The Oppo K series is a line of lower mid-range smartphones. The company sells phones under this name in China and in selected global markets.
However, the models sold in China differ from those available in international markets. Chinese variants offer better performance at a competitive price.
The Oppo K11 is the current generation K-series phone in China. It was released at the end of July 2023 and is set to receive a successor, the name of which has now been leaked.
According to Digital Chat Station, the upcoming Oppo K12 will be powered by the Qualcomm SM7500 chip. This model number refers to the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 SoC.
There are currently no phones on the market with this chipset. But since the chip is official, we know that it is a derivative of its predecessor Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 2.
Unfortunately, the informant did not talk about other aspects of the Oppo K12. However, in his response to the comment, he hints that the price-performance ratio will be okay, but the display will not be impressive.
For comparison, its predecessor Oppo K11 comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 782G chip. It has a 6.7-inch flat AMOLED display with a resolution of 2412 x 1080 pixels (FHD+) and a refresh rate of 120 Hz.
On the back is a triple camera consisting of a 50-megapixel main sensor, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle module and a 2-megapixel macro camera. The front panel has a 16-megapixel selfie camera.
Other features include dual stereo speakers, a microSD card slot, a 5,00 mAh battery, and 100W wired charging support.
In the global markets, Oppo K11 is sold under the name OnePlus Nord CE 3. Therefore, the upcoming Oppo K12 may be rebranded as OnePlus Nord CE 4.
