After kicking off the ColorOS 13 beta program for mid-range devices like the F21 Pro, Oppo has now commenced the Android 13 beta recruitment for more of its devices including the Oppo Reno 7 4G, the Oppo K10, and the Oppo A76.

Indian K10 and A76 users can apply for the closed beta testing of ColorOS 13 on their devices while the Reno 7 4G closed beta is accessible for Indonesian users. The brand has limited the initial badge to 5000 participants.

Interested users will need to make sure that their devices are updated to the versions given below –

• Oppo Reno 7 – A.18
• Oppo K10 – C.44
• Oppo A76 – C.44

To apply, navigate to Settings > About device > Tap the top of the page > Tap icon on the top right> Trial versions > Fill in your information > Apply Now. If your application is successful, you will receive the beta build notification within three work days.

It is worth pointing out that the closed beta version is not a stable version of the operating system, therefore it is likely that you will face some instabilities or bugs during day-to-day use. It is also possible that some apps don’t work correctly or entirely on the ColorOS 13 beta build. So, it is highly advisable to not try this build on your daily driver smartphone.

The brand will stop accepting applications from October 25th. If you are unable to get into the initial beta testing, you can wait for the next round which will commence a few weeks later.

The OPPO K10 series brought a lot of people into confusion. In China, this lineup is composed of high-end smartphones, while in India, it only includes affordable devices. Today, we are talking about the Indian models, not about the Chinese ones. The Indian variants are the vanilla OPPO K10 and the OPPO K10 5G: they both sell in the sub-Rs. 20,000 price range and they offer pretty good specifications if we consider their prices. But if we exclude the 5G connectivity, which other differences can we find between these two models? Given that a lot of people are surely wondering which one to choose, we decided to answer this question through a comparison between the specifications of the 4G version of the OPPO K10 and the OPPO K10 5G.

OPPO K10 vs OPPO K10 5G

Design

Despite these two phones being two variants of the same series, their designs are different and you can easily distinguish each of them, even if you are not an expert. The 4G version comes with a camera module with rounded corners, unlike the 5G version. Further, it comes with a lucid texture on the upper part of the rear cover making it more elegant and catchier. Last but not least, the 4G variant has a punch hole on the display, while the 5G version has an uglier waterdrop notch. Even though the OPPO K10 4G has bigger dimensions, it wins the design comparison. Note that the 4G variant is protected by the IP5X certification making it dustproof, while the 5G variant has the IPX4 making it splash resistant: do you prefer a dustproof phone or a splash resistant one? The choice is up to you, depending on your actual needs.

Display

The displays of the OPPO K10 and its 5G variant are slightly different in terms of dimensions and they have different resolutions, but the rest is nearly identical and they have the same specifications. They are two IPS LCD panels with a 90 Hz refresh rate and a typical brightness of 480 nits which goes up to 600 nits. The important difference is the resolution: with the 4G variant, you get a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2412 pixels, while the 5G one has an HD+ resolution of 720 x 1612 pixels. This is the reason why the OPPO K10 4G provides a higher level of definition. However, both are affordable panels and they are very far from the high-end segment due to their below-average color reproduction and the LCD technology. Both the handsets are equipped with in-display fingerprint readers, but the 5G variant is the only one with stereo speakers and it provides a better audio experience.

Specs & Software

First of all, even though you already know it, the OPPO K10 5G is the only one from this duo with a 5G modem inside. But that is not all: it even comes with a better chipset: the Dimensity 810 by Mediatek built at 6 nm and running at a max frequency of 2.4 GHz. This SoC not only includes a 5G modem, but it also offers higher CPU and GPU performance than the Snapdragon 680 4G found on the original OPPO K10. The memory configurations are the same, with up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of UFS 2.2 internal storage which you can furtherly expand through a micro SD slot. Another important advantage of the OPPO K10 5G is the software version: it runs Android 12 out of the box, customized by ColorOS 12.1, while the 4G variant ships with Android 11 out of the box, customized by ColorOS 12.

