In a move to cater to users who prefer compact smartphones, OnePlus is reportedly gearing up to introduce its own version of the Oppo Find X8 Mini. According to recent leaks from industry insider Digital Chat Station, this device will closely resemble its Oppo counterpart while boasting unique specifications.
The forthcoming OnePlus smartphone will feature a 6.31-inch "1.5K" resolution LTPO OLED display, characterized by thin bezels, similar to the Oppo model. It will also come equipped with an optical in-display fingerprint sensor, as well as a sturdy metal frame and glass body. However, OnePlus will differentiate itself with the inclusion of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC instead of the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 found in the Find X8 Mini.
Likely to be branded as the OnePlus 13T or 13 Mini, this device is expected to house a robust camera setup, including a 50 MP main sensor with Sony's IMX906, an 8 MP ultrawide lens, and a 50 MP periscope telephoto camera featuring 3x optical zoom.
While the OnePlus variant will share many design elements with the Find X8 Mini, the differentiated chipset and camera specifications are set to position it uniquely in the market. According to Digital Chat Station, the pricing of this model will not be entry-level, suggesting a premium market placement aimed at enthusiasts and premium device seekers.
Overall, OnePlus’ decision to create a smaller-screen device indicates a responsiveness to evolving consumer preferences within the smartphone market.
