Chinese technology brand Oppo is all set to launch its K3 smartphone in India today. Oppo K3 will be launched at an event that is scheduled for 6 pm IST and it is going to be available in Purple and Black gradient finishes. The handset was launched in China in May this year and its key highlights include a pop-up selfie camera and an in-display fingerprint scanner.
The price and the availability of the Oppo K3 in India will be announced at the launch event today. The company had set up a dedicated page for Oppo K3 on Amazon India, so it can be assumed that the handset will exclusively be available via the e-commerce website and Oppo’s online store. In fact, the page on Amazon India teases all the features of Oppo K3 and will begin taking registrations of interests today prior to the launch of the smartphone.
