Starting from the "first thousand-yuan screen fingerprint mobile phone" - OPPO K1, the hardcore road of the OPPO K series has been out of control. The OPPO K3 series of "hardcore debut", the OPPO K7 series of "first taste of 5G" and the OPPO K9 series of the recent "hardcore light flagship" all regard hardcore performance as the "foundation of the vertical machine", which is one of the reasons why the K series has always received praise from many users.
OPPO K10 series as promised, how will it interpret "hardcore" this time? This starts with the OPPO K10 Pro in my hand.
Appearance: Hardcore design obsessed with the feel
I've been practicing the OPPO K10 Pro for a week, and one of the things I believe most deeply believes is its design. The huge mirror camera module is unusually eye-catching, consisting of a triple camera combination + dual flash in the left half and a laser logo in the right half. The eye-catching "Super Performance" also indicates that performance will continue to be the most important part of the OPPO K10 series.

Inheriting the one-piece design of OPPO Find's flagship series, the OPPO K10 Pro's matte frosted back plate seamlessly connects seamlessly with the raised mirror camera module at the joint. Not only does it make the appearance texture full, but it also gets rid of the embarrassing situation of "nowhere to place" when holding horizontally, making the grip in the game scene easy.

Although the camera module of the OPPO K10 Pro looks "intimidating", the head drop when held in one hand is unexpectedly inconspicuous. It is speculated that the internal components of the OPPO K10 Pro fuselage should be designed with balanced counterweights. At the same time, whether it is held with both hands or one hand, the curvature of the frame is also very close. I believe that even if it is held for a long time, it can maintain a relatively comfortable feel, which can be described as a "gospel" for heavy gamers.
Turning to the front of the fuselage, is a 6.62-inch high-quality Samsung AMOLED direct screen. It uses a flagship E4 screen material with a resolution of 1080P and supports a wide color gamut of 100% DCI-P3. Whether it's a daily movie or a heavy game, it can bring extraordinary visual enjoyment.
In addition, the OPPO K10 Pro screen also supports a 120Hz screen refresh rate and a transient touch sampling rate of up to 1000Hz. In extreme scenes such as fierce team battles and island guns, I can really say that I am full of confidence when I hold the OPPO K10 Pro.
Performance: More stable than frame rate is temperature
Oppo K10 Pro is equipped with the classic "853" performance combination, namely Qualcomm Snapdragon 888, LPDDR5 and UFS 3.1, and is born with a good performance base. Simply use this OPPO K10 Pro to conduct the Antu Rabbit running score test, three rounds of testing down, get the highest 838070 points, the average 835084 points of excellent results. Although the adjustment of the Snapdragon 888 by major manufacturers has nearly matured after a year, the OPPO K10 Pro's running score can easily rank at the forefront.

Daily mild use obviously can not test the OPPO K10 Pro, you must give the OPPO K10 Pro a performance test. To this end, I chose two of the hottest mobile games on the market, The Glory of kings and Peace Elite, and used high-frame mobile games to simulate heavy loads, and to see how the overall frame rate of oppo K10 Pro trended under each 30-minute game test, thus reflecting its true performance depth.
(1) Glory of Kings - Ultra High Frame Rate (90 Frames) mode, the game is more than 30 minutes, with an average frame rate of 92.1fps

As can be seen from the frame rate data chart, oppo K10 Pro faces the glory of the 90 frame king, in addition to the frame rate change caused by entering and leaving the game, the overall trend is basically to maintain a straight line. The "853 combination" is indispensable, but the more important point is that the OPPO K10 Pro has brought a black technology this time, which is the highly praised "HyperBoost full-link game frame stabilization technology".

Relying on this black technology, OPPO K10 Pro can disassemble and analyze chip instructions through the "graphics heterogeneous technology" in the face of large-scale MOBA mobile games, and reduce the rendering power consumption, which ultimately increases the overall graphics processing efficiency by 36%. Not only makes the game screen delicate and colorful, but also can save more power.
(2) Peace Elite - Extreme Frame Rate (60 frames) mode, the game is more than 30 minutes, with an average frame rate of 59.4fps

Thanks to HyperBoost's other core technology - "GPA Frame Stabilization Technology", OPPO K10 Pro schedules CPU system resources in advance for energy supply to maximize the stability of the frame rate. The actual effect reflected is that the OPPO K10 Pro is more "calm" in the 60 frames and the frame rate of the Peace Elite, and the full frame rate fluctuation amplitude is significantly less than the 90 frames King Glory Test. Even in the face of complex island gun scenes, it is still smooth and does not drop frames.
For the results of the OPPO K10 Pro's two-round frame rate test, I am not surprised. On the contrary, in the process, I was pleasantly surprised that the OPPO K10 Pro did not have obvious heat throughout the body, and it was not hot at all. If I had to say it, there was a slight feeling of warmth in the rear camera group. From the highest temperature data on the front and back of the fuselage recorded by the thermal imager, it can be clearly seen that the maximum temperature in the OPPO K10 Pro two-round test appeared in the 30th minute of the Glory of the King, the maximum temperature of the front of the fuselage was 40.9 °C, and the maximum temperature on the back of the fuselage was 39.9 °C, which is also consistent with the frame rate fluctuation of the time period reflected in the King of Glory frame rate chart, but this heat control level has been significantly better than many Snapdragon 888 models on the market.

