Phones with both a cooling fan and water resistance don't exist, until now
OPPO TL;DR OPPO has announced the K13 Turbo and K13 Turbo Pro in China. These new phones have cooling fans and are water-resistant. The OPPO K13 Turbo series starts at ~$251 in China. We've seen a few gaming phones over the years with built-in cooling fans. Unfortunately, the need for a cooling fan vent means these phones aren't water-resistant. Thankfully, OPPO's latest phones buck this trend. OPPO announced the K13 Turbo and K13 Turbo Pro in China today, and both of these budget gaming phones have cooling fans. OPPO says this 18,000RPM fan increases heat dissipation by up to 20%. The phones are also equipped with cooling vents and a 7,000mm² vapor chamber system. Despite the cooling fan and vents, OPPO says the K13 Turbo phones have IPX6, IPX8, and IPX9 ratings for water resistance. That means it should withstand immersion in fresh water as well as high-pressure jets of hot water. Disappointingly, the phones don't have a dust resistance rating. Nevertheless, this might be the first time we see a water-resistant phone with a cooling fan. OPPO The two phones share several features. These include a 6.8-inch FHD+ 120Hz OLED screen, a 7,000mAh battery with 80W wired charging, an under-display fingerprint sensor, a 50MP+2MP rear camera pairing, and a 16MP selfie camera. Otherwise, the OPPO K13 Turbo Pro earns its Pro moniker thanks to the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset (as seen in the Nothing Phone 3), optical image stabilization on the main camera, UFS 4.0 storage, and Wi-Fi 7. The standard OPPO K13 Turbo has a MediaTek Dimensity 8450 processor, no OIS on the main camera, UFS 3.1 storage, and Wi-Fi 6. The K13 Turbo starts at 1,799 yuan (~$251) for the 12GB/256GB model, while the K13 Turbo Pro starts at 1,999 yuan (~$278) for the 12GB/256GB model. This seems to be a China-only launch for now. Nevertheless, I hope to see more phones with improved cooling, as heating has been an issue with some recent flagship devices. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .

Nothing CMF Phone 2 Pro review
The second CMF phone is here, and it is a Pro model to boot. Whether a vanilla model is on the way is beyond the scope of this review, but it's clear the new phone aims higher than its predecessor. Nothing keeps growing its portfolio, and we are here for it. The CMF Phone 2 Pro is very similar to the original CMF Phone 1 when it comes to design. The attachment point and exposed screws are the signature elements of the brand. It's a look that definitely stands out, which is definitely a good thing these days. The CMF Phone 2 Pro is also more durable than its predecessor, with things like Panda Glass on the front and an IP54 ingress protection rating, alongside a manufacturer's promise that the phone should last for up to 20 minutes in up to 25cm of fresh water. The back is still made of plastic, though, with the pros and cons that entails. Nothing CMF Phone 2 Pro 5G specs at a glance: Body: 164.0x78.0x7.8mm, 185g; plastic body, Panda Glass front; User-replaceable back cover, IP54 dust protected and water resistant (water splashes), Manufacturer-rated water-resistant (up to 25cm for 20 min). 164.0x78.0x7.8mm, 185g; plastic body, Panda Glass front; User-replaceable back cover, IP54 dust protected and water resistant (water splashes), Manufacturer-rated water-resistant (up to 25cm for 20 min).

Misc: Fingerprint reader (under display, optical). What about the internals, then? Well, the Pro mostly lives up to the moniker with quite a few upgrades over the CMF Phone 1. The display, for one, is bigger and brighter, with 10-bit color and HDR10+ support. The camera department has seen a lot of upgrades as well and is now much more versatile with a 50MP telephoto and an 8MP ultrawide added to the mix. On some markets, the CMF Phone 2 Pro also introduces NFC for payments. There are plenty of similarities between the CMF Phone 2 Pro and the original CMF Phone 1 on the inside too. The chipset hasn't changed much; it is now the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro instead of the regular 7300. The battery is the same 5,000 mAh pack with 33W wired charging support. Crucially, likely for many prospective buyers, the CMF Phone 2 Pro retains the microSD storage expansion slot. However with plenty of other hardware upgraded, it is understandable that the price of the CMF Phone 2 Pro has increased as well. At the time of writing, an 8GB/128GB unit will set you back around €250. Join us as we try to determine whether the Phone 2 Pro is a bargain at that price! Unboxing The CMF Phone 2 Pro ships in a rather thin sleeve-style cardboard box. There really isn't much material between the contents and any potential outside threat, which we don't appreciate. Even so, we are not too worried due to the internal arrangement, which has a box on top of the phone. Plus, the phone itself is nestled in a cradle for extra protection. Everything in the packaging, including said cradle, is made of recyclable materials, which is welcome. There is sadly no charger in the box, just a basic Type-C to Type-C cable. On the plus side, a clear plastic case is included, so you can start using your phone immediately. Page 2