Camera

The best camera phone of this duo is the OPPO K10 5G. First of all, it features a better main camera: a 50 MP sensor with an f/1.8 focal aperture, capturing photos with higher definition and better performance in low light conditions. Further, it has an additional 2 MP sensor for macro shots besides a 2 MP depth sensor, while the 4G variant only has one single 2 MP depth sensor paired with a 48 MP main camera. Last but not least, the 5G variant comes with a superior front camera with a 16 MP resolution.

Battery

There are no differences when it comes to the batteries: both phones are equipped with 5000 mAh batteries and they support 33W fast charging. However, the K10 5G should provide longer battery life because it has a lower display resolution.

Price

The starting price of the OPPO K10 in India is Rs. 15,740 / $197 for the base variant with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage, while the 5G variant costs Rs. 18,695 / $234 in the 8/128 GB configuration. While the former offers a better display and cameras, the latter provides a better chipset, 5G, and Android 12. Which one would you pick?

Oppo has started rolling out the Android 12-based ColorOS 12 stable update for three more devices. One of them is a popular mid-rangers and the other two are budget models.  These three smartphones have started receiving the update ahead of the schedule.

According to official announcement posts on Oppo Community, the company has begun to seed the ColorOS 12 stable update based on Android 12 for the following phones in India.

• Oppo Reno 7 5G
• Oppo K10
• Oppo A96

The Oppo Reno 7 5G actually debuted with ColorOS 12 in India. However, the software was based on Android 11. Hence, it is now receiving the Android 12 stable update after getting the beta release last month.

On the other hand, the Oppo K10 and the Oppo A96 were launched in India with ColorOS 11 based on Android 11. Therefore, these two handsets are getting an upgrade to both ColorOS 12 and Android 12.

As with any other OTA software update, this one for the aforementioned devices is also being rolled out in batches. In other words, some users may receive it earlier, while others may have to wait. Anyway, all users should get access to the update in the coming days.

Users can head over to Settings > Software update to check whether their unit has got the update.

OPPO is soon to announce its latest 2022 lower mid-range smartphone offering – the Oppo K10 5G,  in India at an upcoming launch event happening on June 8th at 12 PM IST (UTC +5:30) / 2:30 PM Beijing Time (UTC +8).

Over the past few weeks, we have seen many official teasers and leaks of the Oppo K10 5G surface online and surprisingly, the Oppo K10 5G that is to be launched in India soon is not the same Oppo K10 5G that was launched back in China.

Specs and Hardware

As we previously reported this week, the Oppo K10 5G (India) will be featuring MediaTek’s Dimensity 810 5G SoC paired with the Mali-G57 MC2 GPU. The Dimensity 810 SoC is the same one found on the Poco M4 Pro 5G and the Redmi Note 11T 5G, so comparatively the device should provide excellent battery life with casual usage on TSMC’s industry-leading 6nm node process.

Coming to design, the front of the Oppo K10 5G will feature a 6.56-inch LCD panel with HD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. The LCD screen has noticeable bezels and a dew-drop notch. The device features sharp flat edges like those newer iPhones and newer OPPO devices. From the back, the smartphone features a dual-camera setup with a 48MP main shooter and a 2MP depth sensor. 

OPPO will offer the Oppo K10 5G with up to 8GB of LPDDR4x RAM, 5GB of extended RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage. It is said to draw power from a 5000mAh battery that supports OPPO’s 33W SuperVOOC fast charging. For biometric authentication, the Oppo K10 5G will feature a side-mounted fingerprint sensor on the right side of the device.

Other features of the Oppo K10 5G include a dual SIM card slot, support for WiFi 5, Bluetooth 5.1, WGPS, NFC, a USB-C charging port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Software, Colours and Pricing

The Oppo K10 5G (India) is expected to launch with OPPO’s latest ColorOS 12.1 based on Android 12 out of the box. The device will be available in two colour options: Blue and Black. 

As for pricing, we have reported previously to expect the Oppo K10 5G to debut around ₹20,000 price range.

Oppo has officially launched its Oppo K10 5G series in China today. The Oppo K10 5G series is positioned as a gaming-oriented value-for-money flagship for the Chinese market and Oppo has even collaborated with Razer, the well-renowned gaming electronics manufacturer, to give gamers the mobile gaming experience they deserve.

