The rumored OnePlus 13 Mini is expected to pack flagship features into a smaller design. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, it boasts a 6.31-inch 120Hz LTPO OLED display and a dual 50MP camera system. Its release outside of China remains uncertain.
FollowThe OnePlus 13 series, including the flagship OnePlus 13 and the affordable sibling OnePlus 13R, are currently one of the top Android phones in their respective price markets. This is because OnePlus' flagship smartphones offer a strong combination of robust hardware and strong performance. However, the series is not yet finished. According to rumors, OnePlus intends to release a new little model, which raises the possibility that the OnePlus 13 little would appeal to consumers looking for premium features in a more compact design.
In a recent Weibo post, Lao Haoran, the industrial designer for OnePlus, revealed that the company's phones would undergo a significant redesign in 2025. The internet was inundated with rumors after his statement that OnePlus was working on a new tiny model, the OnePlus 13 mini. Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite, which has seven cores and powers the flagship OnePlus 13, is anticipated to power this next version. This suggests that the OnePlus 13 Mini, although being a smaller handset, as its name implies, would not sacrifice power and will be just as competent as the flagship models, competing with smaller flagships like the Galaxy S25.
