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.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is the dream device for a remote office. Especially when paired with Nomad eSIM
This story is sponsored by Nomad. PhoneArena's opinions in this article have not been affected in any way! Disclaimer Samsung has just launched the latest and greatest Galaxy Z Fold 7. Now thinner than ever, with a profile barely thicker than a Galaxy S25 Ultra — and with a bigger display, it's easily the digital nomad's not just the fact that the Z Fold 7 can open up to give you an 8-inch display, perfect for keeping a few apps open and doing multiple things at once. It's the Samsung DeX interface that truly opens this device up — hook it up to an external monitor and Bluetooth keyboard, and you've got yourself a workstation. With the added benefit that any files or open work windows are still in your pocket as you unplug it and travelers are eyeing the Galaxy Z Fold 7 for good reasons — a huge cover screen makes sure you can use it one-handed 'like a normal phone' with minimum drawbacks, the upgraded camera for no-compromise memorabilia capturing, and a beautiful, big internal screen plus the latest hardware to ensure you can play the latest games, get some work done, or binge a movie or five during long trips.

You can even use your hotspot feature with no added fee or device caps — if you want to use a laptop or to lend someone else a few of your is the most used resource by those who travel abroad — you need to download those Maps, routes, and transport schedules, open your email for those plane tickets, look up cool restaurants or cozy hotels, and we know you just need to share that picture right now. And most default carrier plans rarely include roaming data, or a hefty amount of it. And roaming that's not included with your plan could run you up to $10 per day or more if you are not careful.

Reliable leaker tips mind-blowing Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge battery size and other potential surprises
If you're not already as excited as I am about next year's Galaxy S26 Edge, the latest word around the Twittersphere (or is it the Xsphere now?) could radically change that with just a number... or two. You know how a typically very trustworthy mobile industry insider encouragingly (but vaguely) claimed that the S25 Edge's sequel would pack a larger battery only a few days ago? Well, now a different social media tipster with a pretty solid track record of his own has additional intel to report on the same matter, and said info is both a lot more specific and extremely promising. Almost shockingly so. Of course it is. But it's definitely not going to be easy to switch from a 3,900mAh cell on this year's Galaxy S25 Edge to a 4,500mAh battery for the device likely to replace the S25 Plus... in addition to the S25 Edge . The S25 Edge is not a bad phone by any measure of the word, but the S26 Edge could be outright spectacular. | Image Credit -- PhoneArena Making the task that much harder to pull off, Samsung is reportedly aiming for a thinner profile on the S26 Edge, as well as bezels "minimized to the extreme." The S25 Edge 's screen borders are hardly massive, mind you, and the handset measures 5.8mm in overall depth, so reducing that number (even by 0.1 or 0.2mm) while adding 600mAh of juice is bound to prove incredibly challenging for the world's largest smartphone manufacturer. If the 4,500mAh battery capacity ultimately pans out, that's likely to be made possible by a new silicon-carbon material. This groundbreaking technology has been used on battery life champions like the OnePlus 13T, Motorola Edge 60 Pro, or Oppo Find N5, but while it does allow for previously unfeasible size increases without adding bulk to phones, some concerns regarding faster long-term degradation continue to linger. Evidently, Samsung is thinking of throwing caution to the wind for at least one Galaxy S26 family member, possibly deeming the benefits bigger and more important than the potential risks of adopting this new battery tech. More things to boost your excitement for Samsung's next ultra-thin Android flagship, that is, including blazing fast charging, and believe it or not, a potential launch by the end of 2025. While the former detail is hardly surprising, calling for an upgrade from the Galaxy S25 Edge 's 25W charging capabilities to a Galaxy S25 Ultra-matching 45W top speed, the latter information is not something I expected to hear... or something I believe has a very big chance of materializing. Can you even picture a thinner phone than the S25 Edge with a bigger battery and faster charging in your mind? I know I can. | Image Credit -- PhoneArena A Galaxy S26 Edge release "late this year" would certainly help Samsung quickly put what's reportedly a pretty big box-office flop behind it, but an official announcement "early next year" alongside a "vanilla" Galaxy S26 and a top-of-the-line S26 Ultra remains significantly more plausible. Especially if the company is indeed planning to make the S26 Edge slimmer than its predecessor, with thinner screen bezels, a larger battery, and faster charging, that definitely sounds like something that will need all the development and pre-release testing it can get. Rushing such a mouth-watering device to market could end in catastrophe, so as much as I would theoretically love to see the Galaxy S26 Edge on store shelves as soon as possible, I think I'd be perfectly fine to wait until January or February 2026 if that means Samsung will get all of the above upgrades just right. Oh, and have I mentioned that the camera is also reportedly set for a major improvement?

Weekly poll results: the OnePlus Nord 5 and Nord CE5 get a red card
Gone are the days when OnePlus was a budget brand – but these days even its budget product line is seen as too expensive. That or it's not competitive in the current mid-range market. Last week's poll painted a grim picture of Nord 5's and Nord CE5's future. The OnePlus Nord 5 fared pretty poorly, with a plurality of people voting against its hardware. The second largest group thought that it was too expensive. The two are related, of course, but it's not just about the value for money equation. The Nord 4 had a unique look with that aluminum unibody – the Nord 5 looks ordinary by comparison. The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset is pretty powerful, but you can get the newer 8s Gen 4 for less money than the Nord 5. And the 50+8MP camera was seen as nothing special. The IP65 rating and small battery on the international model were also commonly brought up as issues. The OnePlus Nord CE5 got the clearest message we've seen yet – 'No, I don't like the hardware' got over 80% of the vote. It's not even a question about it being too expensive (the price in India is too close to the Nord 5, for example), people in the comments just poked too many holes in the spec sheet. Some felt that the Dimensity 8350 Apex chipset didn't get enough cooling and throttling hurt its sustained performance. Others pointed to the lack of stereo speakers (the CE4 had them). Going from a 7,100mAh battery in the model for India to 5,200mAh for the global one is a major downgrade too. The microSD slot did earn the CE5 some points, though not enough. The Nord series is in a bad spot right now as it is facing strong competition in the mid-range market. A price cut can give the OnePlus Nord 5 a boost, but that might not be enough to save the Nord CE5. OnePlus Nord 5 5G OnePlus Nord CE5 5G
