Today, OPPO returned to its K-series of smartphone again with the introduction of the OPPO K10. The K3 was made official in India in 2019. After a gap of a couple of years, the brand is now back with a new K-series phone for the country. The K10 is a mid-range phone that offers specifications identical to those of the Realme 9i.
The OPPO K10 sports a 6.5-inch IPS LCD screen with a punch-hole design. The screen has a Full HD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. The device boots into the Android 12 operating system and ColorOS 11.1. The power button located on the right side of the phone is integrated with a fingerprint scanner.
The phone is powered by the Snapdragon 680 and it offers up to 8 GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 128 GB of UFS 2.2 storage. For more storage, users can make use of the microSD card slot onboard.
The display punch-hole houses a 16-megapixel selfie camera. The rear side of the phone has a rectangle-shaped module at the top. On its right is the “10-K Super Performance” branding, while on its left is a triple camera unit. The latter includes a 50-megapixel primary camera, a 2-megapixel depth assist lens, and a 2-megapixel macro camera.
The OPPO K10 draws power from a 5,000mAh battery that carries support for 33W fast charging over USB-C. The other connectivity options available on the device include dual 4G VoLTE, WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
