Oppo K13 Turbo tipped to launch soon, likely to feature these specs
Oppo is preparing to unveil its latest smartphone, the K13 Turbo, in China, following the recent launch of the K13 in India last week. Now, the leaked images have provided a glimpse of the phone's design, showcasing a back panel equipped with an active cooling fan, RGB lighting and the latest Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset to reinforce its performance-oriented branding. Let's take a closer look at what we can expect from the upcoming device. Oppo K13 Turbo: Cooling Fan, RGB lights, and more
While many mid-range phones typically avoid the 'Turbo' label, the Oppo K13 Turbo sets itself apart with its active cooling system. Thermal throttling is a common issue in many devices, especially during heavy use or gaming, which can reduce performance over time. The addition of a cooling fan offers an intriguing solution, potentially helping to maintain consistent performance during prolonged usage. Although specific details on the cooling system remain unclear, the presence of this feature suggests Oppo's ambition to enhance the phone's real-world performance.

mobile to buy?
The Oppo K13 Turbo runs on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, a 4nm octa-core processor paired with an Adreno 825 GPU. This mid-tier chip set the device apart from other gaming phones, which often feature higher-end processors, such as the Snapdragon 8 Elite. This choice indicates Oppo's strategy to offer a competitive gaming phone without the hefty price tag of flagship models.

Details on other key aspects of the phone, including the display, cameras, battery, and pricing, have not been confirmed yet. For context, the Oppo K13, which uses the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1, starts at Rs. 17,999. The Oppo K13 Turbo has generated excitement online, with many speculating that the cooling fan could be a first for Oppo. Initially launching in China, Oppo may look to expand the K13 Turbo globally, depending on its reception. The success of this phone will depend on how well Oppo balances its cost and performance in comparison to rivals like the iQOO Z10 Turbo Pro and the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro.

Nothing Phone (3) to launch soon in India, here is what we know about it so far
Nothing has confirmed that its "true flagship" phone, the Nothing Phone (3), is all set to launch in July. While the company has not revealed the exact date, it has been shedding light on the upcoming phone. For instance, the Nothing Phone (3) is ditching the Glyph interface and will follow the CMF Phone 2 Pro back panel. In this article, we will unveil all the details that Nothing has confirmed so far and will also shed light on the rumours and leaks around the phone. advertisementNothing Phone (3): Design Nothing has officially given up on the glyph interface, which was once a key highlight on its phones. Unlike the Nothing Phone (2) or Phone (3a), the upcoming flagship will follow a design language similar to its mid-budget phone, CMF Phone 2 Pro (review). In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Nothing shared a glimpse of the back panel. The shared image features a wheel on the edge. While it appears to be a little different from the CMF Phone 2 Pro, the inspiration could be the same. Another similarity between the Phone (3) and the CMF Phone 2 Pro is "all in the details." If you look at the image closely, you can notice two different tones of the colour. This means that the upcoming flagship might also feature a dual-colour back panel. advertisementNothing also revealed that the Phone (3) would be the first flagship to ditch the glyph interface, a feature known to be Nothing's trademark. Now, if the company is doing away with such a feature, it is certain that the upcoming phone will bring another wave. While nothing is certain, the company may be cooking up a brand-new visual language for the Phone (3), and it might involve dot-matrix displays. Nothing Phone (3): Specs and featuresWith its official unveiling set for July, the Nothing Phone (3) remains something of a mystery — but not without a fair share of juicy leaks and subtle hints. While much is still under wraps, co-founder Carl Pei has offered a few tantalising confirmations. The upcoming handset, he says, will bring 'high-end materials,' 'a major jump in performance,' and 'software improvements aimed at delivering a better overall experience.'Rumour-watchers and spec-sheet sleuths, however, have begun painting a clearer picture. At the heart of the Phone (3), it's widely speculated we'll find Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip. It's a curious, if bold, choice for a device vying for flagship status in 2025, especially given that the Phone (2) debuted two years ago. Still, if Nothing keeps the price within reach, it might just strike the right balance between power and the Phone (3) is tipped to feature a sizeable 6.77-inch AMOLED screen, pushing a 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and a dazzling 3,000 nits of peak brightness. The camera setup is rumoured to include a 50-megapixel triple array on the back and a 32-megapixel selfie snapper up front. As for battery life, expect a 5,000mAh cell, with 50W fast wired charging and 20W wireless charging in Phone (3): Price hike confirmed Pei has hinted that the Nothing Phone (3) will be priced around 800 (roughly Rs 92,000) sparking plenty of chatter ahead of its official launch. While the UK price sets expectations high, the Indian market may see a more tailored tag. Analysts suggest a likely range of Rs 60,000 to Rs 70,000, a steep climb from the Phone (2)'s Rs 44,999–Rs 54,999 launch price. 'It won't be cheap,' say insiders, though pricing could reflect India's purchasing power. Still, fans hoping for a budget-friendly flagship might need to brace themselves. Official pricing is just around the corner, and expectations are mixed.

OnePlus Pad 3 with Snapdragon 8 Elite processor launching next week: All you need to know
OnePlus has confirmed that its latest Android tablet, the OnePlus Pad 3, will be launched in North America, Europe and the UK on 5 June, powered by the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. On the same day, the company is also set to launch its India-exclusive OnePlus 13s compact flagship, which will feature the same SoC. However, the company is yet to announce whether the new tablet will be launched in India. The timing does seem ideal, given that last year's OnePlus Pad 2 also debuted around the same time during the OnePlus Summer Launch event. OnePlus Pad 3 will feature Open Canvas, which debuted with the OnePlus Open in 2023 and was later introduced to the OnePlus Pad 2 last year. This feature enables users to multitask with ease by opening up to three apps simultaneously. The promo images also reveal that, just like last year, OnePlus will offer a separate keyboard and stylus for the tablet. However, these accessories will most likely be sold separately. Leaks suggest that the tablet could be a rebranded version of the OnePlus Pad 2 Pro, launched in China last month. If these rumours are true, the tablet could feature a 13.2-inch, 3.4K, 144 Hz display with a High Brightness Mode (HBM) of 900 nits. Apart from being powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, the tablet could come with up to 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 4.0 storage. In terms of optics, it could feature a 13 MP primary camera with an LED flash and an 8 MP front-facing camera for video calls and the occasional selfie. The tablet could feature a 12,140 mAh battery with support for 67 W SuperVOOC wired fast charging. It is expected to run on Oxygen OS 15, based on Android 15, and support all the new AI features already seen on the OnePlus 13 (Review) and OnePlus 13R (Review).
