Oppo K13 Turbo and K13 Turbo Pro launch with D8450 and SD 8s Gen 4 chips, waterproof fans
The Oppo K13 Turbo is powered by the Dimensity 8450, a 4nm (TSMC) chip with eight Cortex-A725 cores and a Mali-G720 MC7 GPU.

The Oppo K13 Turbo Pro features a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 instead – another 4nm (TSMC) chip with eight CPU cores (one Cortex-X4, and seven Cortex-A720) plus an Adreno 825 GPU. The Pro also has faster UFS 4.0 storage (up to 512GB), while the regular Turbo has UFS 3.1 storage (up to 256GB). Both feature LPDDR5X RAM up to 16GB.
Whichever chip you choose, it will be cooled by a micro centrifugal fan that spins at up to 18,000 RPM and improves heat dissipation by 20%. It has super slender fan blades (0.1mm) and equally thin heat sink fins. The heat sink is also connected to a 7,000mm² vapor chamber. An 18,000rpm cooling fan
The most impressive part of the design is that the Oppo K13 Turbo and Turbo Pro have full water resistance ratings – IPX6 (splashes), IPX8 (submersion) and IPX9 (water jets). The fan is also protected if you drop the phone. The Oppo K13 Turbo phones are fully waterproof
The different chipsets lead to slightly different thermals. For example, after 3 hours of playing a popular MOBA game in a 25°C room, the K13 Turbo (Dimensity 8450) is still running at 119.9fps and is at 43.3°C. In a similar scenario, the K13 Turbo Pro is at 42.2°C.
Both phones can indeed last a long while with their large 7,000mAh batteries. Oppo advertises 5 years of worry-free battery life. The 80W SuperVOOC charger can get a dead battery up to 68% in half an hour. Bypass charging (running the phone off wall power) is also an option. 7,000mAh batteries with 80W fast charging and battery bypass
The two phones are equipped with 6.8' OLED displays with 1,280 x 2,800px resolution and 10-bit colors. They have 120Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate. The panels peak at 1,600 nits brightness.
For gaming, both phones implement frame generation, resolution upscaling and Super HDR without putting extra load on their respective GPUs. Flat 6.8' 1280p+ OLED displays with 120Hz refresh rate
The camera system is fairly basic with a 50MP sensor on the back (27mm f/1.8 lens) and 4K @ 60fps video support. There's also a 2MP depth sensor on the back. On the front, a 16MP selfie camera (23mm f/2.4 lens) with 1080p @ 30fps video recording. At least the Pro model has OIS on its main camera.
The phones are equipped with stereo speakers and X-axis linear motors for haptic feedback. They have under-display fingerprint readers too (presumably the optical kind).
Oppo K13 Turbo and K13 Turbo Pro highlights
The Turbo Pro has Wi-Fi 7 (be) support, while the Turbo only offers Wi-Fi 6 (ax). They also have different 5G band support, which will be important if and when they become available globally.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 might have a downgraded hardware component
Samsung's just launched the Galaxy Z Fold7, which is its thinnest and lightest book-style foldable yet. Today in Samsung's home of Korea there are already rumors about its successor, the Galaxy Z Fold8, which, if nothing changes in Samsung's usual schedule, should be launching next July. The company is now said to be considering both titanium and carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) for the backplate material for the Fold8. That's notable because the Fold7's predecessors from the Galaxy Z Fold3 onwards have used CFRP, but the Fold7 itself has switched to titanium, first seen in the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition from last year. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 Titanium was used in the Fold7 to reduce thickness, and along with the removal of the digitizer for the S Pen, this has cut it down by 0.6mm. However, metals can possibly interfere with the S Pen, at least the electromagnetic resonance based tech that Samsung has been using. The company is currently said to be developing a technology to make the digitizer slimmer, and thus reintroduce S Pen support - perhaps as soon as next year. Demand for this is apparently quite strong. Samsung may even adopt a digitizer-less technology, such as the active electrostatic solution employed by the Apple Pencil, in which case it can safely continue to use metal backplates with no fear of interference. Another reason why it's testing an alternative to titanium has to do with supply-related concerns especially regarding the US tariff war. Samsung basically wants to make sure sudden changes in supply chains don't catch it off guard. Of course we are still very far away from the Fold8's launch, so a lot of things can change. We'll keep you posted. In the meantime, don't miss our Galaxy Z Fold7 review, it's freshly published. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 Source (in Korean)

Samsung boasts impressive durability of Galaxy Z Fold 7's OLED panel with rigorous fold test
Samsung Display is putting durability front and center in its latest foldable OLED panel, claiming the technology can now handle 500,000 folds without failing. That's a significant leap from the previous benchmark of 200,000 folds, and Samsung is using this milestone to showcase the long-term reliability of the display featured in the Galaxy Z Fold panel's durability was verified by Bureau Veritas, a global testing and certification company. According to the results, the OLED panel withstood half a million folds during a test period of 13 days at room temperature (25°C or 77°F) and remained fully functional. For context, 500,000 folds would translate to more than 10 years of use for typical users and over six years for those who fold their device more than 200 times a Display says this improvement comes from a new internal shock-resistant structure inspired by the way bulletproof glass is designed. Bulletproof materials typically use multiple layers of reinforced glass and plastic films to disperse energy. Samsung applied a similar principle by increasing the thickness of the Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) on the panel by 50 percent and introducing a new high-elastic adhesive between each layer. The adhesive reportedly offers four times the recovery performance of the previous material.

Titanium is stronger and lighter than conventional materials, allowing for improved protection without increasing bulk. Samsung states the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is the first Samsung foldable to feature this upgraded panel, and it marks the seventh year since Samsung launched its first foldable OLED devices. Hojung Lee, EVP and Head of Mobile Display Product Planning at Samsung Display, said the company sees this as a key step in building consumer trust in foldable durability. We have covered previous generations of Samsung foldables, including fold tests conducted by third parties and user-reported concerns about crease visibility and long-term wear. This latest test, if reflective of real-world use, may help ease some of those concerns for buyers holding out for improved the Z Fold7's panel appears more durable than ever, real-world use will ultimately show whether Samsung's lab claims hold up. Still, this is a meaningful step toward making foldable smartphones a more practical choice for long-term daily use.
