OnePlus recently launched the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R globally, but rumors suggest it might have another phone up its sleeve. Leaks point to a smaller “OnePlus 13 Mini” on the horizon.
It was initially teased in December by Digital Chat Station, a reliable Chinese leaker. Specs for this compact powerhouse have now surfaced from the same contact (via Android Headlines). It is believed that the OnePlus 13 Mini could be a rebranded Oppo Find X8 Mini, a device that launched in China last year.
The OnePlus 13 Mini wouldn’t be the company’s first compact phone. Ten years ago, it released the OnePlus X, which featured a 5-inch display and a top-end Qualcomm processor. That phone was priced at $250. Granted, at the time, the X wasn’t seen as a “small” phone, since phones were generally a lot smaller.
The OnePlus 13 features a 6.82-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Its camera system, co-developed with Hasselblad, includes a 50MP primary sensor equipped with Sony’s technology, a 50MP ultrawide lens, and a 32MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom.
In contrast, the recently announced OnePlus 13R is designed as a performance-driven smartphone that offers a flagship-like experience at a more accessible price point. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor powers it and it features a 6.74-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Its camera system includes a 50MP primary sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS), a 12MP ultrawide lens, and a 2MP macro lens.
A OnePlus 13 Mini would likely attract interest, particularly if it’s priced similarly to the OnePlus X, although that seems unlikely. However, labeling it as a small phone would not be accurate, it’s just smaller than OnePlus’ usual phones. The popular iPhone 16, for instance, has a 6.1-inch display, and few people consider it tiny.
Are you tired of paying for streaming services you never watch just to get a phone plan feature you actually want? T-Mobile has good news for you! The carrier is rolling out new plans, called T-Mix, in early November to replace its old Experience lineup with a build-your-own perks system called Picks.
The benefits you choose vary from streaming and gaming to food delivery, AI, satellite service, and phone discounts. But if you are satisfied with your existing plan, you can keep it.
Merely days after the iPhone Duo hit the shelves, images of broken screens on the phone started popping up across social media. Until now, it’s been unclear what’s causing the line of defective pixels that appears vertically along the crease, as well as horizontally, on the phone’s inner display.
Apple has finally acknowledged the issue, which has shown up on iPhone Duo units owned by customers as well as demo units in stores. In a statement shared with Bloomberg, Apple says that not all iPhone Duo units are affected and that those that are tend to show the display fault early on. The company added that users who experience problems with their iPhone Duo display should contact AppleCare for a replacement.
Not long ago, Apple treated independent repair like an act of outright hostility. The Cupertino giant locked down parts with serial-number pairing, while repair tools remained firmly out of reach of anyone outside its authorized repair network. More importantly, the company waged a legal and lobbying battle against right-to-repair legislation.
I've covered enough of these fights over the years to know what a shift looks like. That's why what happened in October 2026 genuinely caught me off guard. The day the iPhone Duo went on sale, what may be the most mechanically complex iPhone to date, Apple pulled off a surprising about-face. It published teardown-style repair manuals for a handful of major components.
