Weāre going to take these specs with a pinch of salt as the source, Oppomart.com, are known for posting specs ahead of a phones launch just to boost traffic, but perhaps they have some insider knowledge this time around?

Oppo management’s must be really greedy! What are they thinking!? $499 for a phone with “last year’s” chip! They are copying Apple’s strategy, sell it at high price because people think the more expensive the better! #NeverBuyOppoAgain
While $499 is expensive. The Snapdragon 615 is hardly last year’s chip. It supports 64bit and is an Octo-Core processor from Qualcomm. How is that last year’s? It was only announced this year in February 24th and the only phone that uses this chip was announced in September by HTC.
Secondly, Oppomart is an online RESELLER. That price is not the official price launched by Oppo.
