A few days ago, the Chinese smartphone maker Oppo launched the K13 Turbo lineup in its native market. It consists of the baseline Oppo K13 Turbo and the Oppo K13 Turbo Pro. Equipped with capable chipsets and massive batteries, these handsets belong to the mid-range category; they’re also priced very well.

Regarding optics, the Oppo K13 series features a 50MP primary camera on the back, paired with a 2MP secondary camera, and a 16MP selfie shooter. Since the company already has numerous camera-centric smartphones on the market, it may not want the K13 Turbo to overlap with them.
