According to rumors, OnePlus is developing a new small flagship smartphone that will rival the Samsung Galaxy S25, Apple iPhone 16, and some Chinese-branded rivals. However, some intriguing information about the OnePlus 13 Mini/13T has been leaked before any formal announcement.
Weibo is where the news was revealed by well-known tipster Smart Pikachu. With its small form factor, he thinks the OnePlus 13 Mini (also known as the OnePlus 13T) may be released shortly. However, it is anticipated that the smartphone would have a 6,000mAh battery, which is in keeping with our earlier story, despite its compact form factor. If accurate, it easily outperforms devices with a 4,000mAh battery, such as the Galaxy S25.
The OnePlus 13 Mini’s price is the second factor contributing to its high level of anticipation. According to the source, the future little flagship would be among the most affordable smartphones with Snapdragon 8 Elite. Therefore, in terms of price, it may be less expensive than other small flagships like the Xiaomi 15. However, the company is probably going to take some shortcuts to make the OnePlus 13T very competitive in terms of price.
The decrease to only two back cameras, like the next Galaxy S25 Edge, may be one of them. The fingerprint scanner is another area that is suffering. An optical fingerprint sensor is anticipated to be included in the upcoming little phone, however the OnePlus 13 debuted with an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint reader. Stay tuned for further information since these are the only facts we know.
