"The Oppo K12x 5G sets a new standard under Rs 15K with its 360° Damage-Proof Armour Body. Its twice-reinforced Panda Glass display and its High-Strength Alloy Frame—developed by OPPO—add robustness; its Sponge Bionic Cushioning creates adequate gaps for components to increase drop resistance while its Shock-Absorbing Foam safeguards key parts to ensure comprehensive protection against impacts and shocks. This combination—certified by MIL-STD-810H—makes the K12x 5G highly durable and resilient," the company said in a release.

The phone also comes with an Anti-Drop Shield Case in the box designed with corner cushioning and a reinforced back shell to protect against accidental drops.

The K12x 5G also comes with IP54-rated splash resistance. Additionally, Oppo’s Splash Touch technology lets the screen functional even when used with wet hands.  

The 7.68mm ultra-slim Oppo K12x 5G weighs 186g and comes with a fingerprint-resistant mid-frame that ensures a comfortable grip. The device's rear is defined by an oval frame around the camera module - paired with the Cosmic Flashlight.

“The OPPO K12x 5G is the first handset with ‘MIL-STD-810H’ durability standard under INR 15,000,” said Savio D’Souza, Head of Product Communications at Oppo India. “It strikes the perfect balance between design and durability, without compromising performance and battery life to make it an extremely attractive value proposition for those who need a day-long battery in an attractive yet robust package,” he further said.

The Oppo K12x 5G delivers up to 1000 nits of peak brightness. In addition, it offers a refresh rate of 120Hz.

Its large 6.67-inch display comes with Amazon HD and Widevine L1 certifications.

It has a 5100mAh battery, supported by a 45W SuperVOOCTM charger in the box. 

The Oppo K12x sports an AI Dual camera setup that comprises a 32MP main camera for crisp and detailed captures with Oppo’s HDR 3.0 algorithm.
