A few days ago, Oppo started teasing an upcoming K-series device in India, and the URL for the teaser microsite revealed that the phone in question is the K14x. As the name implies, this should be the successor to the K13x, which made its debut in June of last year.
If Qualcomm follows the same strategy as the previous generation, this is a new SoC (system-on-a-chip) designed to bring next-gen performance to midrange laptops rather than premium flagship machines.

All this is paired with LPDDR5x memory to deliver fast and efficient performance.
