Engineered for resilience, the K13x 5G comes with SGS Gold Drop Certification and MIL-STD 810H military-grade standards, making it the most robust device in its class. Its 360° Damage-Proof Armour Body is built using aerospace-grade AM04 aluminum alloy, reinforced with Crystal Shield glass, and enhanced by a biomimetic Sponge Shock Absorption System inspired by deep-sea sponges. With IP65 water and dust resistance, the OPPO K13x 5G sets a new benchmark for durability, delivering unmatched toughness without compromising on style or usability.
Priced at INR11,999 for the 4GB 128GB variant, INR12,999 for the 6GB 128GB variant and INR14,999 for the 8GB 128GB variant, the OPPO K13x 5G will be available for purchase starting 27th June 2025 on the OPPO e-store and Flipkart from 12 PM onwards, in two colour options – Midnight Violet and Sunset Peach.

Savio D'Souza, Head of Product Communications at OPPO India, said, 'With the OPPO K13x, we are reaffirming our commitment to Gen Z's real-world needs: exceptional durability, fluid performance, and intelligent power efficiency—all at outstanding value. The K13x features a cutting-edge biomimetic shock absorption system, class-leading battery optimisation, and 5G readiness; the smartphone reflects OPPO's vision—redefining what is possible in an entry-level smartphone without compromise.' Smrithi Ravichandran, Vice President – Mobiles, Flipkart, said, 'At Flipkart, we continue to see increasing demand for smartphones that not only deliver strong performance but also withstand the demands of everyday life.

With its military-grade toughness, innovative shock absorption system, and well-rounded features, the K13x is a compelling choice for young users looking for value, style, and resilience. We are excited to partner with OPPO once again to bring this powerful and durable device to millions of customers across India.' Segment-Leading Durability, Fused with Style The OPPO K13x 5G sets a new benchmark for durability in the sub-₹15,000 segment, bringing together aerospace-grade strength and biomimetic brilliance in a sleek, everyday form factor. At its core lies the AM04 high-strength aluminum alloy inner frame—an advanced material used in aerospace engineering that delivers 10% more durability than previous-generation alloys. This robust internal skeleton is complemented by a solid outer frame for comfortable handling, while the front is shielded with Crystal Shield Glass—the same flagship-grade cover glass offering 160% better impact resistance than conventional materials. To further reinforce its build, the K13x 5G also comes with a specially designed Anti-Drop Shield Case right in the box, offering instant and added protection.
Going beyond conventional toughness, the K13x 5G draws inspiration from nature's oldest survivors—sea sponges. With over 700 million years of evolutionary wisdom, these organisms' porous, flexible structures inspired OPPO's Sponge Biomimetic Shock Absorption System. The system uses high energy-absorbing elastic materials to create internal buffer zones between critical components and the phone's rigid frame. Lab tests demonstrate that this sponge-based architecture can reduce impact forces by up to 90%, providing advanced internal protection while maintaining a sleek 7.99mm profile and lightweight 194g build. It's the perfect blend of nature-inspired engineering and modern durability—proof that you don't have to sacrifice style for strength.

