The smartphone also comes with IP rating and is backed by a 6000 mAh battery which supports fast charging. The smartphone packs all the essential features one wants from an affordable Android smartphone. We used the smartphone for some and here's our first impressions of the same.
Design
Oppo K13x sports a sleek and stylish design. The lightweight 5G smartphone comes in two colour options — Midnight Violet and Sunset Peach. We got the Midnight Violet unit and it looks and feels premium. The flat display and the flat rear panel of the smartphone offers a firm and comfortable grip to the user. The power button and volume rockers are placed on the right side of the smartphone. The side of the smartphone houses the SIM card tray while the USB Type C charging port and 3.5mm audio jack are located at the bottom with the speaker. The rear of the smartphone houses a dual rear camera placed neatly in a horizontal line on the top left corner along with the LED flash. To sum up, Oppo K13x is a good looking smartphone.
Display
Oppo K13x features a 6.67-inch HD+ display with 1604x720 pixel resolution. The AMOLED display of the smartphone offers 120Hz refresh rate and up to 1000 nits of peak brightness level. The high brightness levels make it easier for the user to use under direct sunlight. The smartphone features slim bezels on all sides, maximizing screen space for an immersive viewing experience. Its wide viewing angles enhance both gaming and binge-watching. The bright display on the smartphone also offer accurate colour reproduction which enhances the user experience.

chipset. The smartphone comes in three variants — 4GB+128GB, 6GB+128GB and 8GB+ 256GB. The smartphone also offer support for microSD card of up to 2TB. During our initial testing, the smartphone exhibited smooth performance, handling multitasking and casual gaming with ease. Along with this, the affordable Oppo smartphone also comes with military grade certification which makes it resistant to shock and extreme environmental conditions. Also, the IP65 rating makes the Oppo K13x resistant to dust and water. The smartphone is backed by a massive 6000 mAh battery which comes with 45W fast charging support. The company claims that the smartphone can offer a long lasting battery backup on a single charge. However, we have not yet evaluated the battery life and charging speed of the device.
Oppo K13x runs Android 15 operating system topped with company's own layer of ColorOS 15. The smartphone comes with native Android 15 features and square icons with round edges. The UI is pretty clean but it comes with its share of bloatware which will not be liked by many. For the complete software analysis you will have to wait for our review.
Camera
Oppo K13x houses a dual rear camera with 50MP main sensor with f/1.88 aperture, 2MP portrait sensor with f/2.4 aperture. Front is home to an 8MP selfie camera with f/2.05 aperture. During our initial experience with the smartphone, we tested it under bright daylight conditions and found that the camera produced impressive shots. The images captured displayed rich detailing and vibrant colour reproduction. Additionally, the front camera also delivered impressive results.
What we think
Oppo K13x comes with a starting price tag of Rs 11,999. It is a good looking smartphone which also packs decent set of specifications. It can be your pick if you are looking for an affordable smartphone which can cater to your basic needs. However, for a complete and better verdict on the smartphone you will have to wait for our complete review.

Zerodha's Kamath brothers invest Rs 250 crore in InCred
BENGALURU: Zerodha co-founders Nikhil and Nithin Kamath have invested Rs 250 crore to acquire a minority stake in InCred Holdings Limited, the holding company of InCred Financial Services Ltd (IFSL). This comes ahead of InCred's proposed IPO later this year. IFSL is a tech-enabled NBFC focused on consumer, education, and SME lending. Since its founding in 2016, the company has used data science, risk analytics, and digital-first operations to serve customers across India. "India's credit ecosystem is changing fast—more formal, more digital, and more accessible,' said Nikhil Kamath, investor and entrepreneur. 'InCred Group seems to get that. They've built a strong team, a technology-first approach, and a clear view of where the market is headed. Backing them is a bet on that broader shift—and the belief that responsible lending can scale without losing sight of fundamentals," he added. Founded by Bhupinder Singh, InCred Group has built a diversified lending platform serving retail and MSME borrowers across the country. Its differentiated edge lies in deep data science, proprietary risk analytics, and digital-first operations, positioning it at the forefront of India's next-gen NBFC space.

Dutch investor Prosus pegs IPO-bound Urban Company's fair value at $2.4 billion
Dutch technology investor Prosus has pegged the fair value of at-home services platform Urban Company at $2.4 billion, according to its FY25 annual report. The Gurugram-based firm is among several Prosus-backed Indian startups preparing to go public. Prosus Ventures holds a 6.8% stake in Urban Company, which recently filed a draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) for a Rs 1,900 crore initial public offering (IPO). The offer includes a primary issue of Rs 429 crore and an offer for sale (OFS) of Rs 1,471 crore, through which early investors, including Accel , Elevation Capital, Tiger Global, and Vy Capital, will offload stakes. Over the past year, Urban Company closed multiple pre-IPO secondary transactions at a valuation of around $1.8 billion, ET reported. Another Prosus-backed company, omnichannel jewellery retailer BlueStone, is also gearing up for an IPO . As reported by ET on June 18, the private wealth management arms of 360 One and Centrum Wealth are in talks to facilitate secondary transactions worth Rs 300–350 crore in BlueStone. Both platforms are expected to sell the stakes to their clients ahead of the company's public market debut. The transaction is also likely to value BlueStone at around Rs 10,500 crore ($1.2 billion), about 30% higher than its last reported valuation of Rs 8,100 crore in August 2024, when it raised Rs 900 crore through a mix of primary and secondary funding from investors including Peak XV Partners and Prosus.

The company recently completed a reverse flip to shift its domicile to India, a key regulatory requirement ahead of its IPO plans. The listing preparations come amid a broader trend of global investors seeking to partially monetise long-held Indian tech bets, amid signs of a gradual revival in IPO activity. Prosus has been among the most active foreign investors in India's startup ecosystem, with a portfolio spanning fintech, edtech, ecommerce, logistics, and consumer tech.
