Commenting on the launch, Goldee Patnaik, Head of Communications, OPPO India, said, “The F Series has earned its reputation as India’s Durable Champion, a smartphone that is built for real life. The F33 series keeps that promise and raises the bar by adding a segment-best 50MP Ultra-Wide Selfie Camera with 100° FOV and a suite of AI imaging features. Our effort is that durability and great photography are not a trade-off. You should not have to choose between a phone that survives a monsoon trek and one that captures every face in the group, shot at the top. The F33 Series does both, and we believe that is exactly what India’s mobile-first generation deserves.“

Segment-Best Selfie Camera with Smart Auto-Switch to 0.6x

OPPO’s Selfie Champion, the F33 Series, comes with a 50MP Ultra-Wide Front Camera with 100° Field of View, the widest and highest-resolution selfie camera in its segment. Equipped with EIS, autofocus, and the GC50F6 sensor (f/2.0, 18mm focal length, 5P lens), it captures approximately 30% more area at a one-metre distance compared to previous-generation framing, meaning more faces, more context, and more of the moment without anyone getting cropped out.

The F33 Pro’s camera intelligence goes beyond resolution. OPPO’s AI Groupfie Expert automatically widens to 0.6x the moment more than two faces enter the frame, no tap, no fumble, no missed moment. A face distortion correction algorithm simultaneously tracks up to six subjects, preserving natural proportions even at the edges of a 100° field of view. The result is group selfies that feel effortless, whether you’re packed into a rooftop in Jaipur or stretched across a viewpoint in Coorg.

Rounding out the front camera system is a Colourful Front Fill Light. The multi-colour flash delivers soft, skin-tone-friendly illumination in place of a standard white flash, particularly effective in low-light scenarios where most front cameras struggle. Selfies come out looking naturally lit, not flashed.

The rear system is anchored by a 50MP main camera built around the OV50D40 sensor a pairing that brings genuine detail retention to everyday shooting. Images hold up under cropping and reframing, making the camera as useful for reviewing a document on a client visit as it is for capturing an unplanned moment on a weekend trip. A 2MP depth camera works in the background, giving the ISP enough spatial data to render convincing portrait bokeh without manual input.

Studio-Quality Edits, Made Easy

The F33 Series introduces AI Editor, expanding OPPO’s on-device creative toolkit to make photo editing simpler and more intuitive. At its core is AI Portrait Glow, which intelligently analyses each scene and automatically applies the most suitable lighting style, whether Natural Light, Flashlight, Rim Light, or Studio Light, so portraits look balanced and flattering even in challenging conditions.

OPPO’s Popout feature takes creativity further. By combining multiple photos into a single composition, it lets subjects literally step out of the frame, adding depth, dimension, and a visual punch that is hard to achieve without dedicated editing software. The results go straight from the gallery to social media.

Building on OPPO’s existing AI photography strengths, the series continues to offer familiar tools such as AI Recompose, AI Perfect Shot, AI Livephoto 2.0, AI Best Face, AI Unblur, AI Studio, AI Reflection Remover, and AI Eraser, allowing users to refine, enhance, and reframe moments effortlessly. Together, these features deliver a seamless, AI-first editing experience that helps users get share-ready results with minimal effort.

Moreover, Dual-View Video solves a problem every video creator knows: choosing between the moment and the reaction to it. By recording front and rear cameras simultaneously into one combined clip, the F33 Series removes that trade-off entirely, making it as capable of a storytelling device as it is a photography one.

Design Reimagined: Craftsmanship at Every Angle

The F33 Pro 5G debuts the Starry Sea Lens Module, the most significant visual redesign in F Series history. Inspired by night stars in a quiet forest, sparkling sand accents within the module create a shimmering, radiant glow. Two bold circular lenses sit in a clean vertical stack inside a large, flush, rounded-rectangular island alongside a distinctive ring-flash element.

At the structural level, the F33 Series is the first smartphone in its segment to feature a One-Piece Cold Carving build that creates seamless high-gloss camera platform contrasted by a matte soft-touch surround, all tied together by a skin-friendly hard coating on a single unibody piece.

This series features a 6.57-inch flat AMOLED display with 120Hz Smart Adaptive Refresh, 1400 nits’ local peak brightness, 93.5% screen-to-body ratio, 1.7mm ultra-thin bezels, and AGC DT-STAR D+ screen protection. The Pro variant comes in three colourways: Misty Forest, with an industry-first Dynamic 3D Depth coating that shifts visual depth with movement; Passion Red, inspired by supercar metal finishes; and Starry Blue, a deep, moonlit finish that sits calm and timeless in hand. The OPPO F33 is available in Pearl White and Forest Green.

Durability Champion: IP69K and 360-Degree Armour Body

The OPPO F33 Series carries the highest waterproof certification in its segment: IP69K + IP68 + IP66. Certified against high-pressure water jets, hot water up to 85°C, 10,000+ immersion cycles, and up to 12 hours of full immersion, the device is engineered to withstand 36 real-world water scenarios from monsoon rain and poolside splashes to steam and everyday cleaning solutions.

