The Oppo K12s 5G will launch in China on April 22 at 2:30pm local time (12pm IST), the company confirmed in a Weibo post. The smartphone will be backed by a 7,000mAh battery with 80W wired fast charging support. 

In another post, the company revealed that the Oppo K12s 5G will be offered in Prism Black, Rose Purple, and Star White (translated from Chinese) colour options. The handset will be available in 8GB + 128GB, 8GB + 256GB, 12GB + 256GB, and 12GB + 512GB RAM and storage configurations, as per the official e-store listing of the phone.

Oppo K12s 5G appears to have a square rear camera module with rounded edges with two camera sensors placed in a vertical pill-shaped slot. The volume rocker and power button are seen on the right edge. It seems to have a flat display with narrow side bezels, a slightly thicker chin, and a centred hole-punch slot at the top to house the front camera.

The design and battery size of the Oppo K12s 5G suggest that it could be a rebranded version of the Oppo K13 5G, which is set to launch in India a day prior to the scheduled China launch of the K12s. The Oppo K13 5G will get a Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 SoC, an IP65-rated build, and a 6.66-inch 120Hz full-HD+ AMOLED screen.

The Oppo K12s 5G was reportedly spotted on China's 3C and TENAA certification sites. The handset is expected to carry a 50-megapixel dual rear camera unit, a 16-megapixel selfie shooter, and an in-display fingerprint sensor. The report adds that the phone will likely ship with Android 15 with ColorOS skin on top. It is expected to be equipped with a 5,700mm² vapour chamber (VC) cooling system, NFC support, an IR blaster and dual speakers.
