Oppo K12 will soon go on sale in China. The model’s design, color options, and salient features have all been disclosed by the firm, along with the model’s launch date. The forthcoming phone is anticipated to replace the July 2023-unveiled Oppo K11 5G. It is anticipated that the Oppo K12 will be a rebranded variant of the recently released OnePlus Nord CE 4 5G in India. These assertions appear to be supported by the projected handset’s design and confirmed specifications.
Oppo K12 will launch in China on April 24 at 2:30 pm local time (12 pm IST), according to a Weibo post from Oppo. The poster’s design seems to be based on the OnePlus Nord CE 4’s. In the upper left corner of the rear panel, there is an oval camera module that houses two cameras and an LED flash positioned vertically. The Oppo China shop website is presently accepting pre-orders for the device.
In an earlier post, the company confirmed that the Oppo K12 will be offered in two colour options – Qingyun and Starry Night (translated from Chinese). These are similar to the Dark Chrome and Celadon Marble colourways that the OnePlus Nord CE 4 comes in.
The Oppo K12 is set to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 SoC paired with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of onboard storage. The model is also confirmed to pack a 5,500mAh battery with support for 100W wired fast charging. The chipset, battery and charging details are similar to that of the OnePlus Nord CE 4 in India.
Oppo K12 is likely to feature a 6.7-inch 120Hz full-HD+ AMOLED display, a 50-megapixel primary rear camera with optical image stabilisation (OIS) alongside an 8-megapixel ultra-wide shooter, and a 16-megapixel front camera sensor. The phone is expected to come with an in-display fingerprint sensor and an IP54 rating for dust and splash resistance.
Notably, the OnePlus Nord CE 4 launched in India at Rs. 24,999 for the base 8GB + 128GB option, while the top-end 8GB + 256GB variant is priced at Rs. 26,999.
