Thanks to silicone-carbon technology, we might see extra-large 7,000mAh batteries becoming the norm on a lot of phones this year. An upgrade over the 5,000mAh standard we currently have. That same capacity is found on the latest OPPO K12s.
The OPPO K12s shares a lot of similarities with the K13 but with more memory and color options, and now with NFC. As per OPPO, it lasts for up to 10.3 hours if gaming on a single charge, 49.4 hours of voice calls, 14.9 hours of video calls, and 11.6 hours of GPS navigation.
It ships with an 80W charger, which OPPO claims can provide a 62% charge in just half an hour.
The device is powered by a 5G-equipped Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 octa-core processor, with four RAM and storage configuration that mixes 8GB and 12GB of RAM and 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB of storage.
A 6.67-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen is on the front, with a 16-megapixel selfie camera on top. A 50-megapixel main glass is on the back, joined by a 2-megapixel monochrome camera.
It ships with Android 15-based ColorOS 15 and is guaranteed to receive two OS upgrades and three years of security patches.
The OPPO K12s 8GB/128GB retails for CNY1,199 (~Php9,300), 8GB/256GB for CNY1,399 (~Php10,800), 12GB/256GB for CNY1,599 (~Php12,400), and 12GB/512GB for the CNY1,799 (~Php13,900). It may arrive in the Philippines under a different name, so stay tuned for that.
