Oppo K10 5G Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Oppo K10 5G is another representative of the almost flagships

It seems that the current year will turn into a flurry of inexpensive smartphones with extremely high-performance specifications. The well-known Oppo developer from China also similar models. The hero of today's review, however, relies not only on gaming power, but also on other indicators that are important for modern buyers.

The design of the device is far from ideal, but there are also reasons to praise the exterior. The designers tried to make the triple module interesting and original, to create attractive and at the same time unusual options for the textures of the rear panels. The side fingerprint sensor, thin bezels of the screen (except for the bottom one) also look harmonious. To reduce the cost of the device, the manufacturer used a budget IPS panel along with an AMOLED display. Of course, opponents of the PWM effect will be happy with this solution, but it's hard not to notice the reduced brightness and contrast parameters. They try to correct the situation and the FullHD + resolution, and the refresh rate of the picture is 120 hertz, so the image will not upset with smoothness and detail.

The real sensation in the new product is produced by the powerful Mediatek Dimensity 8000 CPU, 8GB / 12GB of RAM and the Mali G610-MC6 video adapter. A year ago, no one could even dream of such performance in the medium-high price segment. A minimum of lag in Fortnite and even Genshin Impact at any graphics settings, the impeccable responsiveness of the Android 12 interface, and lightning-fast application launch will be noticeable to both gamers and ordinary Android users. At the same time, the power consumption of the processor is quite low, the heating is also within acceptable limits. The gadget does not burn the palm after several hours of gameplay, and the 5000mAh battery will last for a day with a margin. The lack of wireless charging does not awaken the negative, because the vast majority of opponents do not have it, but its fast wired counterpart in 67W will definitely not be superfluous. There are no savings on the size and speed of internal memory (128/256GB UFS 3.1 format ROM).

Completing the list of Android smartphone pluses are stereo sound, support for 5G networks and NFC contactless payments. Unfortunately, it is impossible not to note a number of rather serious shortcomings of the phablet. So, the plastic case does not allow you to achieve excellent tactile sensations from a mobile assistant, and the durability of the material raises questions. 64-, 8- and 2-megapixel cameras are deprived of optical stabilization, the ability to record video files in 4K resolution at 60 frames per second, Chinese-oriented software sometimes upsets with untranslated phrases. However, will these shortcomings be an obstacle to excellent sales of the device? We don't think so.
