Oppo's upcoming
gaming phones prove that with enough ingenuity and innovation, it's possible to overcome any design or hardware obstacle. Because they're unique in a rather competitive gaming smartphones landscape, K13 Turbo and K13 Turbo Pro are unlikely to face any competition, especially if the price is on the lower side.

Oppo has already confirmed its K13 Turbo and K13 Turbo Pro mid-range phones will be officially introduced on July 21. The Chinese company kicked off the marketing campaign not long ago to increase the hype around its upcoming products.One of the latest teasers dropped by Oppo offers in-depth details about the K13 Turbo and K13 Turbo Pro's built-in active cooling fans. Besides that, the 2-minute video shows the waterproof standout feature of the duo.According to Oppo, its upcoming smartphones feature the company's 'most advanced heat dissipation system.' The cooling fans are so powerful that they can extinguish one or more candles grouped together instantly.As per Oppo's statement, because of the way the fans have been designed, the cooling efficiency is getting a 300 percent boost compared to standard cooling fans. More importantly, space usage has been reduced by 70 percent and the fan's power was increased by 120 percent.For hardcore gamers, Oppo has prepared a special Super Cooling Set kit, which can be purchased separately and includes a case with magnets that owners can use to attach additional external fans.But the Oppo K13 Turbo and K13 Turbo Pro are not just very 'cool' gaming phones , they're also very sturdy devices. The Chinese company confirmed both phones feature IPX6, IPX8, and IPX9 certifications for water resistance.The video released by Oppo this week shows how the K13 Turbo's cooling fan is used to extinguish candles, after which it's immediately submersed under water for a few seconds.This had to be one of the biggest challenges for Oppo's engineers. The presence of a cooling fan typically means that the phone will not be waterproof, but the K13 Turbo and K13 Turbo Pro overcome this limitation.The only other information about the K13 Turbo and K13 Turbo Pro is that they will be equipped with MediaTek Dimensity 8450 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipsets.

OnePlus 13s faces early screen defect reports, sparking warranty confusion
OnePlus launched the OnePlus 13s in India just last month, and while the phone offers strong specs in a compact size, some early buyers are already reporting screen problems. According to a user post on Reddit, their new OnePlus 13s developed a green line on the display shortly after Reddit user, posting under the name u/blackarrow3839, said that the green line first appeared for a few seconds and then disappeared. However, it returned the next day and stayed visible until the phone was restarted. They even recorded the issue as it they took the phone to a OnePlus service center, the support team reportedly said the video was not acceptable because it didn't show the phone's IMEI number. Instead of offering a replacement, the staff collected system logs and told the customer to wait and monitor the device for a few more days. Green line across the OnePlus 13s. | Image credit — u/blackarrow3839 (via Tech Issues Today) This has understandably caused concern, especially given that OnePlus has a strict 15-day window for product replacements. The Reddit user raised a valid question: what happens if the issue reappears after that deadline? The answer they received, unfortunately, was that there's nothing the company can do due to its OnePlus did introduce a lifetime display warranty in 2024 for green line issues. That should technically allow affected users to get their displays fixed at no cost, though it's clearly not a seamless process. It's especially frustrating to see this kind of defect on a phone that's so new. While display issues like this aren't widespread yet, even a few reports can be enough to raise red flags for potential buyers. For those unfamiliar, the OnePlus 13s is a device that packs a lot into a small package. It's essentially a regional variant of the upcoming OnePlus 13T, featuring a 6.32-inch 1.5K LTPO AMOLED display, a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, and 12GB of RAM. While it has a smaller 5,850mAh battery compared to the rumored 13T's 6,260mAh, it still offers more capacity than most phones in its size class. The catch? OnePlus has made the 13s exclusive to India for now, with no plans yet to bring it to the US or Europe. That limited reach makes it harder to get a full picture of how widespread the issue might become. While the hardware and specs of the OnePlus 13s remain impressive, this green line issue is something to be watching closely. We hope OnePlus takes steps to improve support for affected users, especially since they already committed to long-term screen coverage.

Xiaomi is ready with HyperOS 2 and it's shifting its focus on HyperOS 3, ends support for 9 phones
A user on Xiaomi's Feedback app received interesting information regarding Xiaomi's plans regarding HyperOS. Turns out, the company has officially ended the development of HyperOS 2 and is redirecting all of its resources to HyperOS 3. It looks like Xiaomi is done with HyperOS 2 as all phones entitled to the OS update received it, so it's time to focus solely on bringing HyperOS 3, based on Android 16, on time. Additionally, a member from the developer team clarified that users should not expect any more HyperOS 2 improvement updates. Instead, the company will focus on addressing all known issues with HyperOS 3. Key improvements include enhanced animation smoothness and visual effects, improved system responsiveness, a refined UI, and an optimized user experience. To be fair, some of those sound vague. Notably, Xiaomi may name its upcoming OS HyperOS 26, in line with the release year. Unfortunately, Xiaomi hasn't announced a release timeline, so we don't know which phones will get the update first. On a semi-related note, nine Xiaomi devices are receiving their last updates this year. It's the end of the road for the Redmi A1, A1+, Poco C50, Xiaomi 11T and 11T Pro, Mi 11 Lite 5G NE, Mi 11 LE, Poco M5, and Redmi 11 Prime 4G. All these devices will get their last security patch this September. Via 1 | Via 2

Samsung's Exynos 2600 SoC spotted on Geekbench
Samsung announced the Exynos 2500 SoC last month, which is used in the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 that went on sale yesterday. The Korean brand hasn't revealed anything about the Exynos 2600 SoC yet, but thanks to Geekbench, we know what to expect from Samsung's next flagship chip. A Samsung engineering device with model designation S5E9965 has been spotted on Geekbench with the Exynos 2600 chip. It's a deca-core CPU, similar to the Exynos 2500, but with a different arrangement. We are looking at a 1+3+6 configuration, having a single prime core clocked at 3.55 GHz, three performance cores running at 2.96 GHz, and six efficiency cores operating at a clock frequency of 2.46 GHz. The graphics department is handled by Samsung's Xclipse 960 GPU. The engineering device, powered by the Exynos 2600 SoC, had 12GB of RAM onboard with Android 16. It achieved scores of 2,155 and 7,788 points in Geekbench's single-core and multi-core tests, respectively. In comparison, the Exynos 2500-powered Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 scored 2,099 and 7,433 points in our Geekbench test, but the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 scored 2,910 and 9,152 points. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 Before you jump to any conclusion, you need to remember that: 1) the Exynos 2600 SoC is still under development and its CPU's clock speeds are unlikely to be final; 2) the final version of the chip that will be used in retail devices will probably have better performance. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 Bloomberg reports that Samsung is evaluating the use of both Qualcomm's and its own chips for the Galaxy S26 series, which is expected to arrive next January. We could see Samsung going with the Exynos 2600 for the Galaxy S26, while the unannounced Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 will be used for the Galaxy S26 Ultra and the Galaxy S26 Edge. The latter is said to replace the Plus model in the lineup. Source
