While all the attention goes to the Oppo Reno 10 series, the brand is here to launch a new budget contender. The Oppo K11x has been unveiled today as a direct success of the Oppo K10x from September last year. As you may expect, the goal is to deliver reasonable performance and 5G connectivity. We have to say that the device does a good job by providing some decent specs at a reasonable price. So without further ado, let’s see if the Oppo K11x will honor this lineup.
Oppo K11x specifications and features
The Oppo K11x arrives in China today with the aging Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC. It comes with up to 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of Internal Storage. The chipset is not the latest in the 5G segment but still does a decent job as a jack of trades. You will be able to run your social media apps without any hassle or enjoy media content. It should also run some games on the average settings. The phone runs Android 13 with the latest ColorOS 13.1.
Gizchina News of the week
The mid-range phone flaunts a 6.72-inch Full HD+ screen with a 120 Hz refresh rate and 680 nits of peak brightness. Unfortunately, it’s unclear whether this is an LCD or AMOLED panel. Having in mind that it uses a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and it’s a budget phone, we expect it to be an LCD panel. To be honest, if it was AMOLED we are pretty sure Oppo would tell us by making this one of the phone’s marketing appeals.
Since we’re going for the marketing appeals, let’s dive into the camera specs. The Oppo K11x brings a 108 MP main camera and a 2 MP depth sensor. It’s all or nothing, you get super-resolution of pictures but there is no ultrawide snapper. For selfie lovers, the device brings a 16 MP camera.
The Oppo K11x draws power from a huge 5,000 mAh battery with 67W wired charging. Apparently, we are reaching the point where Oppo is finally leaving the 33W charging for the very low-end range. Other features include a 3.5 mm audio jack, stereo speakers, and a micro SD card slot for further storage expansion. The phone charges via a USB Type-C, but the 67W charging already delivers that detail.
Unfortunately, if you own an Oppo K10x there is no big reason for the upgrade. The main differences are on display and camera departments. The horsepower is the same, and even if you’re looking for an upgrade on camera or display, there are better alternatives. The Oppo K11x looks like a rebadged OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite, but this shouldn’t be a surprise.
Pricing and Availability
The device sells in three options 8GB/128GB, 8GB/256GB, and 12GB/256GB. It will start at CNY 1,499 for the base model, CNY 1,699 for the mid-tier, and CNY 1,899 for the higher model. The sales will begin on May 31st.