The answer lies in the fact that OPPO K10 Pro uses the "Diamond VC Liquid Cooling Cooling System Max", and the heat dissipation stack refreshes the best of the OPPO K series. Not only is the interior of the diamond gel, a heat dissipating black material, but also the VC area is increased by 30% compared to the previous generation. With the blessing of a large number of heat dissipation materials, oppo K10 Pro can maintain such an excellent frame rate and body temperature, it is not surprising. I believe that even if the test time is extended to 2 hours or even longer, the OPPO K10 Pro will also deliver excellent answers.

In addition to the internal performance, the OPPO K10 Pro's peripheral configuration can be described as a conscience. The first is the three-dimensional sound effect equipped with stereo dual speakers and support for Dolby Atmos, bringing rich, full, and realistic stereoscopic spatial sense. While ensuring that the sound quality is clear and pure, it makes the sound more shocking and delicate, and naturally more immersed in the audio and video or game world. It is used to play Fujii-kaze's "Travel Road", and with The lyrics full of Japanese laziness, the sense of rural leisure comes to life.
This is followed by the OPPO K10 Pro's flagship X-axis linear motor. Fully adapted to the vibration mode of various use scenarios, whether it is typing, taking photos, or intense games, it can bring a very delicate and realistic vibration experience. With oppo K10 Pro and Razer jointly tuned to create the exclusive mechanical keyboard - "Black Widow" and "Mercury", you can experience the vibration adjustment of the expert mechanical keyboard in daily typing.

Charging battery life: The same experience as the flagship
Oppo K10 Pro is equipped with a charging endurance combination of 5000mAh+80W, which is not only the best in the history of OPPO K series, but also OPPO's current flagship configuration combination. What was the actual experience? I used this OPPO K10 Pro for battery life test and charging test respectively.
After a total of five hours of eight sub-discipline tests, the OPPO K10 Pro dropped from 97% from the beginning to 15% after the end of the test, and the total power consumption was 82%, which was a medium level. In addition, the addition of OPPO's exclusive battery intelligent health engine has effectively reduced the loss of battery capacity, and to a certain extent, it has also extended the battery life of OPPO K10 Pro.
In the charging test, oppo K10 Pro from the front desk display 3% charging to the front desk display 100% only takes 30 minutes, which can be described as a fairly good result. Among them, in the power below 50%, OPPO K10 Pro is fully powered, 2 minutes to 13%, 5 minutes to 28%, 10 minutes to 48%, "rapid return" only needs a fragmented time.

Image: The K series is the first flagship main camera
In terms of imaging, OPPO K10 Pro is equipped with a flagship triple camera combination based on Sony IMX766, combined with the powerful processing power of snapdragon 888, making OPPO K10 Pro have a good shooting ability in all-weather and all-field shooting. Before that, we have already seen the excellent potential of sony IMX766 in other video flagships, so how about the OPPO K10 Pro tuning? Let's take a look at the following sample.
In the daytime scene, the excellent hardware quality of Sony IMX766 gives users great creative tolerance, basically can get a color reproduction of reality, the details of a clear and lovely sample. In well-lit conditions, I recommend turning on "50M" (high pixel mode) in the upper menu to take the sample to a higher level of detail.
In the low-light environment of the night scene, the outsole advantage of Sony IMX766 is more vividly exerted, with OPPO's self-developed polar night mode clear algorithm, even if the limit of low light, can still shoot a suitable and accurate night sample. At the same time, for the control of ghosting and noise, oppo K10 Pro also handles it very well.
The 8 million ultra-wide-angle lens provides a large field of view and depth of field beyond the main camera, which undoubtedly makes the user's creative perspective more open.
System: ColorOS 12.1, which is still smooth and easy to use
OPPO K10 Pro is equipped with the new ColorOS 12.1 system, which not only ensures sufficient fluency in daily use, but also provides a variety of magic functions, aiming to create a more convenient and safer experience for users in all aspects.
With the arrival of ColorOS 12.1, the intelligent sidebar has also been upgraded to version 2.0, which can more accurately identify the user's usage scenario at this moment, and provide corresponding tools and services, which can be used with one click from the right edge of the screen.

(In the Bilibili playback scene, the sidebar additionally supports four functions including "Listening Mode")
For the daily recording requirements, the super recording function provided by ColorOS 12.1 supports three modes, namely standard mode, conference mode and interview mode, which users can choose to use according to the needs of the scene. At the same time, the "Picture Marker Recommendation" function allows users to easily record while shooting, and insert the taken pictures as markers into the recording, which is very convenient.
Summary: This is the most comprehensive "K" to date
Looking back at this OPPO K10 Pro, it still has the gene of "hardcore performance" in its bones, but what is different from the past is that this time, in addition to performance, it can still bring users an excellent experience that does not lose the flagship in terms of design, screen quality and image strength. Arguably, the OPPO K10 Pro is the most comprehensive K-series model to date.
The 2000+ price segment has always been a "must-fight place" for major manufacturers, but I believe that with the excellent performance and excellent cost performance of the OPPO K series, the OPPO K10 Pro will definitely leave its own mark in this battlefield after full hard verification.
