Oppo Find X India Launch Expected on July 12

Oppo has finally sent out official invites for a launch event on July 12 in India, and it is expected to launch the Oppo Find X smartphone at the event.

Other key highlights of the Oppo Find X smartphone include a Snapdragon 845 SoC, 8GB of RAM, and 3D facial scanning.
The pricing and availability of the Oppo Find X in India will be revealed at the event.

A limited Oppo Find X Automobili Lamborghini Edition was also launched at the event, and it has 512GB storage, carbon fibre back, and Super VOOC Flash Charge. This version is priced at EUR 1,699 (roughly Rs. 1,34,400). It is uncertain whether both the variants will make it to the country, or only the base variant.
