Oppo has announced the K10 Pro and Oppo K10 5G flagship smartphones for the Chinese market. Both will sit above the vanilla K10 released last month. It hasn’t been announced yet if the new phones will launch globally, but hopefully they will.
Oppo K10 Pro
Powered by the Snapdragon 888 chip, the Oppo K10 Pro features a 6.62-inch FHD+ AMOLED display, protected by Gorilla Glass 5, which boasts a 120Hz refresh rate – Oppo says it consistently hits 800 nits and up to 1,300 nits of peak brightness.
The camera setup includes a 50MP f/1.8 main camera with OIS, along with an 8MP f/2.2 ultrawide unit and a 2MP macro. On the front, there’s a 16MP f/2.4 selfie shooter.
The new phone is clearly aimed at gamers as it features a flagship-grade X-axis haptic engine, providing tactile simulated mechanical feedback when typing on the keyboard. The Dolby Atmos-tuned stereo speakers should also appeal to gamers.
Battery capacity is 5,000mAh and there’s 80W SuperVOOC charging, which takes the phone from flat to full in just 31 minutes. The Oppo K10 Pro is available in 8 GB (128 GB or 256 GB of internal storage) or 12 GB of RAM (256 GB of storage).
Oppo K10 5G
More affordable than the Oppo K10 Pro, but above the vanilla K10 introduced to the lineup last month, is the Oppo K10 5G. The K10 5G features a MediaTek Dimensity 8000 Max chip rather than the Snapdragon 888 SoC seen in the Oppo K10 Pro.
Sporting a 6.59-inch screen, it’s not much smaller than the Oppo K10 Pro, but it’s an LCD screen rather than OLED. Shielded by Panda Glass, rather than Gorilla Glass, it still offers a 120Hz refresh rate with a peak brightness of 600 nits.
The camera setup on the Oppo K10 5G is a bit better than the more expensive K10 Pro. It consists of a 64MP f/1.8 main camera, the same 8MP f/2.2 ultra-wide camera, and a 2MP macro lens on the back. On the front there’s also a 16MP selfie camera but with a wider aperture of f/2.1.
The Oppo K10 5G has a 5,000mAh battery with 67W SuperVOOC fast charging. It has the same memory options as the K10 Pro, the same Dolby Atmos tuned stereo speakers, and the same haptic engine X axis tuned by Razer.
Price and availability
Oppo has yet to announce whether the K10 5G and K10 Pro will be available outside of China, where they’re available for CNY1,999 ($310/£243) and CNY2,499 ($385/£302) respectively. .
