Emerging Competitive Landscape: OnePlus and Oppo’s Mini Smartphones
Recent reports indicate that Oppo is preparing to unveil the Find X8 Mini, which will launch concurrently with the flagship Find X8 Ultra and complement its existing offerings, including the Find X8 and Find X8 Pro.
In a parallel move, OnePlus appears eager to join the trend of compact smartphones. According to fresh insights from Digital Chat Station, OnePlus plans to introduce a variant inspired by Oppo’s upcoming Find X8 Mini.
Key Features: Display and Design
The anticipated OnePlus smartphone will feature a 6.31-inch LTPO OLED display with a “1.5K” resolution, characterized by its minimal bezels surrounding all edges. Furthermore, it is expected to incorporate an optical in-display fingerprint sensor for enhanced security, while maintaining a premium metal frame combined with glass casing. In contrast to the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 rumored for the Find X8 Mini, this model will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC.
Camera Configuration Details
This forthcoming device may bear the name OnePlus 13T or OnePlus 13 mini. It promises an impressive camera system featuring a primary lens boasting 50 MP resolution utilizing Sony’s IMX906 sensor alongside an additional 8 MP ultrawide shooter and another telephoto lens capable of offering up to three times optical zoom with individual pixel performance also at 50 MP.
Market Positioning and Pricing Insights
The differences in chipset selection and camera specifications signal that while closely resembling its Oppo counterpart visually and structurally, this new entry from OnePlus diverges in core technology aspects. Notably, Digital Chat Station suggests that this model won’t be positioned as budget-friendly; rather it appears it will occupy a higher market segment compared to previous models like the upcoming OnePlus 13R—albeit likely at a lower price point than what has been established for the flagship OnePlus 13 series.
