OPPO F35 series reportedly launching in India in October, leaked designs reveal A7 Pro series connection
OPPO is preparing to expand its F-series lineup in India with the F35 and F35 Pro. The company has already confirmed that the F35 series is coming to the country, following a teaser that revealed the series name and 5G connectivity. Now, leaked images shared by Gizmochina provide a look at the designs and colour options of both phones. The images also offer some clues about how closely the upcoming F35 models could be related to OPPO’s Chinese A7 Pro series.
OPPO F35 series design leaked
The leaked image shows six colour options in total for the OPPO F35 series. The OPPO F35 Pro is shown in brown, orange and light blue, while the standard F35 appears in pink, silver and purple. OPPO is also using different rear finishes, including a floral-style pattern on the pink model and a wave-like design on the light-blue variants.

The design similarities with the A7 Pro series are noticeable. The OPPO F35 Pro’s rear camera module closely resembles the one seen on the A7 Pro Max, with two large cameras on the left, two smaller circular elements and a flash arranged inside a broad, rounded rectangular island. The light-blue F35 Pro also appears to use a similar wave-like rear finish to the A7 Pro Max.
The standard OPPO F35, meanwhile, looks closer to the A7 Pro. Its leaked design features two large circular cameras placed side by side in a horizontal camera bar, along with a third circular element for the flash. The pink F35 also has a floral pattern that resembles the pink A7 Pro shown alongside the leaked F35 images. These similarities lend weight to earlier reports that the F35 series could be based on, or reworked from, the A7 Pro lineup for India.
OPPO F35 series specifications and India launch timeline
OPPO is expected to launch the F35 series in India in October, with India tipped to be the first market to receive the phones. Other markets could follow later. The F35 Pro is reportedly the more ambitious model, with a possible 10,000mAh battery, 6.78-inch 1.5K LTPS OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, Snapdragon 4 Gen 5 chipset and UFS 3.1 storage. A 50MP primary camera and 50MP autofocus front camera have also been tipped, along with IP66, IP68 and IP69K ratings.
The reported Rs 40,000-Rs 45,000 price would be a significant increase over the OPPO F33 Pro‘s Rs 37,999 launch price. It would also put the F35 Pro against phones such as the Vivo S2 and Motorola Edge 70 Pro. Meanwhile, phones including the POCO X8 Power and Realme P4 Power offer 10,000mAh batteries at lower prices.
For buyers, the F35 Pro will need more than its reported 10,000mAh battery to justify a Rs 40,000-plus price. Its charging speed, camera performance and chipset will be important factors, so waiting for OPPO’s official October announcement would be the safer choice.
