The OPPO K12x is the latest addition to OPPO’s budget-friendly K-Series lineup. It’s a lightweight and compact smartphone that weighs just 186 grams and is the slimmest device in its segment with a thickness of 7.68mm. But don’t misjudge this beauty as delicate as the OPPO K12x is a highly durable device featuring military-grade certifications. The device is equipped with a 360° damage-proof armour body. Let’s look at the top five features that make the OPPO K12x the most durable smartphone under Rs 15,000.
Military Grade 360° damage-proof armour body
The OPPO K12x is certified with Military Standard MIL-STD-810H, making it resistant to extreme temperature changes, pressure fluctuations, vibrations, and other impacts. You don’t have to worry about damaging your phone if you accidentally drop it; it is designed to sustain drops up to 1.3 metres.
It’s not just about surviving a few drops here and there, as the 360° damage-proof armour body on the OPPO K12x protects your phone even if you continuously drop it 30-40 times in a spree. If you go on an adventure trip like trekking or hiking, you can use your OPPO K12x to take pictures without getting anxious, as your phone will easily get through if you drop it in the rough terrains.
The device’s frame is made from high-strength alloy, which adds extra durability. Thanks to its extra-strong frame, you can comfortably sit anywhere without worrying about your phone if you place it in your back pocket.
Strong from the Inside
The durability of the OPPO K12x is not just limited to the external body, as the device is equipped with shock-absorbing foam inside. The alloy frame prevents external physical damage when your phone faces a harsh impact. At the same time, the foam will absorb all the additional shocks, preventing any damage to the internal components.
The OPPO K12x also uses a Sponge Bionic Cushioning technique, where the interior parts have small gaps between them. This allows the phone to effectively absorb all the forces from a sudden impact. The OPPO K12x is an engineering marvel that combines simple tactics to provide maximum durability.
While the device is more than capable of surviving multiple drops unscathed, not everyone likes to use a smartphone without a case. The OPPO K12x comes with an Anti-Drop Shield Case that increases the phone’s durability to 200%. It provides additional cushioning for shock absorption, just like a protective jacket.
No stress of Water damage
You don’t have to stress about water damage, as the OPPO K12x is certified with an IP54 rating. You can comfortably use your device with slight splashes of water, such as in a slight drizzle or sweaty clothes during your gym session. The display of the OPPO K12x features Double-Tempering Panda Glass, adding more puncture resistance. Whether water splashes or using your phone outdoors on hard surfaces, the OPPO K12x will never disappoint you.
The OPPO K12x is also the perfect companion for adventures, as the device features Splash Touch technology. You can use your device even with wet fingers. The OPPO K12x has a touch chip with a touch-detection algorithm that accurately detects your touch input on a wet screen.
Durable Design and Strong Display
While the OPPO K12x has military-grade certifications, it packs this strength in a beautiful design that looks pleasing to the eyes. The device’s flat edges ensure an ergonomic grip and a classy look. The hole-punch display features thin bezels that ensure an immersive viewing experience. You will feel as if you are directly holding the display instead of the phone, as the screen-to-body ratio of the OPPO K12x is 89.9%.
Watching your favourite movies and web series will be an absolute joy on this display. The OPPO K12x features a 6.67-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The screen can get as bright as 1000 nits, bringing the best video streaming experience. The display also has Amazon Prime Video and Widevine L1 certification, allowing you to stream high-definition videos in OTT apps.
Powerhouse Performer
The OPPO K12x is also a powerhouse for performance as the device is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor. It ensures a fluid experience for daily usage so that you can use your device without any lags or slowdowns. The device is equipped with OPPO’s Trinity Engine, which optimises resource utilisation at a system level.
Since 5G is the need of the hour, the OPPO K12x ensures that you are always connected to 5G. The device comes with AI LinkBoost technology that boosts network signal even in crowded areas. Your phone will stay connected to 5G even while moving in a bus, train, car, etc.
If you are a GenZ buyer, you will love the OPPO K12x’s cameras. It comes with a 32MP primary camera and a 2MP portrait sensor. The device can take high-resolution pictures with excellent background bokeh effects using AI Portrait retouching. The OPPO K12x ensures social media-ready photos without any need for additional editing. You can also simultaneously record videos from the front and rear cameras using the Dual-View video feature.
With its massive 5100mAh battery, the OPPO K12x can easily last an entire day. It supports 45 SuperVOOC charging that can fully charge your device in just 74 minutes. You get a 45W fast charger bundled in the box, and the OPPO K12x is the only device in its segment that includes both a fast charger and a protective case. The battery is designed for longevity, as it can retain over 80% charge capacity even after 1600 charge cycles, equaling a lifespan of over four years.
