The K10 5G is a more affordable option, but still sits above the vanilla K10 introduced last month. The K10 5G swaps out the Snapdragon 888 SoC for the MediaTek-made Dimensity 8000 Max and offers the same memory options as the K10 Pro.
The display's size is almost the same -
6.59" but the panel is LCD instead of OLED. Refresh rate is still 120Hz
and the advertised maximum brightness is 600 nits. Additionally, the panel is
protected by Panda Glass and not Gorilla Glass.
The camera setup on the back consists of a
64MP f/1.8 main unit, the same 8MP f/2.2 ultrawide camera and 2MP macro
snapper. The front copies the 16MP selfie from the Pro but opens up the
aperture to f/2.1. The same 5,000 mAh cell powers it all with support for 67W
SuperVOOC fast charging. Interestingly enough, the K10 5G also boasts Dolby
Atmos-tuned stereo speakers and the X-axis haptic motor tuned by Razer.
The two handsets are offered in Black and
Blue colors, but they are slightly different from one another. The standard K10
5G starts at CNY 1,999 (US$ 310), while the Pro option sells for CNY 2,499
(US$ 385).