Beneath the surface, the F33 Series is protected by a Damage-Proof 360-Degree Armour Body comprising of Aerospace-Grade AM04 Alloy an ultra-high-strength aluminium alloy originally developed for aerospace applications, delivering 10% greater strength than its predecessor AM03, Multi-Layer Airbag Cushioning around critical components that act as micro shock absorbers during drops and 7 MIL-STD-810H Military Standard certifications covering extreme temperatures, humidity, rain, dust, salt mist, and sustained vibration.

Performance: Smooth, Smart, Secure, and Built for India’s Heat

Both devices are powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6360 MAX (6nm) processor paired with up to 12GB LPDDR4X RAM. The 4,289mm² SuperCool Vapor Chamber System maintains smooth performance up to 40°C (SGS certified), supporting up to 4 hours of uninterrupted video calls and navigation through third-party apps at up to 45°C, essential for India’s peak summer conditions.

ColorOS 16: AI That Works for You with Google Gemini

The F33 Series ships with ColorOS 16, bringing flagship-grade AI and productivity features to the mid-range segment for the first time. Backed by the All-new Trinity Engine and the Luminous Rendering Engine that delivers 22% improvement in overall smoothness, 26% faster app installation, 50% faster album loading, and 18% faster control response.

OPPO also offers a 72-Month Fluency Protection system that ensures like-new performance for up to six years, while the industry-first Quick Switch Bar (App Hub) by Outdoor Mode consolidates the most-used apps into a single productivity hub.

ColorOS 16 brings OPPO’s AI features, tools like AI Ultra Clear Document Scanner, one-click document scanning with AI enhancement for text sharpness, defect removal, noise reduction, and curve correction, AI Recorder automatically generates summaries, and AI Writer assists with writing across Notes and social apps. Deep integration with Google Gemini enables natural language commands to control everyday functions like Circle to Search, Settings, Calendar, and Clock. Deep integration with Google Gemini enables natural language commands to control everyday functions like Settings, Calendar, and Clock.

Reliable Connectivity

India’s first JIO-certified 5G++ smartphone, the F33 Series, leverages 5G carrier aggregation for faster speeds, stronger stability, and a 100%–200% improvement in signal strength through the Hunter Antenna Architecture verified by TÜV Rheinland High Network-Performance certification.

Additionally, Quick Switch Bar on the OPPO F33 series is an industry-first App Hub designed to enhance productivity by housing a user’s most-used apps and tasks in one unified location. Included as part of the device’s Outdoor Mode, this feature allows for instant access and seamless switching between applications, facilitating smoother multitasking with fewer interruptions.

Direct-to-Mobile is a breakthrough Next-Generation Broadcasting technology that delivers OTT & live TV, video, audio, and text messages directly to mobile phones without requiring Wi-Fi or internet service. This aligns with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision for Viksit Bharat (economic transformation of India) and supports the ‘Make in India’ and ‘Design in India’ initiatives.

Tejas Networks powers low-cost feature phones, smartphones, and tablets, giving a boost to the ‘Make in India’ and ‘Design in India’ efforts. Prasar Bharati, in collaboration with IIT Kanpur and Tejas Networks, has been extensively testing this technology in live networks for several years.

On this occasion, Ravi Kunwar, VP and CEO, HMD India and APAC, expressed, “HMD has always been committed to staying ahead of the innovation curve and delivering the best consumer experience. With this philosophy at the core of our mission, we’re excited to be a part of the D2M journey. This groundbreaking, first-of-its-kind platform worldwide enables our consumers to access a vast array of multimedia content.”

Sumeet Nindrajog, Director of FreeStream Technologies, said, “D2M is a technology that can transform how content & data gets consumed by the end users, and the commitment from companies like HMD to establish the foundation for a robust device ecosystem is instrumental for our nationwide deployment strategy. Their ability to supply devices at scale demonstrates strong confidence in D2M’s future success.”

Parag Naik, co-founder of erstwhile Saankhya Labs and Executive Vice President, Tejas Networks, said, “The phones are powered by Saankhya Labs’ award-winning SL-3000 chipset, the foundational D2M enabler. We have also developed the Core Network platform that will enable delivery of targeted Ads, CDN offload, educational content, emergency alerts, and other apps that will empower consumers furthering PM Modi’s vision of a digitally empowered India. Our collaboration with HMD has truly been path-breaking, and we truly expect the best out of it.”

Chris Ripley, President and CEO, Sinclair, Inc., expressed, “Large-scale adoption of ATSC 3.0 in affordable mobile devices vindicates Sinclair’s forethought in leading US and global deployment of this broadcast standard as ‘mobile first’ and in investing in Made by India technology.  To meet future 6G goals, we are spearheading the next release of the standard – “Broadcast to everything” (B2X), which will unleash next-generation broadcast apps for numerous verticals. We are proud to have companies like HMD as our partners in this initiative.”

