Oppo K15 Turbo Pro Tipped to Launch With New MediaTek Dimensity 9500s Chip

The Oppo K15 Turbo Pro has surfaced in fresh leaks, hinting at a notable shift in Oppo’s processing strategy while retaining the phone’s core gaming-focused identity. According to new information shared by industry tipsters, Oppo may move away from Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon platform in favor of a newly developed MediaTek Dimensity chipset. Despite this potential change, key features such as a high-refresh-rate display, a massive battery, and advanced active cooling technology are expected to remain intact.

The leak further suggests that Oppo could expand its active cooling system beyond just the top-end variant, potentially introducing built-in fan cooling even in lower-tier models of the K Turbo lineup. However, at this stage, the exact specifications, pricing, and launch timeline of the Oppo K15 Turbo Pro remain unconfirmed.

Oppo K15 Turbo Pro Could Drop Snapdragon for New MediaTek Dimensity Chip

According to a new post on Weibo by well-known tipster Digital Chat Station, the premium model in the K Turbo series—believed to be the Oppo K15 Turbo Pro—could debut with a previously unannounced MediaTek Dimensity 9500s processor. If true, this would mark a significant departure from earlier reports that pointed toward a flagship Snapdragon chipset.

The device is tipped to feature a 6.78-inch flat LTPS OLED display with a 1.5K resolution, a configuration commonly favored in gaming smartphones for its balance between sharp visuals and power efficiency. The phone is also expected to sport a 50-megapixel primary rear camera, a large-capacity battery, and a built-in active cooling fan—a defining feature of Oppo’s Turbo-branded devices.

Interestingly, the tipster adds that Oppo is considering integrating active cooling fans into lower-end K-series models as well, potentially redefining thermal management standards in the mid-range gaming smartphone segment.

Previous reports also indicate that MediaTek is working on another variant called the Dimensity 9500e. The existence of both “9500e” and “9500s” chips could create confusion among consumers, particularly if Oppo and MediaTek do not clearly outline the performance differences and positioning of each chipset. As of now, there is limited information regarding the CPU architecture, GPU performance, or manufacturing process of the Dimensity 9500s.

These latest claims appear to contradict an earlier leak from the same source, which suggested that the Oppo K15 Turbo Pro would be powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 SoC. While the processor details now seem uncertain, other specifications appear consistent across leaks. These include the flat LTPS display with rounded edges, robust dust and water resistance, and an advanced active cooling system.

Battery capacity is another major highlight. The Oppo K15 Turbo Pro is rumored to pack a battery of 8,000mAh or more, representing a substantial upgrade over its predecessor and positioning it among smartphones with the largest batteries in its category. Such a large battery would be particularly appealing to mobile gamers and power users who prioritize extended usage and thermal stability.

Oppo K Turbo Series: A Legacy of Aggressive Cooling

For context, Oppo’s K Turbo lineup has earned a reputation for innovative and aggressive cooling solutions. The Oppo K13 Turbo Pro, along with the standard K13 Turbo, was among the first smartphones to introduce built-in fan units and air duct systems for active cooling, a feature typically reserved for dedicated gaming phones.

The Oppo K13 Turbo Pro was launched in India in August, starting at Rs. 37,999 for the 8GB RAM and 256GB storage variant. It is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor and targets performance-focused users seeking flagship-level capabilities at a relatively competitive price point.

In terms of specifications, the K13 Turbo Pro features a 6.80-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution, a dual rear camera setup consisting of a 50-megapixel primary sensor and a 2-megapixel secondary sensor, and a 16-megapixel front-facing camera for selfies and video calls.

The phone also includes a 7,000 sq mm vapor chamber for heat dissipation, 80W wired fast charging, bypass charging support for gaming sessions, and impressive IPX6, IPX8, and IPX9 water resistance ratings.

With conflicting reports now emerging about its successor, more clarity regarding the Oppo K15 Turbo Pro is expected in the coming weeks. As the official launch approaches, further leaks should shed light on the final chipset choice, performance benchmarks, pricing, and market availability.
