Oppo released the vanilla K10 last month and is now introducing the more premium K10 5G and the K10 Pro. Both phones just debuted in China, but it’s still unclear if they will receive an international release.

The Pro version of the phone is built around a 6.62-inch AMOLED FHD + panel with 120Hz refresh rate and is advertised to hit a regular 800 nits and even 1,300 nits of peak brightness. The display is protected by Gorilla Glass 5.

The phone is powered by last year’s Snapdragon 888 paired with 8GB or 12GB of RAM. The first option comes with either 128GB or 256GB internal storage, while the second is only available with 256GB storage.

Despite its flagship chipset, the camera setup is pretty straightforward. You get a 50MP f / 1.8 main camera with OIS and a basic 8MP f / 2.2 ultrawide unit. The third camera on the back is a 2MP camera used for macro shots, while the front houses a 16MP f / 2.4 shooter.

The whole system is based on a 5,000 mAh battery capable of charging up to 80W via the SuperVOOC protocol, capable of recharging the cell from scratch in just 31 minutes.

Other notable features include Dolby Atmos-tuned stereo speakers and a high-end X-axis haptic engine that offers mechanical-like haptic feedback as you type on the keyboard. The feel of the mechanical clicks was developed in collaboration with Razer.

The K10 5G is a more affordable option, but still sits on top of the vanilla K10 introduced last month. The K10 5G replaces the Snapdragon 888 SoC with MediaTek’s Dimensity 8000 Max and offers the same memory options as the K10 Pro.

The display size is almost the same: 6.59 “but the panel is LCD instead of OLED. The refresh rate is still 120 Hz and the advertised maximum brightness is 600 nits. In addition, the panel is protected by Panda Glass and not from Gorilla Glass.

The rear camera setup consists of a 64MP f / 1.8 main unit, the same 8MP f / 2.2 ultrawide camera, and a 2MP macro snapper. The front copies the Pro’s 16MP selfie but opens the aperture to f / 2.1.

The same 5,000mAh cell powers the whole with 67W SuperVOOC fast charging support. Interestingly, the K10 5G also boasts Dolby Atmos-tuned stereo speakers and Razer-tuned X-axis haptic motor.

The two phones are offered in black and blue colors, but they are slightly different from each other. The K10 5G standard starts at CNY 1,999 (~ $ 310), while the Pro option retails for CNY 2,499 (~ $ 385)
