Chinese smartphone manufacturer Oppo has launched another limited edition of FC Barcelona Edition of the F3 exclusively at Gitex.
During the same period last year, the company launched its P1 Plus limited edition.
The F3 smartphone comes in red colour and has an 18K gold-plated logo of the club. It is priced at Dh1,699. The normal phone is priced at Dh1,099.
User interface customisations are in typical blue and red stripes, same colour of the team’s jersey.
Mohammad Naoufel Madih, marketing manager at Oppo, told Gulf News that only 5,000 units have been made globally and only 100 units are available for the GCC and 250 units for North Africa.
The company experimented with R7 Plus Barcelona Edition in 2015 and sold 5,000 units globally.
Madih said that Oppo has provided wallpaper with the team’s colours for diehard Barcelona fans. There’s also a ringtone with the FC Barcelona anthem and some apps with unique FCB-themed icons for Calendar, Theme Store, Contacts and Photos app.
The fourth largest smartphone manufacturer said that people even came looking for the limited piece after the complete sell-out.
The selfie-focused F3 has a 5.5-inch Full HD display with a screen resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. The device is powered by an octa-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm processor and backed by 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, which can be expanded up to 128GB via microSD card slot.
The front houses the 16MP camera and an 8MP with 120-degree wide-angle view while it has a 13MP shooter on the rear.
