Compact flagships are back in a big way, and both OnePlus and OPPO have just announced their latest offerings. The OnePlus 13T and the Oppo Find X8s are two sleek devices that are palm friendly, offer flagship grade performance, and premium features. But which one deserves your attention? Read on to find out.
1. Design
Both phones take a refined approach to design, focusing on compact form factors without sacrificing a premium feel. While both models sport a 6.32-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, the Oppo Find X8s easily takes the win over the OnePlus 13T.
The Oppo Find X8s has a slimmer 7.73mm body that weighs 179 grams. It also offers an IP68 + IP69 rating for impressive water and dust resistance. Meanwhile, the OnePlus 13T has a chunkier 8.15mm body that has a slightly more heft of 185 grams. The IP65 rating is also a step down from the Oppo compact flagship.
2. Camera
The camera department is another area where the Oppo Find X8s takes a win over the OnePlus 13T. The former is simply more versatile than the latter thanks to its triple camera setup. OnePlus packs the 13T with a 50MP main camera along with a 50MP telephoto shooter with 2x optical zoom and OIS support (Optical Image Stabilization). For selfies and video calls, there is the 16MP shooter on the front.
Oppo matches this with a 50MP main and 50MP telephoto shooter as well. But it also offers a 50MP ultra wide angle lens, allowing for wider shots. The telephoto camera also offers a higher 3.5x optical zoom, which gives it an edge in magnified pictures. There is also a 32MP front facing camera.
3. Performance
Both small flagships are quite similar in terms of performance. The Snapdragon 8 Elite is one of the fastest chipsets that powers premium Android smartphones, which easily has an edge over MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400. This is the same chip that powers the OnePlus 13T. On the other hand, the Oppo Find X8s is equipped with the latest Dimensity 9400+ that offers better performance, making it nearly even in terms of performance against the Snapdragon 8 Elite.
But one area the OnePlus 13T triumphs is the battery capacity. It houses a massive 6,260mAh battery pack, which supports 80W wired fast charging. In comparison, the Find X8s has a smaller but respectable 5,700mAh cell that supports not only 80W wired but also 50W wireless fast charging.
4. Pricing and Verdict
The Oppo Find X8s has plenty of advantages over the OnePlus 13T. But all of this comes at a cost. The OnePlus 13T has a starting price tag of 3,399 Yuan (roughly 466 US Dollars). This makes it over 100 US Dollars cheaper than the Oppo Find X8S, which starts from 4,199 Yuan (roughly 576 US Dollars). So while the Find X8s is a more rounded flagship and easily recommendable, the 13T can be great for those on a tighter budget.