Oppo K10 5G

The Oppo K10 5G is the world’s first-ever smartphone powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8000 MAX SoC. The MediaTek Dimensity 8000 MAX is essentially an underclocked version of the Dimensity 8100 that we have seen on the Realme GT Neo 3 and Redmi K50. 

Oppo mentioned in the launch that the reason the brand selected the Dimensity 8000 MAX over Dimensity 8100 was that after comparing both chipsets, the company found that the performance difference between both the chipsets was insignificant. Compared to the more significantly extra battery endurance that the underclocked Dimensity 8000 provided, Oppo wanted gamers to enjoy their gaming experience without worrying about battery life.

For memory and connectivity, Oppo has put in the fastest WiFi 6 and 5G module in the smartphone, the fastest LPPDR5 RAM, and the fastest UFS 3.1 storage into the Oppo K10 to prevent any lags or stutters during gaming.

For the screen, the Oppo K10 5G is equipped with a 6.59-inch 120Hz FHD LTPS LCD display with a peak brightness of 600 nits, to deliver a smooth gaming experience for all the gamers out there. Battery-wise, the Oppo K10 5G is equipped with a 5000mAh battery with support for Oppo’s 67W SuperVOOC fast charging.

For an enjoyable gaming experience, haptics must not be ignored. That’s why the Oppo K10 5G is equipped with a flagship-grade X-axis linear vibration motor to deliver high-quality haptics for its users. However, hardware alone can’t win users over, so Oppo reached out to Razer for a collaboration on their new Oppo K10 5G series.

Razer has incorporated its expertise into the Oppo K10’s vibration motor system to provide users with a “mechanical keyboard like” typing and gaming experience for users to enjoy on their smartphone. With the mechanical in-hand feel, gamers are said to be in their natural habitat, providing better gaming performance since they are more immersed than ever with this revolutionary experience.

The Oppo K10 5G has a triple rear camera setup with a 64MP main sensor, 8MP 112° ultra-wide-angle lens and a 2MP macro lens. On the front, the 16MP selfie camera is housed within the punch hole located on the left side of the display.

Oppo K10 Pro

Besides featuring all the bells and whistles that the Oppo K10 5G has, the Oppo K10 Pro takes the series a step further with its upgraded cameras, an upgraded screen, and an upgraded processor over the standard Oppo K10 5G.

Under the hood, the Oppo K10 Pro swaps out the Dimensity 8000 MAX with Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 888 processor. To fully utilise the Snapdragon 888 to its full potential, Oppo has installed stainless steel vapour cooling technology to keep the Snapdragon 888 running cool and smooth all time. 

For the screen, the Oppo K10 Pro opts for a flagship-grade 6.62-inch 120Hz FHD Samsung E4 OLED panel that has a typical brightness of 500 nits and a peak brightness of 1300 nits instead. Keeping the lights on is the Oppo K10 Pro’s massive 5000mAh battery with Oppo’s 80W SuperVOOC charging technology.

The biggest upgrade here is the camera. The Oppo K10 Pro features the same Sony IMX766 main sensor with OIS found on the Oppo Find X5 Pro. Since Oppo has developed a sophisticated camera algorithm for the Sony IMX766 over the years, the company claims the Oppo K10 Pro can deliver spectacular camera performance whether it be day or night. Besides the main sensor, the Oppo K10 Pro features the same 8MP ultra-wide, 2MP Macro and 16MP selfie camera as the standard Oppo K10.

The Oppo K10 Pro also does not skimp on ergonomics as well. The Oppo K10 Pro’s camera island seamlessly curves into the back frame of the device like its more expensive flagship Oppo Find X5 Pro cousin. These curves ensure that users will always stay comfortable when going for long-gaming sessions on their latest Oppo K10 Pro.

Pricing

Both the Oppo K10 5G and Oppo K10 Pro will launch with ColorOS 12 based on Android 12 out of the box. The series undercuts the Redmi K50 series by launching starting from under 2000 RMB. The pricing of each memory configuration for both respective models is as follows: 

Oppo K10 5G

• 8GB+128GB 1999 RMB (308 USD)
• 8GB+256GB 2199 RMB (339 USD)
• 12GB+256GB 2499 RMB (385 USD)

Oppo K10 Pro

• 8GB+128GB 2499 RMB (385 USD)
• 8GB+256GB 2799 RMB (431 USD)
• 12GB+256GB 3199 RMB (493 USD)

The Oppo K10 5G and K10 Pro are available in 2 colours: Midnight Black and Icy Blue. The devices will officially go on sale in China from April 28 onwards.

