OnePlus 13 Mini: 3C Certification
As spotted by folks at GizmoChina, a new Oppo phone with the model number PKX110 has appeared in China’s 3C database. The listing does not confirm the exact name of the device, but tipster DigitalChatStation on Weibo claims it is the OnePlus 13T or 13 Mini.
The listing reveals that the phone supports 80W fast charging and has 5G connectivity but does not mention any other specifications.
OnePlus 13 Mini: Design Renders
Renders of the OnePlus 13 Mini or 13T, created by Xiaohongshu, have surfaced on Weibo. They showcase multiple back panel variations, with camera layouts arranged both vertically and horizontally. Some renders feature single or dual LED flashes, followed by the OnePlus logo at the center.
All the renders depict a dual-camera setup on the back. However, one render shows a rectangular camera module with Hasselblad branding. One of them also resembles the iPhone 16’s rear design.
The phone’s overall design closely resembles the Nord 4, featuring a boxy frame with rounded edges. The volume and power buttons are positioned on the right, while what seems to be the new Action button, possibly replacing the Alert Slider, is seen on the left frame.
The listing associates these renders with 13 Mini and 13T, but it is unclear which specific model they represent.
What Specs to Expect?
If leaks are accurate, it could be the most affordable smartphone featuring the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. As for other specs, the phone may come with a flat 6.31-inch 1.5K LTPO display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Interestingly, this would make it the same size as Vivo’s compact flagship, the X200 Mini.
The OnePlus device is expected to feature dual rear cameras, including a 50-megapixel Sony IMX906 primary sensor and a 50-megapixel Samsung JN5 2x telephoto lens.
The handset is also rumored to feature a 6,000mAh Silicon-carbon battery with support for 80W fast charging. It might include wireless charging as well. On the software front, it is expected to run OxygenOS 15 based on Android 15.
OnePlus 13 Mini: Expected Launch Date and Price
The OnePlus 13T or OnePlus 13 Mini is expected to launch in May 2025. Since tipsters claim it will be the most affordable phone with the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, we expect it to launch at a lower price than the Realme GT 7 Pro Racing Edition, which is priced at CNY 3,099 (roughly ₹36,800) for the 12GB RAM + 256GB variant in China.
