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.

The post What to Expect from Upcoming Oppo/OnePlus Mini Smartphones appeared first on Gizmochina.

OnePlus has been rumored to be working on a new compact flagship smartphone for a while now. This model could be called the OnePlus 13T or OnePlus 13 Mini. While there is no official teaser for this device, a bunch of concept renders have offered us a look at the possible design of the upcoming small premium phone. So let’s check it out.

OnePlus 13 Mini/13T Concept Renders

The Chinese brand’s upcoming OnePlus 13T was previously seen in mock renders, and now, new concept renders from Xiaohongshu on Weibo have revealed different iterations as well. These concept renders showcase the dual rear cameras in different orientations. Even the LED flash module has multiple variations. But what really caught our eye was how much these designs resemble certain older models.

One of these includes a horizontally aligned camera setup at the back, which makes it look like the old OnePlus 5 flagship model. In another concept, the OnePlus 13T looks more like the Nord CE 4 with its vertically stacked sensors and LED flash module. One of these even included a variation that featured the Hasselblad collaboration, but it’s unclear whether this model also gets the camera brand’s tuning. Although, every render has a couple of things in common like two cameras at the back and a flat rear panel with rounded corners.

Based on what we know so far, the OnePlus 13T is expected to be the cheapest Snapdragon 8 Elite powered smartphone. The model could sport a 6.31-inch LTPO OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. On the rear, the device has a 50MP main camera and 50MP telephoto shooter with 2x optical zoom. A massive 6,000mAh battery could power this device, which supports wired and wireless charging.

The post OnePlus 13 Mini/13T concept renders reminds of us older OnePlus phones appeared first on Gizmochina.

The smartphone industry is gearing up for some exciting launches of flagship smartphones from top brands. These devices are set to push the boundaries of performance, mobile photography, and innovation. So if you’re looking to upgrade your phone, these are the upcoming flagship phones that you should be excited about.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge

Samsung is working on a highly anticipated flagship model that is shaping up to be an ultra slim premium smartphone. The device in question is the Galaxy S25 Edge. The Edge doesn’t suggest the old curved screens, rather, a razer thin form factor. One of its highlighting aspects is its 5 to 6mm thin chassis and lightweight body.

But despite this compact design, it still packs the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy under the hood. While it skips a telephoto shooter on the back, there is a 200MP + 8MP dual camera setup. A relatively small 3,900mAh battery pack is expected to power this device, which may support 25W wired fast charging.

Vivo X200 Pro Mini

Small flagship phones are far and few in between with the iPhone 16 and Galaxy S25 being one of the rear examples. But Chinese brands are also bringing some relatively compact devices with an upcoming model being the Vivo X200 Pro Mini. It is a flagship grade device with cutting edge Zeiss cameras, a 6.31-inch display, and a massive 5,700mAh battery despite its small build.

Only the base X200 and X200 Pro made it to the global market, but recently rumors have hinted at the Vivo X200 Pro Mini heading to the Indian market along with the X200 Ultra. The Xiaomi 15 was also recently unveiled with a similar display size, so the X200 Pro Mini will likely be another Chinese contender to the Galaxy S25 and the iPhone 16.

Nothing Phone (3)

It has been a while since we’ve seen a flagship smartphone from Carl Pei’s Nothing. The brand just announced the new Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro as mid range models with great specs. But there have also been reports regarding a premium device also being in the works.

This model is expected to be dubbed the Nothing Phone (3). Rumros have hinted at a tall 6.7-inch LTPO OLED panel and the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 (or higher) processor. A sizeable 5,000mAh battery pack could power this transparent device, which will likely offer 65W wired fast charging. The Phone (3) will likely retain the Glyph LED interface along with a transparent back and aluminum frame for its iconic design. Similar to the Phone (3a) series, we can expect the inclusion of a triple camera setup with a periscope telephoto shooter.

OnePlus 13 Mini/13T

Sticking with the trend of Chinese smartphone brands making compact flagship phones, we have the OnePlus 13T or OnePlus 13 Mini. This model is rumored to sport a 6.3-inch display on the front, while the rear may feature a dual camera setup similar to the Galaxy S25 Edge. However, it has two major advantages in terms of hardware.

The OnePlus 13T might be the cheapest Snapdragon 8 Elite powered smartphone and it might house a massive 6,000mAh battery pack despite its small build. This device could offer wired fast charging and wireless fast charging support along with an optical in-display fingerprint scanner.

Oppo Find X8S/Find X8 Mini

Matching OnePlus, Xiaomi, and Vivo, Chinese OEM Oppo is also rumored to be working on a new “Mini” phone. The exact name of this model is still unclear but reports have claimed that it could be either the Find X8s or the Find X8 Mini. Just like the OnePlus 13T, the smartphone is expected to have a 6.3-inch LTPO OLED display on the front.

