Mint9 hours ago
Oppo has confirmed that its new K13 Turbo series will be making its debut in India on 11 August. The two phones K13 Turbo and K13 Turbo Pro will be available via an exclusive partnership with Flipkart and the biggest USP of these devices is set to be the inbuilt cooling fan technology which Oppo says is the first for any Indian phone.
Oppo has confirmed that there will be Turbo Breathing Light on Oppo K13 Turbo Pro which will see two Mist Shadow LEDs around the camera island and eight colour RGB lighting.
Meanwhile, the K13 Turbo will have a Turbo Luminous Ring around the tactical edge that will emit a soft fluorescent light in the dark when exposed to UV or natural light.
As for colour variants, K13 Turbo Pro will be available in Silver Knight, Purple Phantom, and Midnight Maverick sheens. The K13 Turbo, on the other hand, will also have a White Knight variant while the Purple Phantom and Midnight Maverick options remain the same as the Pro model.
The phone is also confirmed to come with an inbuilt cooling fan that spins at up to 18000 rpm and activates based on the temperature and load on the device in order to keep the temperatures in check. Oppo says that the inbuilt fan technology can lead to rapid heat dissipation and a temperature drop of two to four degrees Celsius even in high load conditions like playing games or having the phone directly under sunlight.
While Oppo has not officially revealed the specifications of K13 Turbo and K13 Turbo Pro, the midrange phones have already been launched in China which gives us a fair idea of what to expect from the device's India variant.

Super Frame, Super Clear, High Score With the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, the K13 Turbo Pro enhances gaming visuals using a Snapdragon enhanced Super Frame Super Resolution pipeline that intelligently boosts frame rates and upscales graphics in real time — all without requiring a separate display chip. The result: smoother motion and sharper details even in graphically demanding titles. Players benefit from: • Ultra-high frame rates for smoother motion and reduced lag. • Movie-grade HDR effects, bringing cinematic contrast and realism to supported games. • High-resolution rendering, improving in-game clarity by optimising the draw-call pipeline, especially beneficial in open-world or FPS environments. Not Afraid of Heavy Gaming Loads OPPO K13 Turbo Series is not afraid of heavy gaming loads. It brings gamers the highest sustained performance, lowest thermal rise, and highest frame count — up to 120FPS — among devices in its class, even under prolonged usage. This is made possible with active and passive cooling systems that comprise a cooling 'exhaust' fan, a large vapour chamber, and a 7-layer graphite cooling system. This smart thermal system ensures minimal heat buildup and efficient dissipation, resulting in the lowest temperature difference between hands (just 1.2°C) — far lower than competing products at the same level. This allows for ergonomic comfort during extended gameplay, without the usual heat spots. So, whether you are playing back-to-back matches, pushing frame rates in Genshin Impact, or multitasking with livestreams and background downloads, the device remains cool, responsive, and ready to deliver smooth 120Hz performance. Pro-Touch Optimisation for Elite Gameplay The K13 Turbo Series does not just excel in power — it delivers a flagship-grade touch control ecosystem fine-tuned for competitive gaming. At its core is the Synopsys 3910P flagship touch IC, ensuring low-latency, high-precision responsiveness during intense multi-finger operations. Whether you are fine-tuning Aim Down Sight (ADS) scopes in BGMI, Gaming Hot Zones optimisation eliminates jitter and ensures touch accuracy through game-specific calibration. The Screen Protector Detection helps adjusts sensitivity to boost click accuracy to over 95%. Meanwhile, Splash Touch keeps controls responsive despite sweaty hands or droplets that is essential for long sessions. For gamers who use finger sleeves or accessories, Glove Mode ensures ultra-precise touch response—even with materials up to 5mm thick. Whether you're gaming outdoors or in colder environments, the screen is engineered to flawlessly register every tap, swipe, and flick without compromising accuracy. Immersive Gaming Ecosystem To elevate the overall gaming experience, the OPPO K13 Turbo Series comes equipped with Dual Stereo Speakers, OReality Audio that delivers a more spatial and realistic sound experience, allowing players to hear directional cues, footsteps, and in-game action with greater clarity and depth, enhancing both immersion and competitive advantage. OPPO's Game Assistant unlocks pro-level features like: • One-Tap Replay lets you instantly capture clutch moments, whether it's a last-second grenade kill or an ace round and share them with your squad, all without interrupting your gameplay. • Silent Launch helps you sneak into games during meetings, late-night sessions, or lectures by disabling launch animations, sounds, and pop-ups which is perfect for a quick match without drawing attention. • Footstep Enhancer, powered by OPPO's proprietary low-latency audio algorithms, activates when gamers are using headphones and amplifies spatial audio cues — helping you detect enemy movement or pinpoint gunfire direction in FPS titles like CODM, and BGMI, giving you a critical edge in ranked matches. Game Without Limits With the OPPO K13 Turbo Series, users no longer have to choose between power, thermal control, and immersive gameplay. This series offers India's only smartphone with an integrated cooling fan, a future-ready gaming experience, and real-world sustained performance that rivals flagship processors, redefining what gamers should expect in 2025.
