Oppo K12x 5G with military-grade body launched, costs Rs 12,999

Oppo has launched the K12x 5G in India as another budget smartphone that will mostly appeal to customers looking for a device that can endure extreme weather conditions and brave mishandling occasionally. Oppo’s new phone has MIL-STD-810 certification, which simply means military-grade protection against shock and extreme weather conditions. It is one of the few phones with this protection level under Rs 15,000.
