The Oppo K10 5G is a new budget 5G smartphone that was released in June 2022. Packing some decent specs for its affordable price point, the K10 5G aims to make 5G connectivity more accessible. Let’s dive into what this phone has to offer.

Design and Display
The K10 5G has a sleek design with a glass front, plastic frame, and plastic back. At just 8mm thick and 190 grams, it has a nice hand feel. The 6.56-inch IPS LCD offers a 720 x 1612 resolution, 90Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness of 600 nits. While not the highest resolution, the screen should provide a smooth viewing experience.

Hardware and Performance
Under the hood, the K10 5G runs on a capable Mediatek Dimensity 810 5G chipset with an octa-core CPU and Mali-G57 GPU. It’s paired with 8GB RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage, expandable via microSD. This hardware should handle day-to-day tasks and some light gaming without too many hiccups.

Cameras
In the camera department, the K10 5G sports a dual rear setup headlined by a 48MP main shooter with f/1.7 aperture. There’s also a 2MP depth sensor. For selfies, you get an 8MP front-facing camera. Camera features include LED flash, HDR, panorama, and 1080p video recording. Not flagship-level, but suitable for basic photography needs.

Battery and Charging
One of the highlights is the beefy 5,000mAh battery that should provide all-day battery life. The phone also supports 33W wired fast charging that can recharge the battery to 53% in just 30 minutes according to Oppo’s claims.

Other notable features include a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, USB-C, 3.5mm headphone jack, IPX4 water resistance, and Android 12 with ColorOS 12.1 out of the box.

Pricing and Availability
The Oppo K10 5G is priced at around 280,575  Naira, making it one of the more affordable 5G smartphones on the market currently. It’s a tempting option for those looking to get on the 5G bandwagon without spending a fortune.

While it won’t blow you away in any particular area, the Oppo K10 5G seems like a well-rounded budget device that checks most of the boxes people look for in this segment – 5G connectivity, decent performance, long battery life, and a modern design. If the camera performance is up to par, it could make for a compelling affordable 5G offering from Oppo.