The post Oppo K10 Pro 5G passes Geekbench with Snapdragon 888 SoC and Android 12 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Just a couple of days ago, the Oppo K10 Pro was spotted on China’s TENAA database, which revealed a number of its key specifications. Now, the base K10 model of the series has also surfaced on the same website along with its full specs list.

For those unaware, the brand is working on a new K10 series of smartphones for its home market of China. While the Chinese smartphone maker had previously launched a K10 series in the overseas market, this version is different from the model that came with Snapdragon 680 SoC. Unlike the mid range models, the Chinese K10 series is more of a premium grade offering. As per our previous report, the K10 Pro was spotted on TENAA and is expected to launch with a Snapdragon 888 SoC.

Now, the base K10 was also spotted on the Chinese certification website, carrying the model number PGJM10. Looking at this listing, the smartphone is equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 8000 SoC, which is also in line with our initial reports. This chipset is also a high end chipset and will be paired with 8GB or 12GB of RAM and up to 128GB and 256GB of internal storage. On the front, the device is said to sport a 6.59 inch FHD+ display that offers a high refresh rate.

Live images of the Oppo K10 on TENAA also showcase the device with a punch hole cutout on the top left corner of the screen. This cutout will house a 16 megapixel selfie shooter. Meanwhile, the rear will house a triple camera setup, consisting of a 64 megapixel primary sensor, paired with an 8 megapixel ultra wide angle lens, and a 2 megapixel macro sensor. The device will likely run on Android 12 based ColorOS 12 out of the box and will be powered by a large 5,000mAh battery pack that supports 67W fast charging.

The post Oppo K10 key specs revealed, spotted on TENAA with Dimensity 8000 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Oppo launched the K10 smartphone in India last month. However, it is a budget smartphone and not the previously rumored mid-range device. What turns out is that the Oppo K10 series that’s headed to China is completely different from the model launched in India. Now, the Oppo K10 Pro for China has appeared on the TENAA certification website.

According to the TENAA certification, the Oppo K10 Pro has the model number PGIM10. The listing shows the phone’s design. It has a 6.62-inch AMOLED display with a Full-HD+(1800 x 2400 pixels) resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It features a punch-hole panel that doubles as an in-screen scanner.

It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 octa-core SoC paired with 8GB/12GB of RAM and 128GB/256GB of internal storage. It packs a 4,880mAh dual-cell battery with support for 80W fast charging technology.

The smartphone has a triple camera system at the rear with a 50MP main lens. It is expected to be a Sony IMX766 sensor. It is accompanied by an 8MP ultra-wide lens and a 2MP tertiary unit. It has a 16MP front camera for shooting selfies. The device has the following dimensions – 162.7 x 75.7 x 8.68mm.

Apart from this, the tipster DigitalChatStation has revealed that the vanilla OPPO K10 will be equipped with a Dimensity 8000 SoC. It is tipped to have an LCD panel as opposed to the K10 Pro’s AMOLED screen.

The details for the vanilla model are scarce, but given that the Pro model has bagged a new certification hints that we will also see the vanilla K10 in the news. The launch might happen in the coming weeks.

Next week, there are going to be four smartphone launches. All of them are for newer devices. Two of them will be hosted by realme in different markets, one by OPPO, and the last one will be by Nothing. The most exciting of all is definitely the latter.

With that out of the way, let’s take a look at these phones one by one.

OPPO has started teasing the arrival of a new K-series of smartphones in India. While it has been selling A-series, F-series, and Find-series of smartphones for several years in India, it hasn’t launched a K-lineup phone since the OPPO K3 5G, which was announced in 2019. OPPO India’s website now has a landing page for the upcoming OPPO K10. The listing confirms that the Chinese manufacturer will be launching the K10 on March 23.

Starting from March 16, OPPO will be revealing more details about the OPPO K10 handset. It will be unveiled on March 23 and its first sale will be carried out on March 29. Apart from OPPO India’s website, the handset will be available for purchase through Flipkart.

