Oppo is unveiling the K13 Turbo and K13 Turbo Pro on July 21, and both devices will feature a built-in active cooling fan, but also IPX6, IPX8, and IPX9 water resistance despite the presence of the fan.
Now a new rumor out of China says OnePlus is looking very closely at what its sister brand has done and might in fact decide to steal the K13 Turbo range’s unique pairing.
Apparently, the OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra could feature both a cooling fan and impressive water resistance, just like Oppo’s K13 Turbo devices.
At the moment, OnePlus hasn’t decided on the matter, at least that’s the vibe we’re getting, but it may do so soon, considering the Ace 5 Ultra launched in May and so its successor will probably arrive around the same time (or around a month earlier) next year.
According to the source of this rumor, many more brands are currently testing built-in fans for future smartphones, so this may become the next big trend out of China, even eventually reaching flagships.
