There’s been a resurgence of small smartphones, especially in the premium category. While the base Samsung Galaxy S25 and vanilla Apple iPhone 16 come from an existing line of compact flagship phones, newer models like the Xiaomi 15 and Vivo X200 Pro Mini are targeting the same segment as well. Chinese brands like Oppo and OnePlus are also working on their own small flagships, so here’s what we can expect from the OnePlus 13T/OnePlus 13 Mini and Oppo Find F8S.
OnePlus 13T/13 Mini
While Oppo and OnePlus often share tech and even specs between certain models (causing them to be rebranded smartphones), the OnePlus 13T is quite different from the Oppo Find X8S. The biggest difference is the processor, with the 13T rumored to pack the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Reports have also hinted at the device being the most affordable smartphone with this chipset.
The OnePlus 13T is expected to sport a 6.31-inch LTPO OLED display with a 1.5K resolution along with a 120Hz refresh rate, and an optical in-display fingerprint scanner. For the design, the phone offers a glass back with a metallic frame.
The rear features a dual camera setup with a 50MP OIS main camera and an 8MP ultra wide angle lens. Despite its compact form factor, the OnePlus 13T may pack a massive 6,200mAh battery, which is larger than even the 6.82-inch OnePlus 13 model. However, you’re getting slower 80W wired fast charging and 50W fast wireless charging support.
Oppo Find X8S
The Oppo Find X8S is rumored to be the “Mini” smartphone model from the Chinese brand. There are rumors of this model launching alongside the Find X8S+ with a 6.59-inch display. However, the base Find X8S matches the 13T with a 6.3-inch OLED display. This panel may launch with a 1.5K resolution along with a high refresh rate.
Oppo is rumored to equip the Find X8S with the new Dimensity 9400+ SoC. A sizeable 5,700mAh battery pack could power this compact smartphone, which reportedly offers 80W wired and 50W wireless fast charging.
The camera setup retains three sensors on the back with a 50MP OIS main camera, 50MP Samsung JN5 telephoto shooter, and an 8MP ultra wide angle lens. Other notable features include a new pressable push-type hardware button over an Alert Slider, an IP68 + IP69 rating, a slim 7mm body, and 179 grams weight.
