Oppo K13x 5G Launches in India with Rugged Build and Budget Price Tag

Oppo has just rolled out its latest budget-friendly 5G smartphone in India — the Oppo K13x 5G. Touted by the company as their toughest 5G phone yet, this new release is essentially a slightly reworked version of the Oppo K13 5G that launched earlier in April. Priced under ₹15,000, the K13x comes with a surprisingly solid spec sheet, especially for a phone in this segment.



Let’s break it down.

Price and Availability

The Oppo K13x 5G will be available in three variants:

  • 4GB RAM + 128GB storage – ₹11,999

  • 6GB RAM + 128GB storage – ₹12,999

  • 8GB RAM + 128GB storage – ₹14,999

Sales begin on June 27, and the device will be up for grabs on Flipkart and the Oppo e-store. It comes in two colour options — Midnight Violet and Sunset Peach, both with a soft matte finish.

As part of the launch offer, Oppo is giving up to ₹2,000 instant discount on select bank cards, plus exchange bonuses and a no-cost EMI option for three months. A pretty tempting deal if you’re looking to upgrade without breaking the bank.

Built to Withstand the Bumps

Now here’s where the phone stands out — Oppo says the K13x meets MIL-STD-810H military standards and even features SGS Gold Drop certification. That means it’s designed to survive drops and dings that might leave other phones in pieces. It uses an aerospace-grade AM04 aluminum alloy frame, topped off with Crystal Shield Glass — a combination that’s not very common in this price range.

Display and Performance

You’re looking at a 6.67-inch LCD screen with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, 240Hz touch sampling rate, and up to 1000 nits brightness. The screen is protected by Gorilla Glass 7i, which adds another layer of durability.

Under the hood, the device runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset, paired with Android 15-based ColorOS 15.1. It’s not a flagship processor, but it should handle everyday tasks and moderate gaming just fine.

Battery and Camera

Powering everything is a chunky 6000mAh battery that supports 45W SuperVOOC fast charging. You’ll probably get more than a full day of usage on a single charge.

As for the cameras, the phone sports a 50MP main rear sensor and a 2MP depth sensor. Up front, there’s an 8MP selfie camera, which seems modest, but should do the job for video calls and casual snaps.

Other features include a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, USB Type-C port, dual SIM support, and of course, 5G connectivity.

Final Thoughts? For under ₹15,000, this is shaping up to be a pretty sturdy all-rounder — especially for anyone prone to the occasional phone drop. Whether it becomes a bestseller or not, Oppo’s clearly betting on durability as a differentiator this time.

Nothing Phone 3 Set for July 1 Launch, Major Design Shift Sparks Buzz

Image
The next chapter in Nothing’s smartphone journey is almost here. The London-based tech company, led by Carl Pei, has announced that the Nothing Phone 3 will officially launch on July 1 in India and other global markets. And while the official debut is still a few weeks away, a fresh teaser has already stirred up conversation — and controversy — among fans. In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), the company offered a sneak peek at the Phone 3's rear design with the phrase “ultra-precise engineering.” The teaser shows a partial view of the back panel — featuring a new dual-tone finish and some distinct etchings. But here’s the real shocker: the iconic Glyph interface is gone. Yes, you read that right. Nothing is moving away from the glowing LED pattern that made its phones instantly recognizable. This design change has caught many off guard, considering the Glyph lights had become a signature feature since the brand’s debut. For those unfamiliar, the Glyph interface was more than ...

Vivo Prepping Sleek New Y-Series Phone for India, May Feature Curved AMOLED Display Under ₹15,000

Image
After rolling out the Vivo Y19 5G in India just last month, the company seems to be quietly working on another addition to its Y-series lineup. While the official name hasn’t been confirmed yet, early leaks hint at a new budget-friendly phone that could make a splash—especially with a curved AMOLED display, a feature that’s still pretty rare in this price range. According to a report from 91mobiles, which cites unnamed industry insiders, Vivo is planning to introduce a new Y-series smartphone that may claim the title of the slimmest device with a 3D curved AMOLED screen under ₹15,000. If that turns out to be true, it’s a bold move that could give the brand an edge in India’s increasingly competitive mid-range segment. A few design details have started to emerge. The phone is rumored to come in three colours: festive gold, freestyle white, and nebula purple. The freestyle white version, interestingly, might sport a distinctive rear panel pattern. The device is also tipped to be just 7.4...
