OPPO K10 5G: Most Stylish 5G Performer of The Town At Just Rs. 17499

Since its inception, OPPO, the relentless innovator, has always insisted on setting new benchmarks for mid-range, value flagships, and premium smartphones. Style and performance are synonyms with OPPO handsets, regardless of their price tag. The company's new K-series handset is infused with the same DNA. Despite its pocket friendly price, the OPPO K10 5G offers many features that are usually found on devices priced much higher.

Here's what makes the OPPO K10 5G the most stylish and all-rounder 5G smartphone of the town in the segment.

Flagship Design

With just a glance at the OPPO K10 5G, you will agree that it is undoubtedly one of the most stylish and elegant smartphone. Featuring a compact, straight mid-frame design, giving the device an ultra-slim body. The handset comes with OPPO's coveted OPPO Glow technology, which is usually seen in flagship OPPO phones. The phone's rear panel has been given a blended glossy and matte texture by using a sophisticated glitter sand process. It creates a unique reflective metal texture and also makes the phone fingerprint and scratch-resistant.

The OPPO K10 5G also aces the ergonomics. Due to its flat design and 7.99mm chassis, it is the slimmest 5G device in this segment which packs in a hefty 5,000mAh battery cell, making one-handed use possible.

In addition, the OPPO K10 5G is among the most durable handsets in its class. It is IPX4 water-resistant and has undergone 130+ ultra-rigorous reliability tests. You can purchase the handset in two distinctive color options- Midnight Black and Ocean Blue. Although my favorite is the Ocean Blue color.

Lag-Free Processing & Multitasking Performance

The smartphone is powered by the 5G-enabled Mediatek Dimensity 810 chipset offering a 2.4GHz clock speed. The 6nm processor offers optimum performance with everything you throw at the device. Be it high-resource tasks such as gaming or heavy apps, the SoC is capable of handling everything without breaking up a sweat. Multitasking is also buttery smooth, thanks to ample 8GB RAM option with up to 5 GB RAM expansion technology.

The OPPO K10 5G also meets your storage requirements with its 128 GB built-in storage. The future-ready handset supports seven 5G bands (n1/n5/n8/n28A/n41/n77/n78), making it ready for fast internet connectivity once the 5G networks roll out in the country.

Long-Lasting Battery & Feature-Rich Software

The OPPO K10 5G also ensures a long-lasting battery life with its high-performance 5,000mAh battery cell backed by a 33W SUPERVOOCTM fast-charging brick. The handset can easily last for two days straight even with heavy usage. The 33W fast-charger refuels the battery in no time. A full refuel only takes about an hour which is no less than a feat for a 5,000mAh battery cell. The OPPO K10 5G also supports reverse charging and can recharge other devices (wearables, TWS earbuds, etc.) via a USB cable.

Moreover, you can have a worry-free charging experience with the OPPO K10 5G as the handset supports a range of 'Charging hardware protection' technologies. Such battery-centric charging features are usually missing in this price segment.

As far as the software is concerned, the handset runs on ColorOS 12.1 (Android 12), which offers ample customization features and comes packed with utilities such as Background stream, FlexDrop, Smart Side Bar, and Three-Finger Translate with Google Lens to increase everyday efficiency.

Segment-Leading Audio and Video Quality

The OPPO K10 5G brings the most versatile mobile speaker setup in its price category. The handset features 'Ultra-Linear Dual Stereo' speakers, which deliver cinema-grade sound with less battery cover vibration. The speakers produce loud and crisp sound that doesn't distort even at maximum volume levels.

The best-in-class audio performance can also be experienced via the device's ringtones, thanks to OPPO's partnership with sound enhancement specialist Dirac. The K10 5G ships with custom-made 3D surround sound ringtones that bring out the true power of the ultra-linear speaker array.

Moving on, the multimedia experience is further enhanced by the OPPO K10 5G's 6.56 HD+ Color-Rich display. The lively HD+ screen will leave you spellbound with its color vibrancy and smooth touch-response. It offers a fluid 90Hz refresh rate making UI navigation and scrolling buttery smooth. The HD+ panel also offers flagship-grade visuals during video streaming and gameplay, thanks to 100% DCI-P3 high color gamut support.

With the K10 5G, you can watch videos for a longer duration without straining your eyes. The phone's screen is capable of automatically detecting different levels of ambient light to either boost or dim the screen visibility in bright or dark environments, thus reducing the blue light effect on your eyes.

48MP AI Camera With Ultra-Clear 108MP Picture Mode

OPPO's camera expertise needs no introduction. All OPPO handsets deliver unmatched picture and video quality, regardless of their price points. OPPO K10 5G features a 48MP f/1.7 AI primary camera that applies machine learning and computational photography to offer Ultra-Clear 108MP high-resolution pictures. When you enable the 108MP mode, the AI-enabled camera system uses a software algorithm to reconstruct higher pixel images.

The main camera is supported by a 2MP depth sensor, which helps capture clear portraits with a natural bokeh effect. You also get an Ultra Night mode that allows you to capture brighter low-light shots without losing out on colors and clarity. If you aren't tech-savvy, just enable the AI Scene Enhancements and let the camera do the talking.

Priced at just Rs 17499, the OPPO K10 5G is a complete package. It is an all-rounder 5G handset that ticks all the right boxes of style and performance. The phone's ultra-slim design, power packed performance, enduring quality software and hardware, flagship audio and video quality and AI enabled camera is just brilliant. So, OPPO K10 5G with 8+128GB is the best priced 5G handset in the segment.

Customers purchasing the K10 5G on Flipkart or OPPO Online Store can avail a No Cost EMI for up to 3 months, a flat discount of INR 1500 on SBI Debit/Credit Cards and EMI transactions, Axis Bank Debit/Credit Cards, and EMI transactions, Bank of Baroda Credit Cards and Credit Card EMI and Kotak Mahindra Bank Debit/Credit Cards EMI transactions.
