Oppo is gearing up to shake up the sub-flagship segment with its upcoming K13 Pro, which is expected to debut sometime in 2025. The smartphone is rumored to feature Qualcomm’s powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, positioning it as a strong contender against competitors like the OnePlus Ace 5 (expected globally as the OnePlus 13R) and Realme GT Neo7. With a super-sized battery and premium upgrades, the “K13 Pro” could redefine Oppo’s K-series lineup.
Oppo K13 shaping up to be a new contender in the sub-flagship segment
The Oppo K12 series, featuring the mid-range Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset. Now, the K13 Pro is expected to take a significant leap with last year’s flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, as revealed by renowned leaker Digital Chat Station. The tipster also hints that one of the sub-flagship devices will boast a customized version of the 8 Gen 3 chip.
Beyond raw power, the K13 Pro could also introduce a 6,500mAh battery, a step up from the K12 Plus’s already impressive 6,400mAh capacity. Additionally, it might support wired charging speeds comparable to Oppo’s high-end Find X8 series, which ensures the device remains competitive in the fast-charging race.
With a fierce competition brewing among the Oppo K13 Pro, OnePlus Ace 5, and Realme GT Neo7, the sub-flagship “war” is expected to rival the intensity seen in higher-end models like the OnePlus 13 and Oppo Find X8 Ultra. However, the OnePlus Ace 5 is expected to be the first to make its way to the global market.
The Oppo K13 Pro seems to be a significant improvement over this year’s K12 Plus
The Oppo K12 offers a 5,500mAh battery with 100W charging, a 50MP main camera, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 6.7-inch FHD+ display with 1,100 nits peak brightness. The K12 Plus further refined the formula with a larger 6,400mAh battery, maintaining the same display and processor while adding a slightly heavier build.
However, for those unwilling to wait, the iQOO Neo10 series is set to debut on November 29. The standard and Pro models feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Dimensity 9400 chipsets, respectively, paired with the company’s self-developed Q2 gaming chip.
