front-mounted fingerprint reader. However, the R11S and R11S Plus are expected to be enabled with rear-mounted fingerprint reader as these devices will not have enough space to feature it on the front, thanks to the large-sized display.

Some rumors had claimed that the OPPO R11S and R11S would be coming with dual selfie cameras, but the above schematics shows that it may feature they will be housing a single selfie snapper. The rear view of the design of OPPO R11S/R11S Plus suggests that they appear very similar to the OPPO R11/R11 Plus.

Even though the above schematics of the R11S/R11S Plus phones show the presence of a headphone jack, speculations claim that it may not feature a 3.5mm audio jack. The bottom side of the phone also features a USB-C port.

The original OPPO R11 and R11 Plus are powered by Snapdragon 660 chipset. Speculations have it that the OPPO R11S will be fueled by Snapdragon 660 and the R11S Plus will be an advanced model with Snapdragon 835 and 6 GB of RAM present inside it. The Snapdragon 801 driven OPPO Find 7 from 2014 is the last flagship phone. Since then the company has mainly focused on releasing mid-range devices. Hence, the OPPO R11S is unlikely to feature the Snapdragon 835 SoC. The dual camera system fitted on the OPPO R11S and R11S Plus is speculated to include 0.9μm 24-megapixel Samsung S5K2X7 sensor as one of the lenses.

The Chinese sources have also revealed that the OPPO R11S may arrive with a pricing of 2,999 Yuan (~$455) in China. The advanced R11S is speculated to cost 3,499 Yuan (~$531) in the country. The company may unveil the OPPO R11S and R11S Plus on Nov. 2.

In May, OPPO had unveiled the OPPO F3 selfie-centric smartphones with dual front-facing cameras. The Chinese manufacturer seems to be prepping up on a successor phone for OPPO F3  as a promotional image of OPPO F5 has surfaced.

As it can be seen in the above image, the poster of the OPPO F5 features a Filipino actor named Alden Richards. In the other image, a Filipino singer Sarah Geronimo can be seen endorsing the smartphone. The promotional posters were spotted at the SM Megamall in Manila, Philippines. The OPPO F5 can be seen in red and black colors.

The image suggests that the OPPO F5 is equipped with a single camera on its rear panel. Like the predecessor phone, the OPPO F5 sports dual selfie snappers. Hence, the phone is dubbed as “Selfie Expert” and it also carries the text “Capture the real you” which suggests the selfie snapping prowess of the smartphone. It is likely that the smartphone may come with advanced face beautifying features.

By the way, what happened to OPPO F4? Well, many Chinese smartphone makers prefer to skip the number 4 from the moniker of their devices because it is considered as a bad omen. Hence, it is likely that the company may not launch a OPPO F4 phone.

In the above Instagram video, the Philippines brand ambassador of the company can be seen showing off the OPPO F5 phone. The rear panel of the smartphone features a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner that is surrounded by a golden ring. The OPPO logo below it has a golden hue.

The predecessor OPPO F3 phone has a front-facing fingerprint reader. The probable reason behind incorporating the biometric security feature on the rear panel is OPPO F5 could be housing an elongated display. This could be reason why it does not house a fingerprint sensor on the frontside.

It appears that the OPPO F5 has a 6-inch display that supports a full HD+ resolution of 2,880 x 1,440 pixels and produces an aspect ratio of 18:9. Other specifications of the smartphone are under the wraps.

The OPPO F3 Plus sells for Rs. 30,990 (~$482) in India. The F3 which has a smaller screen and a MediaTek processor will definitely sell for less but may just be a little shy of $400. That’s expensive for a mid-range phone and a lot to shell out for a phone that will launch with Android 6.0. Official launch date is May 4, let’s hope OPPO announces when a Nougat update will be available too.

OPPO has scheduled March 23 as the day it unveils its OPPO F3 and OPPO F3 Plus smartphones. Both devices are going to launch with dual front cameras, taking the “Selfie Expert” tag to another level. The larger variant, the F3 Plus has showed up on GFXBench.

Like a previous spec sheet leak we saw last week, the OPPO F3 Plus comes with a 6-inch full HD display. There is 4GB of RAM on board and it is paired with 64GB of built-in storage. The OPPO F3 Plus is powered by the Snapdragon 653 SoC and the Adreno 510 GPU.

The GFXBench listing reveals the rear camera as a 15MP(16MP) sensor and only shows one of the front cameras which is another 16MP sensor. While the device does pack some impressive specs, the disappointment comes in the version of OS the F3 Plus comes with it. Instead of the more recent Android Nougat 7.0 (or 7.1), OPPO has installed its own custom version of Android 6.0 Marshmallow on the device.

OPPO‘s upcoming F3 and F3 Plus smartphones first appeared in some of OPPO’s stores’ promotional posters in the Philippines and the device was finally officially confirmed for launch on March 23 recently. Ahead of the launch taking place next week, another leak has surfaced surrounding the F3. This time around, the retail box casing of the OPPO F3 Plus and two promotional posters for the F3 and F3 Plus have surfaced online.

The OPPO F3 Plus along with the F3 is expected to come with dual selfie cameras and the retail box confirms the existence of dual cameras on the F3. While the new feature is a standout feature, it is not coming as much of a surprise because fellow BBK subsidiary Vivo did release the Vivo V5 and V5 Plus last year with dual selfie shooters on the V5 Plus. Just that this time around, both the F3 and F3 Plus are touted as sporting dual cameras. We are not sure if only the F3 Plus will finally feature dual cameras, anyway.

OPPO seems to have a couple of new smartphones in the works which would hit the market soon. That is if the rumor emanating from the Philippines is anything to go by. A pair of OPPO smartphones named OPPO F3 and F3 Plus were recently spotted in an ad poster somewhere in the Philippines.

In case you don’t know, the Philippines is one of OPPO’s stronghold as the Chinese brand is very popular in the country. The smartphones’ names mean they belong to the F-series which are better known by the alias “Selfie Expert”. But this time around, the F3 and F3 Plus looks set to take that selfie expertise of the F-series to a different plane, with the poster indicating that they would pack dual selfie cameras.

Another interesting fact gathered from the poster is the presence of South Korean singer G-Dragon who seem to have endorsed the smartphones. Apart from the picture of him holding who should be one of the two smartphones, his autograph and name are also crested onto the poster. G-Dragon and his band, the Big Band are popular in the Philippines, so the likelihood of all these being real is big.

OPPO’s previous antecedent when the R9 Plus was spotted in a poster inside an airport in China long before it was announced perhaps further lends credence to the chances of these being real. We hope to see more details especially on the specs and launch date, in the coming days.
