Oppo is set to pull the wraps off its Find X10 series in India on 22 October, just a day after the global unveiling in Mallorca, Spain. The lineup leans heavily into camera hardware and battery size, but the number everyone's actually watching is the price tag — and early leaks suggest it will land a lot higher than the outgoing Find X9 series did a year ago.
What's Launching on October 22
According to 91mobiles, Oppo's India event is scheduled for 4:45 PM IST on October 22, bringing the Find X10 and the range-topping Find X10 Pro Max to local shelves alongside a Pad Mini and the Enco X4 earbuds. MySmartPrice reports that the two phones split on chipset and screen size: the standard Find X10 gets a 6.59-inch FHD+ display on a MediaTek Dimensity 9600M chip, while the Pro Max steps up to a larger 6.78-inch panel, a higher-tier Dimensity 9600 chipset, and an 8,000mAh battery with 80W wired charging. Both models carry a dual 200MP camera setup — a primary sensor plus a 200MP periscope telephoto, backed by a 50MP ultrawide.
The Price Question
Official pricing won't be confirmed until the event itself, but leaked retail-box labels and tipster estimates reported by Digit put the Find X10 Pro Max's maximum retail price as high as roughly Rs 2.4 lakh, with more conservative tipster guesses clustering closer to Rs 1.5-1.9 lakh for the top configuration. Even the lower end of that range is a steep jump from the Find X9 series, which launched in India at Rs 74,999 for the base model and Rs 1,09,999 for the Find X9 Pro. Some of that increase tracks with the global memory and chip cost spikes that have pushed up flagship phone pricing across the board this year — the same forces that have been nudging up laptop and desktop prices too.
Why Unboxed Makes More Sense at This Price
A freshly launched flagship always carries a premium simply for being new — a premium that tends to soften within months once review units, demo stock, and early returns enter the resale pipeline. If the Find X10 Pro Max really does land anywhere near Rs 2 lakh, the gap between a brand-new unit and a well-checked unboxed one becomes the kind of money that actually changes a buying decision, not just a rounding error. Shoppers comparing options in our mobile phones collection get the same core hardware with a 6-month brand warranty, without paying for the launch-week markup. Orders above Rs 5,000 ship free, with 1-2 days of processing and 7-10 business days of delivery, and every unit is checked before it goes out — record an unboxing video on delivery, since that's what covers you if a phone arrives with transit damage.
Laid out plainly, the trade-off on a launch-week flagship like this one comes down to a few concrete differences:
- Price gap: the same hardware generation, typically available for noticeably less once the launch-week premium has worn off.
- Warranty: unboxed phones still carry a 6-month brand warranty, so the cost saving isn't coming at the expense of coverage.
- Inspection: every unit is checked before dispatch, with an unboxing video covering you against transit damage.
- Exit option: Get Like New's buyback program will take the phone back for 80% of the purchase price within 15 days if it isn't a fit.
This isn't a phone-only calculation, either. The same memory and component pressure driving flagship phone prices up has been doing the same to premium laptops through 2026, which is exactly why a lot of shoppers who'd normally buy new — whether they're after a student laptop or a business laptop — are now looking at our unboxed laptops collection for the same brand-warranty, lower-markup trade-off on the computing side.
