OPPO has launched the K13 Turbo and K13 Turbo Pro smartphones in India, starting at Rs. 27,999 for the base K13 Turbo model. Both phones feature a large 6.8-inch flat 1.5K AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 1600 nits peak brightness, providing a vibrant and smooth visual experience.
The OPPO K13 Turbo is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8450 chipset, also seen in the Reno14 Pro, while the K13 Turbo Pro is the first OPPO phone equipped with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 SoC, built on a 4nm process, delivering strong performance and supporting 120fps gaming. Both phones run Android 15 with ColorOS 15.
A standout feature of these models is their advanced active cooling system, incorporating an ultra-thin built-in fan with 0.1mm blades and a Rapid Cooling Engine. The fan spins up to 18,000 RPM, increasing airflow and heat dissipation efficiency with L-shaped ducts and density-optimized cooling fins. Despite the fan, the phones have high water resistance ratings (IPX6, IPX8, and IPX9), making them the first in the industry with fully waterproof air-cooling technology.
