With the announcement of the MediaTek Dimensity 8000 series, OPPO revealed that the OPPO K10 series will be the first to be equipped with the Dimensity 8000 processor. Digital Chat Station, a well-known leakster, claimed today that the new phone lineup will be announced this month, probably after April 5th.
The OPPO K10 series initially appeared on the internet early last month, and its 3C certification revealed that it will support up to 80W fast charging, which is presently the flagship configuration for both OPPO and OnePlus. As a result, the K10 series is predicted to be in the upper-mid-range.
It is expected that the OPPO K10 series would have two models: the K10 and the K10 Pro. The Dimensity 8000 will be used in the K10, while the Dimensity 8100 will be used in the K10 Pro.
The Dimensity 8000 series is built on TSMC's 5nm manufacturing process and has an octa-core configuration with four A78s and four A55s, as well as a six-core Mali-G610 GPU.
According to a MediaTek representative, the Dimensity 8000 series chips are positioned to be virtually flagship-level yet are gentler on the battery than true flagship processors. Benchmark-wise, the Dimensity 8000 series performs similarly to the Snapdragon 888, however it appears to be more power-efficient.
