Chinese mobile phone maker Oppo is getting ready for the launch of its 5-inch Oppo Find 5 smartphone, and appears set to clear up inventories of older devices to make room for the new handset.

To be more precise, the company is said to have cut the price tag of its Oppo Finder 3, which was launched in mid-2012 as the thinnest smartphone in the world at the time.

The mobile phone is now priced at only 2,261 Yuan ($363 / €273), and remains one of the most appealing Android handsets available for purchase in China at the moment.

The smartphone was launched with a 4.3-inch touchscreen display, a dual-core Qualcomm MSM8260 processor inside, 1GB of RAM, and an 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back, capable of full HD video recording.
