OnePlus 13T/13 Mini Leak: OnePlus is currently rumored to be working on a new compact flagship smartphone, to be named OnePlus 13T or, even better, OnePlus 13 Mini. This should entail some high-end performance packed into a tiny robust chassis, thus is refreshing for fans who want a small but powerful flagship. Leakage points out that this phone will apparently contain the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, which may also make it the least expensive with such a powerful chipset.
Compact Phone with Good Specs
The display of the OnePlus 13T/13 Mini is allegedly going to be a 6.31-inch LTPO OLED, bringing 1.5K resolution and smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Expect sharp images and buttery scrolls. The small guy may also ice on a huge old 6,000mAh battery to help users get through long hours without frequent charging; the construct looks slick and handsome, with a metal frame and glass back torturing it out.
The dual camera scheme shall fascinate photography lovers with a 50MP main camera and a 50MP telephoto 2x optical zoom lens. Though it may not feature a periscope lens like its bigger brothers, it is widely expected to be quite good in photos. OnePlus could also, however, make changes to the entire aspect of the camera-a design possibly abandoning a typical circular camera module of their previous offerings. Another rumored shake-up will trade the Alert Slider for a customizable ‘Magic Cube’ key that might wield an array of functions.
As far as the launch and pricing are concerned, the OnePlus 13T/13 Mini is anticipated to become available in the second quarter of 2025, likely in May. There has been no official word on the pricing, but leaks suggest that the device could be one of the cheapest Snapdragon 8 Elite phones. This, therefore, indicates that it might be priced much lower than these other flagship phones that boast the same processor, making it a buy in the eyes of someone who would want top-end performance for a fraction of the price.
This goes to show that the compact flagship phones being worked on by other brands like OPPO are a response to an evident market demand for smaller yet powerful devices. If the leaks do work out, the OnePlus 13T/13 Mini could set a precedent for the rest of the market. Like always, an official announcement is the best way to get confirmed details straight from OnePlus.
