Oppo flexes the K13x's durability
Oppo is gearing up to launch its K13x smartphone in India and the company is betting big on durability. The successor to last year's K12x was put through a series of durability tests and we also get to learn about its rigid internal structure.
Oppo is taking a dual approach with the K13x – the outer midframe is made from plastic while the inner side features AM04 aluminum alloy. This is the same grade material used in high-performance aircraft. Oppo claims the new alloy frame is up to 10% more durable than alloys used in previous generation Oppo K-series phones.
The K13x passed both SGS and MIL-STD durability certification tests and uses a Sponge Biomimetic Shock Absorption System, which implements elastic materials with high-energy absorption as a buffer between critical components and the phone's outer shell.
K13x also passed real-world drop tests from 1.1m to 1.3m heights, landing on granite surfaces with the phone exhibiting no structural damage or performance issues. Oppo also specifically tested screen-down drop tests from 1.2m height and confirmed that the K13x continued to function seamlessly. Here's a demo of the test:
K13x is also IP65 rated against water and dust. It features Oppo Crystal Shield glass just like on Oppo's flagship phones. Oppo is also bringing its Splash Touch, which promises responsive touch control even when the screen is used with wet hands.
For colder scenarios, K13x also comes with Oppo Glove Touch for accurate and responsive screen control while wearing gloves or placed inside a waterproof case. While the phone can handle drops on its own, Oppo is also bundling its Anti-Drop Shield case for added protection.
Oppo K13x will be available in Midnight Violet and Sunset Peach

Honor Magic V5 to come in a shiny new color
Honor is rumored to be skipping the number 4 and going from the Magic V3 which launched last year to the Magic V5 which we're expecting in a few weeks (blame tetraphobia). Now a new rumor out of China purportedly shares the Magic V5's colorways, and one stands out - gold. It used to be all the rage many years ago, then it fell out of fashion, and while you can still find hints of it here and there, it's been a while since we've had a properly shiny gold smartphone. Honor Magic V3 Aside from the blingy colorway, there will also be three other options: black, white, and Dunhuang, which is interesting because it's the name of a city. A past leak from the same source claimed the Magic V5 would come with a 6,100 mAh battery with support for 66W wired charging. Other rumors have said it would be under 9 mm thick, retaking the thinness crown from the Oppo Find N5, and it should come with a 200 MP periscope telephoto camera apparently, an 8-inch folding screen, a 6.45-inch cover display, and the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC at the helm.