Eyeing leadership quick commerce and other formats: Samir Kumar, Amazon India chief
Company Images Samir Kumar, country manager, Amazon India Amazon is targeting leadership across all its businesses including in 10-minute delivery despite being the last major entrant in India's thriving quick commerce market. 'Ecommerce is still early, and quick commerce is part of that; it is just faster delivery for us,' Samir Kumar, country manager at Amazon India told ET in an interview. 'I believe there will be multiple winners, but at the same time, we are building it based on customer inputs.' Kumar, who has been with Amazon since 1999, took charge of the India business last October, replacing Manish Tiwary, who moved to Nestle India as the managing director. Amazon formally joined the instant delivery market in June with the launch of Amazon Now, starting in Bengaluru, before it started expanding to Delhi-NCR. Kumar did not disclose the tally of dark stores or micro-warehouses that Amazon runs, but said the service already covers most of Bengaluru. ET had reported that Amazon Now aims to set up 300 dark stores across Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, and Bengaluru by 2025-end. In comparison, market leader Blinkit operated 1,544 dark stores as of June 30, while Swiggy's Instamart and Zepto each had more than 1,000. The fast-paced growth of quick commerce across metros has hit Amazon the most, say industry said Amazon will not hold back on investing in quick commerce, a segment which requires high burn to gain market share. 'We will be very bold in terms of our investment to get to that scale. If we are getting into Now, at scale, we believe we can make money doing it,' he said. 'We will not target very small towns for quick commerce yet, since demand there may not justify it. But wherever the model works, we are confident we can build a sustainable business.' The entry of Amazon and Flipkart has ratcheted up competition in a segment that has grown sharply over the last three years. Flipkart launched its Minutes service in 2024 and has said it will have 800 dark stores operational across India by this year-end. Also Read: Flipkart may limit its quick commerce expansion to top cities to reduce burn Brokerage firm Jefferies said Flipkart and Amazon's entry into quick commerce was 'more out of force' than choice, with users and their share of wallet rapidly shifting to quick commerce platforms. 'Quick commerce has become mainstream and the entry of horizontal platforms like Flipkart and Amazon is more out of force, as users have been rapidly moving to these platforms,' Jefferies said in a June founder and group CEO Sriharsha Majety also flagged the rising intensity of competition last month, saying that rivalry is strong both from pure-play firms and larger ecommerce platforms. While the former are recalibrating spends on their networks, the latter are weighing whether to go fully 'quick' or simply 'quick enough.'Amazon, for its part, is positioning itself for the long term. Kumar said the company's goal is to reach scale and from there build a leadership position across multiple delivery speeds. 'A customer should be able to use the same app to buy fresh fruit in 15 minutes, a smartphone in a day, and furniture in a week,' he year 2024 saw ecommerce growth moderate to 10-12%, from the 20-30% annual growth recorded just a few years ago, as consumers cut back on discretionary spending. Horizontal players like Flipkart and Amazon also saw gross merchandise value growth slow down, prompting both to sharpen focus on FY24, Amazon Seller Services, the India marketplace arm of Amazon, reported a 14% rise in operating revenue, while narrowing its net loss by 28%. Revenue growth was higher than the 3% recorded in FY23 but still trailed the pandemic years when growth had surged 32% in FY22 and 49% in FY21. The company has yet to disclose its FY25 pointed out that there is still plenty of headroom for the sector. 'Ecommerce is still scratching the surface. It is early days. We are far from full penetration,' he said. Festive sales strong He highlighted Amazon's recent sales events as evidence that demand remains strong when triggered. Prime Day this year was the company's biggest yet in India, with 18,000 orders per minute at peak, 50% higher than last year. Around 70% of new Prime sign-ups during the sale came from smaller towns, and 60-70% of small and medium-sized sellers on Amazon saw most of their orders originate from tier-II and tier-III push to lead both ecommerce and quick commerce is anchored in its large customer base and nationwide logistics said with more than 100 million customers in India, a growing Prime subscriber base, and a far-reaching logistics chain, the company is positioned to win regardless of delivery format or speed. The differentiation, he argued, will come from the selection on offer, the value proposition, and the depth of Amazon's supply chain.'Continuing to focus beyond the top cities is important for the next 200 million customers, which is a key area for me,' he said, stressing this as one of Amazon India's main priorities for investment in both financial and human resources. For now, festive demand is providing momentum. The shopping season, once spread across three months, has condensed into specific events such as Raksha Bandhan, Independence Day and Janmashtami. ET has reported how both ecommerce and quick commerce platforms are stretching festive calendars to juice demand. Amazon, too, is leaning on Prime as a flywheel, offering tiered memberships like Prime Lite and Prime Shopping Edition to boost adoption.

A 27-year-old employee of Flipkart was arrested for allegedly stealing high-value mobile phones from the e-commerce company, police said on Sunday. The accused was identified as Manish Kumar, they said. A case was registered on August 9 at Sagarpur police station following a complaint from Pankaj, a representative of Instakart Services Pvt Ltd, a Flipkart subsidiary, about the theft of expensive phones from the Dasrathpuri office. A case under Sections 305 (theft) and 331(4) (trespassing) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita was lodged and an investigation was initiated, police said. Police activated local informers while simultaneously conducting digital surveillance to track movements linked to the suspected theft. Investigators said that during inquiries, Manish emerged as a prime suspect. On August 13, acting on a tip-off, a police team apprehended him from Sagarpur area. During sustained questioning, he allegedly confessed to having stolen mobile phones while working as a team leader with Instakart. He also admitted to having disabled the CCTV cameras at the premises before committing the theft. According to police, Manish is an MBA student who has worked at the company for around 10 months. Preliminary interrogation revealed that he had encountered financial distress but had to still pay the EMIs of a loan he had taken. He was allegedly not able to handle the crisis with his 'insufficient' salary. This, police said, drove him to commit the theft. Two iPhones and a OnePlus mobile phone were recovered from the possession of the accused, police said.