On the rear, there is a triple camera setup with a periscope telephoto shooter. Similar to the X200 Pro Mini, it may pack a big 5,700mAh battery pack with 80W wired fast charging and 50W wireless fast charging. Other notable features include an IP68/69 rated body, 50MP triple cameras, and the Dimensity 9400+ SoC.

The post Upcoming Flagship Smartphones You Should Be Excited About: Galaxy S25 Edge, Vivo X200 Pro Mini, & More appeared first on Gizmochina.

OnePlus is rumored to be working on a new compact flagship smartphone that will compete with the likes of the Apple iPhone 16, Samsung Galaxy S25, and even some Chinese branded competitors. But ahead of any official announcement, a fresh leak has revealed some exciting details regarding the upcoming OnePlus 13 Mini/13T. So let’s check it out.

OnePlus 13 Mini/13T Leaked with Impressive Battery & Affordable Pricing

The news arrives from known tipster Smart Pikachu who shared the information on Weibo. He believes that the OnePlus 13 Mini (maybe called the OnePlus 13T) could be launched soon with a compact design. But despite its small form factor, the device is expected to pack an impressively large battery capacity of 6,000mAh, which is also in line with our previous report. If this is true, then it handily beats models like the Galaxy S25, which only has a 4,000mAh cell.

The second reason that the OnePlus 13 Mini is highly anticipated is its pricing. The tipster claims that the upcoming compact flagship will be one of the cheapest Snapdragon 8 Elite powered smartphones in the market. So, it might undercut other small flagships like the Xiaomi 15 in terms of pricing. But making the OnePlus 13T highly competitive in pricing, the brand is likely planning to cut corners in some ways.

One of these could be the downgrade to just two cameras on the rear like the upcoming Galaxy S25 Edge. Another aspect that is taking a hit is the fingerprint scanner. The OnePlus 13 launched with an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner, but the new compact phone is expected to house an optical fingerprint sensor. This is all the details we have at the moment, so stick around for more.

The phone will house a triple camera setup, including a 50-megapixel Sony IMX906 main camera, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera with a 3x optical zoom.

Under the hood, it will feature a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. Wireless charging, an optical in-screen fingerprint sensor, and a glass back are all expected to be a part of the package as well. More details on the devices are expected to emerge as we move closer to the alleged April launch window.

In other news, Oppo, the sister-brand of OnePlus is preparing to launch the Find N5 foldable smartphone on February 20. So far, we know that the device features a 9.2mm slim profile when folded, a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, a 5,700mAh battery, and up to 16GB RAM with 1TB storage. It supports 80W wired and 50W wireless charging and runs ColorOS 15-based Android 15 with DeepSeek-R1 integration. The camera setup includes three 50MP sensors with OIS and 3x optical zoom. It also offers IPX9 water resistance. Both the Chinses launch and the global launch of the device will be held simultaneously.

OnePlus has recently launched the OnePlus Ace 5 series of smartphones in China. Before that, the brand unveiled the OnePlus 13 in October 2024 for the home market. A new leak, courtesy of tipster Digital Chat Station, reveals the existence of a new compact-sized OnePlus flagship. Although the tipster has not confirmed the device’s moniker, he believes that it could be the OnePlus 13 Mini or OnePlus 13T.

OnePlus 13 Mini / OnePlus 13T in the works

Previous reports suggested that OnePlus is developing a compact flagship phone, which was initially rumoured to belong to the Ace 5 series. However, a new leak from Digital Chat Station, who is known for reliable leaks, indicates that this mysterious device is internally referred to as part of the numbered series. Given its high-end positioning and compact size, DCS speculates that the phone could debut as the OnePlus 13T or perhaps the OnePlus 13 Mini, reflecting its “mini” form factor.

OnePlus 13 Mini / OnePlus 13T leaked specifications

According to the tipster, the OnePlus 13 Mini has a 6.31-inch LTPO OLED with narrow bezels on all four sides. The screen will have a 1.5K resolution and a short-focus in-screen fingerprint sensor.

Similarities with Oppo Find X8 Mini

Several reports have also revealed that Oppo may launch the Oppo Find X8 Mini alongside the Find X8 Ultra in March of this year in China. The tipster responded by stating that the OnePlus 13 Mini will differ from the X8 Mini in areas such as photography and chipset.

The Find X8 Mini rumors have revealed that it will feature the Dimensity 9400 chipset. A recent leak claimed that it will have a 50-megapixel IMX9-series main camera and a 50-megapixel high-quality periscope zoom lens in its triple camera setup. The device is also said to support wireless charging. Its other specs include a 6.31-inch LTPO OLED panel with a 1.5K resolution, a metal middle frame, and a glass back.
