OPPO has officially introduced the K13 Turbo and K13 Turbo Pro smartphones in China, delivering major upgrades to the K-series and setting a new benchmark for gaming-focused smartphones with innovative cooling technology and top-tier internals.
Display and Design
Both devices feature a sizable 6.8-inch flat OLED display with a 1.5K (2800 × 1280) resolution, 120Hz or 144Hz refresh rate (depending on the source), 240Hz touch sampling, and peak brightness up to 1600 nits. The design incorporates a composite glass fiber rear with a three-dimensional metal cutting texture, giving the phones a premium look and feel. For authentication and convenience, there’s an in-display fingerprint sensor and an infrared sensor.
