OnePlus’ compact phone details leaked

According to DCS, the upcoming OnePlus compact phone will feature a 6.3-inch custom-made flat display that offers a 1.5K resolution. The camera design is described as a horizontal small matrix, which is quite minimalistic and somewhat reminiscent of the Pixel series. The primary camera is expected to be a 50-megapixel IMX906 sensor, and there will be no periscope lens.

The device is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. The engineering prototype model is currently undergoing testing with a short-focus fingerprint sensor, and internal deliberations are ongoing regarding the inclusion of single-point ultrasonic fingerprint technology.

The tipster also notes that using a short-focus fingerprint sensor on a small-screen phone is not as uncomfortable as it would be on a larger-screen device, despite the device’s intended online sales. There is a hope that this compact phone will be positioned to compete with similar devices from Xiaomi, but this is not confirmed yet.

DCS has previously claimed that OnePlus’ compact phone will debut in the second quarter of 2025 in China. Additionally, he disclosed that the device will belong to the Ace series, implying a potential moniker of OnePlus Ace 5 Mini.

Speaking of Ace-branded phones, OnePlus will be launching the OnePlus Ace 5 and Ace 5 Pro later this month in China. According to reports, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Snapdragon 8 Elite chipsets, respectively, power these devices. The Ace 5 duo will rival the Redmi K80 series, the iQOO Neo 10 series, and the Realme Neo 7 in the Chinese market.