The implementation of D2M technology will enable Indian consumers to access entertainment, sports, educational programming, and emergency alerts directly on their mobile devices through terrestrial TV broadcast airwaves. This technology has been under development and testing in India for several years, with HMD now positioning itself as one of the first device manufacturers ready to bring this capability to market.

LONDON: PPO, the world’s leading smart device brand, announced the global availability of its flagship, the Find N2 Flip on 15^th February 2023. The foldable smartphone combines the largest cover screen of its kind with best-in-class battery life and the fastest charging speeds on any flip phone.

The OPPO Find N2 Flip’s large 6.8-inch E6 AMOLED display is perfectly tuned to let you enjoy multimedia and games. Its cinematic 21:9 aspect ratio and 1600 nits of brightness make for immersive movie watching, while its 120Hz refresh rate makes for a smooth user experience.

The Best Flip Phone Camera

Find N2 Flip’s flagship 50MP main camera features a large Sony IMX890 sensor, with a large-aperture f/1.8 lens for incredible imaging.

You can see more and confidently capture snapshots as the largest cover screen of any flip phone gives you the clearest selfie preview available. And if you are taking a friend’s photo or video, fire up Dual Preview so they can see how they look.

The Find N2 Flip’s 17:9 aspect ratio cover screen sports the same vertical orientation as your phone’s camera sensor to keep cropping to a minimum and work as the perfect viewfinder to capture incredible selfies. 

Unlock even more creativity with FlexForm Mode—made possible by the New Flexion Hinge—as the Find N2 Flip holds its position mid-fold between 45º and 110º for waist-level dynamic angles and ultra-crisp 4K time-lapse video.

The FlexForm Mode also turns your flip phone into a tripod-steady, hands-free camera. Just part-fold it, place it on a surface and then trigger the shutter release with an open palm gesture – perfect for group shots with its powerful 32MP selfie camera. With its Sony IMX709 sensor and wide-angle lens, the FlexForm mode enables even better video calls on apps like WhatsApp and Zoom.

The OPPO Find N2 Flip is fine-tuned to capture pro-grade colors co-developed with the legendary camera manufacturer Hasselblad. Its full-featured Pro mode and Hasselblad-inspired XPAN mode open creative opportunities for imaging enthusiasts. 

Much more than just a photography champion, the Find N2 Flip’s in-house imaging NPU, MariSilicon X, boosts night video to capture ultra-clear 4K footage in low light, and you can even hold the phone part-folded and sideways, just like a camcorder for a steadier grip.

Tested to over 4,00,000 folds

The Find N2 Flip’s Flexion Hinge works with the folding display to enable new user experiences and an almost-invisible crease. Robust in its simplicity, the updated Flexion hinge creates more space to accommodate a larger cover display and a higher-capacity, faster-charging battery. 

OPPO has redesigned its new Flexion Hinge to guide the screen into the gentlest folding angle possible to create a water drop shape fold that results in a significantly shallower, narrower crease than other flip phones. Almost invisible in most environments, the crease offers an uncompromised flat-screen experience.

The OPPO Find N2 Flip is TÜV Rheinland certified to withstand 4,00,000-fold and unfolds – the equivalent of opening and closing the phone 100 times daily for more than ten years. Under extreme conditions ranging from -20 degrees C to 50 degrees C and 95 per cent humidity, the OPPO Find N2 Flip has been tested to surpass over 1,00,000-fold and unfold cycles. 

The Longest Lasting and Fastest Charging Flip Phone

The OPPO Find N2 Flip sets a new benchmark for flip phones with a massive 4,300mAh battery. Its long-lasting battery is the result of continuous efforts to redesign everything from the hinge to the SIM tray to accommodate more space. 

OPPO has worked closely with MediaTek to create a battery-optimized Dimensity 9000+ chipset for the Find N2 Flip. These efforts result in one more hour of video calling, two more hours of social media, and five more hours of music streaming than other popular flip phones.

Its 44W SUPERVOOC^TM charging takes away battery anxiety by charging the phone from zero to a hundred in less than an hour. A 23-minute top-off delivers a 50 percent charge. 

Speaking about the device, Damyant Singh Khanoria, Chief Marketing Officer, OPPO India said, “The Find N2 Flip is the culmination of years of R&D at OPPO to strike the right balance between cutting-edge features, and everyday usability. The minimal design combined with the largest cover screen ever on a flip phone is essential to giving users more choices in how they use their foldable phone. Additionally, innovations like the largest battery ever in a flip phone, OPPO’s SUPERVOOC^TM ensures that users no longer have to compromise. We believe the Find N2 Flip is perfectly positioned to create an inflection point and will be critical to the growth of the foldable category in India and the world.“

The OPPO Find N2 Flip marks a new era for foldable phones through sheer refinement, all-day longevity, fast charging, and a completely redesigned hinge assembly guaranteed to last a decade. The all-day power and fast charging, Find N2 Flip marks the start of a new chapter for foldable and smartphones at large.
