A mini OnePlus 13 is reportedly coming

OnePlus launched the OnePlus 13 and the OnePlus 13R to important acclaim final month, and it appears the corporate isn’t stopping there with its hit lineup.

In line with identified tipster Digital Chat Station on the Chinese language social media platform Weibo, OnePlus is gearing as much as launch in March the OnePlus 13 mini, a smaller model of its well-liked flagship handset. Whereas the OnePlus 13R is technically smaller than the OnePlus 13, it’s solely by a tiny margin.

The OnePlus 13 mini is rumored to have a 6.3-inch AMOLED show, a lot smaller than the OnePlus 13’s 6.82-inch show and the OnePlus 13R’s 6.78-inch show. Energy-wise, the mini could possibly be the identical because the OnePlus 13, because it’s reportedly geared up with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.

The OnePlus 13 mini would possibly go for an optical fingerprint sensor

It’s presently unclear what digital camera array the OnePlus 13 mini could have. Digital Chat Station initially reported that the cellphone might have a 50-megapixel main shooter, a 50-megapixel telephoto lens with 3x zoom, and an eight-megapixel ultra-wide lens (through GSMArena).

Contradicting their earlier leak, the tipster is now reporting, primarily based on their sources, that the OnePlus 13 mini could forgo the eight-megapixel ultra-wide lens and as an alternative function a dual-camera setup, in contrast to the triple-camera configuration seen on the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R. They warning that OnePlus has but to substantiate this digital camera association, which means it might change earlier than the cellphone’s official announcement. Thus, it is smart to deal with this rumor with a grain of salt.

One other compromise the OnePlus 13 mini might have is its fingerprint sensor — choosing an optical fingerprint sensor as an alternative of the ultrasonic one discovered within the OnePlus 13.

As somebody who prefers a 6.3-inch or 6.1-inch show over the 6.7 to six.9-inch shows that the majority smartphone corporations launch these days, I’m intrigued by the potential of a smaller OnePlus 13. Even with just a few compromises right here and there, if the value is correct, it might function a incredible various to the OnePlus 13 with out compromising on energy. The cellphone could possibly be revealed in March, so preserve your eyes peeled.
