Flagship-Level Processors in Both Phones

The primary distinction between the two phones is in their chipsets. The K13 Turbo Pro is driven by the latest Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor, offering flagship-level performance and support for Wi-Fi 7 and UFS 4.0 storage. The standard K13 Turbo uses the Dimensity 8450 chipset, UFS 3.1 storage, and Wi-Fi 6 support. Although both provide good power, the Pro model is obviously designed for more sustained performance and enhanced networking.

RGB Setup and Cooling Designed for Gamers

The two phones come equipped with a built-in 18,000 rpm cooling fan, but the Turbo Pro goes one better with RGB lighting. The Turbo also boasts a glowing ring-shaped lighting around the fan for extra aesthetics. The thermal configuration is also strong in both phones, making use of a 7,000mm² VC liquid cooling plate and graphite gel cooling to deal with extended gaming sessions. This makes the K13 Turbo series perfect for hardcore mobile gamers.

Amazing OLED Display With High Refresh Rate

Both the K13 Turbo and the Turbo Pro have a 6.8-inch flat LTPS OLED display with a 1.5K resolution (2800 x 1280 pixels). The display can handle a 120Hz refresh rate and a 240Hz touch sampling rate, which means ultra-smooth visuals and silky-smooth controls. OPPO Crystal Shield Glass protects both panels for extra toughness.

Camera and Battery: Same on Both Phones

Though different in performance, both phones have the same camera configuration a 50MP OmniVision OV50D40 sensor with OIS and a 2MP depth sensor at the back, and a 16MP Sony IMX480 camera on the front. They also come equipped with an enormous 7000mAh battery that supports 80W fast charging. Interestingly, both phones support bypass charging while gaming as well, charging to full in just 54 minutes.

Build, Features, and Color Variants

The phones have a plastic mid-frame, glass back, and IPX9/IPX8/IPX6-rated water protection. Common features also involve an X-axis linear motor, dual speakers, NFC, Bluetooth 5.4, IR blaster, and ColorOS 15 based on Android 15. The K13 Turbo is available in First Purple, Black Samurai, and Knight White, while the Pro model introduces a Knight Silver option.
