OnePlus has been active in expanding its smartphone lineup, having recently launched the OnePlus Ace 5 series in China. Before this, in October 2024, the brand introduced the OnePlus 13 for its domestic market.
A fresh leak from the well-known tipster Digital Chat Station suggests that OnePlus is developing a new compact flagship model. While the exact name of the device has not been confirmed by the tipster, it’s speculated that it could be called the OnePlus 13 Mini or OnePlus 13T.
Recent developments have added more intrigue to OnePlus’s plans for its smartphone lineup. While initial rumours linked a new compact flagship to the Ace 5 series, a recent disclosure by the reputable leaker Digital Chat Station points in a different direction.
This mysterious device is now believed to be a part of OnePlus’s main numbered series. Given its high-end features and smaller size, the device is speculated to potentially launch as the OnePlus 13T or even as the OnePlus 13 Mini, emphasizing its compact design.
Specs:
The OnePlus 13 Mini is shaping up to be an impressive compact flagship if the latest leaks are to be believed. According to the information provided by the tipster, the device features a 6.31-inch LTPO OLED display with narrow bezels and offers a 1.5K resolution. It is also expected to include a cutting-edge short-focus in-screen fingerprint sensor for enhanced security.
The camera setup on the OnePlus 13 Mini could be particularly compelling, with a potential configuration including a 50-megapixel Sony IMX906 main sensor, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto lens that offers 3x optical zoom. However, these specifications are not set in stone, as the tipster has expressed uncertainty regarding whether these will be the final camera specifications.
Under the hood, the device is said to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which is the same as that used in the OnePlus 13, ensuring top-tier performance. Additionally, it is rumoured to feature a robust build with a metal middle frame and a glass back, though other specific details about the phone’s specs remain unknown at this stage.
