Oppo may launch a new K-series phone in India next week, likely K10 5G

Oppo introduced the first K-series phone in India in March. It was called K10 but, contrary to the rumours, it was a 4G phone. The company may now be planning to launch the 5G counterpart of the K10. Aptly dubbed the K10 5G, the next Oppo K-series phone could come to India as early as next week.

According to tipster Sudhanshu Ambhore, Oppo K10 5G may be launched in India as another mid-ranger with 5G connectivity. The K10 5G is expected to come with better specifications than the 4G-only K10. Ambhore not only suggested the launch timeline of the K10 5G but also leaked the specifications of the upcoming Oppo phone.

Oppo K10 5G specifications

The Oppo K10 5G is expected to be powered by an octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 810 processor. It will work in tandem with 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM, which will be up for expansion by up to 5GB with the help of the dynamic RAM expansion feature. The internal storage on the K10 5G may be 128GB with UFS 2.2 standard. There will be support for a microSD card on the phone for further expansion of the storage, according to the tipster. The Oppo K10 5G is expected to come pre-installed with Android 12-based ColorOS 12.1.

On the back of the phone, there could be a 48-megapixel main camera, assisted by a 2-megapixel secondary camera. On the front, the Oppo K10 5G could have an 8-megapixel camera for clicking selfies and making video calls. The phone could come with support for seven 5G bands, which are going to be useful as and when 5G is commercially deployed in India. The phone could come with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, dual stereo speakers, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. A 5000mAh battery may be packed inside the K10 5G, and it is likely to support 33W fast charging.

Oppo is expected to go for the Oppo Glow Design, which is present in the Reno series. It could be 7.9mm thick and weigh 190 grams.

Oppo K10 5G price

These leaked specifications of the K10 5G look very similar to those of the Oppo A77 5G, which was launched in Thailand recently. If this speculation turns out to be true, we could be looking at a price tag of around Rs 22,750 on the Oppo K10 5G. That is because the Oppo A77 5G costs THB 9,999 in Thailand.
