Key Takeaways
1. RedMagic starts a trend by replacing a rear camera with a spinning fan; Oppo’s new K13 series will follow suit.
2. The K13 Turbo Pro will feature RGB lights along the edges and is expected to have a 6.82-inch display with 1.5K resolution at 144Hz.
3. It may come with impressive specs, including 16GB RAM, 512GB storage, and “intelligent frequency conversion.”
4. The smartphone is likely to use the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset and include a 50MP main camera, with a less impressive 2MP secondary camera.
5. The K13 Turbo Pro may have a plastic mid-frame, an optical fingerprint scanner, and an IPX8 rating for water resistance.
RedMagic has kicked off a new trend by swapping out one of the rear cameras on its premium smartphone for a spinning fan of similar size. Now, it looks like Oppo is set to join this trend with a new device in the K13 series.
Pricing and Design Details
In contrast to its counterpart, the 10 Pro, which is currently priced at $749 on Amazon, the new model’s RGB lights are expected to be placed in accent strips along the edges. Reports suggest that it will be named the K13 Turbo Pro instead of the previously speculated K13 Turbo. This change might relate to its sizable 6.82-inch display, which is rumored to feature a 1.5K resolution at 144Hz, even though Oppo is said to be developing technology that can reach 165Hz.
Specifications and Features
Aside from that, this smartphone is anticipated to have remarkable specs, including 16GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage, along with “intelligent frequency conversion” (could this be mobile VRR or active dimming?). These features sound more like something you’d expect from a PC rather than a high-performance Android device that the “Turbo Pro” is gearing up to be.
It is likely to operate on the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, specifically designed for mobile use. The design might also accommodate a popular 50MP main rear camera, although the secondary camera may not be quite as impressive with just 2MP.
Build Quality and Waterproofing
The K13 Pro Turbo could feature a plastic mid-frame and an optical fingerprint scanner to provide a more appealing price point. In the end, it looks like Oppo may have succeeded in making this upcoming ‘gaming phone’ resistant to water, but not to dust, as indicated by its rumored IPX8 rating.
