OPPO K12x 5G goes official in India

Oppo has unveiled the OPPO K12x 5G in India, which the company claims is the “toughest 5G phone in the segment.” Positioned as an entry-level 5G smartphone, it boasts an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance, as well as MIL-STD-810H military-grade durability.

The phone features splash touch technology, allowing for use with wet hands or even a wet screen. However, compared to the regular OPPO K12x, this 5G variant has a toned-down display, opting for an HD+ LCD panel instead of a Full HD+ OLED screen.

Powering the device is a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 SoC, supported by up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of expandable storage.
