Oppo group is rumored to launch compact flagship smartphones. These devices are expected to be released in 2025.
Xiaomi is the only Chinese brand selling compact premium smartphones for a while. Recently, Vivo entered this segment with the launch of X200 Pro Mini.
If rumors are true, we will see similar devices from Oppo and OnePlus in the coming months. Let’s go through everything that we know about these products so far.
According to leaks, there will be two small-screen premium phones from the Oppo group. One of these handsets will be released under the Oppo brand and the other one will bear the OnePlus branding.
Rumors indicate that the Oppo device will be part of the Find X8 lineup. It is sad to go official alongside the Find X8 Ultra in the spring of 2025. The product could be called Find X8 Mini.
On the other hand, the OnePlus handset is tipped to be launched under the Ace series. It is expected to break cover in Q2 2025. We don’t know its final name for now.
2. Will not cannibalize one another
Despite coming from the same company, the two handsets will have some differentiating factors. The most notable one will be their chipsets.
As per leaks, the OnePlus mini smartphone will house a Qualcomm SnCapdragon 8 Elite SoC. Whereas the Oppo model is anticipated to be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 9400 silicon.
They are expected to have different designs. Also, they will likely be available in different finishes and colors.
3. Expected Specs
The OnePlus small-screen flagship smartphone is tipped to sport a 6.31-inch OLED display. This screen is said to offer a 1.5K resolution. We can expect the panel to support 120Hz refresh rate.
There’s a high chance for the Oppo handset to use the same display. However, we cannot deny the possibility of a different screen either.
As for other features, both devices will most likely arrive with downgraded specs compared to their regular-sized counterparts. So they may have different cameras, smaller batteries, and inferior cooling systems to name a few.
The downgrades in features will be due to space constraints and not cost-cutting.
4. Availability and Competition
So far, it is said that both these smartphones will be released in China. There’s no rumor on their global availability yet.
If any or both of these Oppo group mini smartphones make it to the global market, they will face the same competition as in China, except for the Vivo X200 Pro Mini which is exclusive to China.
As of now, the only Chinese compact flagship smartphone that is confirmed to be available globally is the Xiaomi 15, just like its predecessors.
