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. The launch of the OPPO K13x 5G addresses this growing consumer need for durability without compromise. 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.

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.
