OPPO F23 5G Phone: Price, Availability, and Launch Offer
OPPO has launched the F23 5G in India in a single memory variant — 8 GB RAM with 256 GB internal storage — priced at Rs 24,999. The phone goes on sale from May 18 in two colour options: Bold Gold and Cool Black. Buyers can also avail an extra 10 percent discount on purchases made using ICICI Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, HDFC, and SBI Cards, making it even more attractive for first-time buyers.
Storage can be expanded via a microSD card up to 1 TB, so you will never run out of space for photos, videos, and apps.
Display and Design
The OPPO F23 5G sports a large 6.72-inch Full HD+ punch-hole display with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels. The panel is an LCD type running at a smooth 120 Hz refresh rate and a 240 Hz touch-sampling rate, ensuring fluid scrolling and responsive gaming. Brightness tops out at 680 nits, and pixel density sits at a sharp 391 ppi. The screen is protected by Panda Glass, adding durability to everyday use.
Performance: Processor, RAM, and Software
Under the hood, the OPPO F23 5G runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 octa-core processor clocked at 2.2 GHz, paired with an Adreno 619 GPU for graphics. The phone ships with Android 13 topped by ColorOS 13.1.
One of its standout features is Smart RAM Expansion, which allows the physical 8 GB RAM to be virtually extended up to 16 GB, giving demanding apps and games more headroom to run without stuttering.
Camera System: 64MP Rear and 32MP Selfie
Photography is a key selling point of the OPPO F23 5G. The rear camera array consists of three sensors:
- 64 MP primary sensor with F/1.7 aperture
- 2 MP mono lens with F/2.4 aperture
- 2 MP micro sensor with F/3.3 aperture and 40x Microlens capability for extreme close-up shots
On the front, a 32 MP selfie camera with F/2.4 aperture handles video calls and portraits with impressive detail.
Battery and Fast Charging
A 5,000 mAh battery keeps the OPPO F23 5G running through a full day of use. It supports 67W fast charging, which the company says can charge the battery from 0 to 50% in just 18 minutes and from 0 to 100% in 48 minutes. Even more useful is the claim that a mere 5 minutes of charging delivers 6 hours of calling time — ideal for those always on the move.
5G Connectivity and Durability
The phone supports 13 5G bands, making it compatible with both Jio and Airtel 5G networks across India. It also holds an IP54 certification, protecting it against dust and water splashes for everyday peace of mind.