The OPPO K10 will be available for purchase in blue and black colors. The rear side of the phone has a large rectangle-shaped block, which houses a 50-megapixel triple camera unit and “10-K Super Performance” text on the right. The left edge of the phone has a volume rocker, and its right spine has a power key, which is integrated with a fingerprint scanner. It will probably feature a punch-hole screen on the front.

Recently, an OPPO phone with model number PGIM10 was approved by the 3C authority of China. It is speculated that this device will be launched in the country with the OPPO K10 moniker. The 3C certification of the device revealed that it carries support for 80W fast charging.

Furthermore, the publication reveals that the Oppo K10 will debut under Rs, 20,000 in India. If that’s to be believed, then the Oppo K10 will be vying with phones from brands like Redmi, Realme, and Vivo. As of now, other details of the phone are yet to be learned.

If we take a look at the teaser video, it doesn’t reveal much apart from a graphical image that is apparently revealing its thin-bezel display. However, this is just a promo image, so can’t confirm any details of its display as of yet.

The Oppo K10 was previously spotted on China’s 3C certification. The smartphone carries the model number PGIM10 and has 80W fast charging support. The charger model number is VCB8JACH. As per a tipster, the Chinese variant of the Oppo K10 will come with Dimensity 8000 series processor. However, it is unclear whether the chipset will also power the Indian model.

The post Oppo K10 to launch soon in India under Rs. 20,000 appeared first on Gizmochina.

A few days back, we learned that there will be a new smartphone from Oppo named the Oppo K10. Rumors are rife that it will be one of the models to come powered by the new MediaTek Dimensity 8000 series chipset. Now, in new development, we learn that the smartphone will come with an impressive fast charging solution.

The Oppo K10 has passed China’s 3C certification site with model number PGIM10. The smartphone has a charger with model number VCB8JACH and it will have 80W fast charging support.

Furthermore, the tipster @BaldPanda revealed that the smartphone will come with a combination of the new Dimensity 8000 SoC and 80W fast charging technology. This clears up the previous confusion, where we were unsure of which 8000 series processor the K10 would have, whether the 8000 or the 8100.

For starters, the Dimensity 8000 and 8100 are new mid-range chipsets, but the Dimensity 8000 has a slightly slower GPU compared to the Dimensity 8100. MediaTek has officially confirmed that the first smartphone coming with these chips would be by the end of Q1. So, we can expect the Oppo K10 to arrive in the coming months.

It is worth noting that Oppo will not be the only brand to bring the Dimensity 8000 series chipset phones. Some of the first brands to launch phones with either the 8000 or 8100 SoCs would be OnePlus and Redmi. While the name of the upcoming OnePlus handset powered by this chip is yet to be known, we do know that Redmi’s K50 Pro will use the 8000 series processor.

The recently announced MediaTek Dimensity 8000 series chips are getting more smartphone brands lining behind to deploy the chip in their upcoming products. Redmi, OnePlus, and Oppo are the latest brands that will release one or more of their incoming models that will be powered by the Dimensity 8000.

The Redmi K50 series is expected to arrive within this month although it may likely be a staggered release. At least one of the Redmi K50 models will have the Dimensity 8000 or 8100 chip. The Redmi K50 and K50 Pro are likely to be the first models to be released. The Redmi K50 Gaming is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, a seeming turnaround from its predecessor that had a MediaTek Dimensity 1200 chipset.

A possible OnePlus Nord model could also sport the Dimensity 8100, which is a fair projection since the Nord 2 and Nord CE 2 are powered by Dimensity chips. There are also indications that the Oppo K10 series will also have some models sporting the Dimensity 8000 or 8100. Both the Dimensity 8000 and Dimensity 8100 are mid-range SoCs but the Dimensity 8000 has a slightly slower GPU compared to the Dimensity 8100.

MediaTek had announced that the first models sporting its Dimensity 8000 series chips will be released by the end of Q1, 2022 and it seems the company is on course to hit a bullseye in its projections. More details about the specific models that will be powered by the Dimensity 8000 series chips will become known as we inch closer to their launch from the end of March 2022.
