Oppo K13 Turbo Pro 5G is a powerful smartphone with a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor. Here’s my first impression after a week’s usage.
Oppo recently launched a gaming and performance-centric smartphone, the Oppo K13 Turbo Pro, in India. It flaunts a unique race-inspired metallic design with vibrant colour options, a built-in cooling fan, and a suite of impressive features for the mid-range segment. I have been testing the Oppo K13 Turbo Pro 5G for a week now to examine its gaming capabilities, Oppo AI suite, display, and other crucial features to see if it’s worth the hype and how it compares to competitors. Therefore, here are my initial thoughts about the Oppo K13 Turbo Pro 5G in 5 key points to help buyers decide whether it’s the right phone for them or not.
Oppo K13 Turbo Pro 5G first impressions: 5 Things you need to know
Oppo K13 Turbo Pro Design: I received the Purple Phantom variant of the Oppo K13 Turbo Pro, which is my favourite among the other two. It has a flat-screen design with curved edges and a thicker build. However, it does not feel heavy in the hands and looks premium at the same time. It features a pill-shaped camera module, housing a 50MP camera and a cooling fan. Although I may have concerns about the smartphone’s durability due to the fan.
Oppo K13 Turbo Pro Display: The smartphone features a 6.8-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. The initial experience of the display is quite smooth and responsive. It delivers crisp visuals, vibrant colours, with a high level of contrast. The gaming experience is also fluid since it claims to offer an esports touch experience. Lastly, OTT viewing is also pleasing on Oppo K13 Turbo Pro due to HDR and Dolby Vision support.
Oppo K13 Turbo Pro Performance: The Oppo K13 Turbo Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip, which delivers a solid performance in a week’s usage. I have been testing a few games like BGMI and Genshin Impact, and I have been enjoying the overall gaming experience as a casual gamer. Its VC cooling system also feels powerful, but the cooling fan feels like a gimmick.
Oppo K13 Turbo Pro Camera: It features a dual camera setup that includes a 50MP main camera and a 2MP secondary camera. The main camera mostly captures bright and detailed images in daylight conditions. However, the colour appears slightly faded or washed out in low light or cloudy weather. However, its portrait mode is quite impressive with great edge detection.
Oppo K13 Turbo Pro Battery: Lastly, the smartphone is backed by a 7000mAh battery that lasts more than 24 hours with moderate usage. As of now, my screen time is 3 hours, which includes gaming, social media scrolling, and Netflix viewing, and it certainly lasts for more than a day.
