OnePlus may be planning to release another entry into its OnePlus 13 range, and it may be substantially different to other mainstream smartphones. It\u2019s potentially going to be called the OnePlus 13 Mini, and as the name suggests, it\u2019ll be smaller than the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R already available. Is interest in the \u201ccompact flagship smartphone\u201d about to see (another)<\/a> resurgence?<\/p>\n

The latest about the unreleased phone concerns the camera, which will apparently feature two 50-megapixel sensors, arranged in a vertical \u201cbar\u201d module on the back of the phone. The main 50MP camera is likely to be joined by a 50MP telephoto for a 2x optical zoom. This comes from the Digital Chat Station Weibo account<\/a>, a well-known source of information on unreleased mobile devices.<\/p>\n

This is slightly different to leaks about the OnePlus 13 Mini in the past, which indicated the phone would have three cameras on the back. While the phone is expected to be smaller than many phones, it will still pack the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite<\/a> processor according to the Digital Chat Station message. This is the same high performance chip found in the OnePlus 13<\/a> and other top smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra<\/a>.<\/p>\n

None of this sounds particularly small, and we have to look back to previous rumors about the OnePlus 13 Mini<\/a> to find out where it gets its name. The screen may measure 6.31-inches, considerably smaller than the OnePlus 13\u2019s 6.82-inch screen, and the OnePlus 13R<\/a>\u2019s 6.78-inch screen. This means it may follow a small (no pun intended) trend started by the Vivo X200 Pro Mini<\/a> in 2024, which has a 6.31-inch screen and a flagship processor.<\/p>\n

OnePlus has not mentioned a further OnePlus 13 model, meaning the Mini is not official at this time. It has been suggested the company intends to release it around March 2025, and also that the Mini name is not final. The device may bring back the \u201cT\u201d suffix, not seen since the OnePlus 10T<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite smartphones like the Oppo Find X8 Pro, Apple iPhone 16 Pro, and Galaxy S25 Ultra costing more, the $1,000 price point has still proven to be the ultimate fighting challenge of the smartphone industry.<\/p>\n

While some companies offer smartphones above this price, these are dubbed as ultra-premium flagship smartphones, and the flagship smartphone market is determined by the best that a company can offer at, or lower than, the magical $1,000 price point.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\tOnePlus is killing it, but it still needs to fix this problem with its phones\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

If you’re looking to buy one of the best phones right now, you need to consider the latest flagship from OnePlus. Dubbed the OnePlus 13, it launched three weeks ago and after spending more than a month with it, it’s become clear that it’s my favorite Android smartphone.<\/p>\n

Yet, there’s a clear problem with the OnePlus 13 and it’s a long-standing problem that OnePlus has never really tried to resolve. Well, that’s not entirely true but internal strife between former co-founders and the complex issue of its relationship with sibling Oppo have made it a challenge for OnePlus to solve this.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Samsung\u2019s latest smartphones are finally here and with a few tweaks to the build size and weight \u2014 plus the addition of a new ultrawide camera in the Galaxy S25 Ultra \u2014 they represent some of the most polished smartphones that Samsung has ever made.<\/p>\n

Yet, they also follow the same mold of Samsung\u2019s previous smartphones and have launched amid a backdrop of intense competition in the U.S. and abroad. The latest competitor for the Galaxy S25 series in the US was launched by OnePlus just a few weeks ago, and having used the OnePlus 13 series for several weeks, there\u2019s one key feature that I wish Samsung had copied.
