The OnePlus 13 Mini (or 13T, depending on the naming scheme) could end up with a larger battery than its flagship cousin, according to leaker Digital Chat Station. According to the tipster, the OnePlus 13 Mini will have a 6,200mAh battery versus the OnePlus 13‘s 6,000mAh battery.

Considering the smaller size of the OnePlus 13 Mini, a larger battery capacity is impressive enough. Throw in the fact that it will have a 6.3-inch display instead of the 6.8-inch display of the OnePlus 13, and its power demands should drop by a large margin.

This isn’t the first prediction Digital Chat Station has made regarding the OnePlus 13 Mini’s battery. In February, the tipster suggested it could have a capacity of at least 6,000mAh. OnePlus — in this case, Oppo — seems to be taking a battery-first approach to many of its devices, with even the Oppo Watch X2 Mini receiving a noteworthy battery capacity for a smartwatch.

In addition to increased capacity, the OnePlus 13 Mini is said to support 80W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. Even if you heavily use your phone, these speeds will allow you to top off its charge in a much shorter time than comparable devices. And with just how good the OnePlus 13 is, we expect the 13 Mini to punch well above its weight class.

The 13 Mini is rumored to have a 50MP main and a 50MP telephoto camera, and possibly an 8MP ultrawide camera. Of course, OnePlus hasn’t made any official announcements yet about the handset, so we’re going off information that has been leaked. There’s no set release date, either, although the OnePlus 13 Mini is expected to see its initial launch in April with the global launch to follow shortly thereafter.

OnePlus 13T design leaks and it’s got serious iPhone vibes
OnePlus 13T leak

OnePlus was one of the first to release its flagship smartphone offering at the beginning of the year, beating everyone - including Samsung - to the punch with its OnePlus 13 series. The OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R were made available  globally on 7 January but there's another device set to join the line up in the OnePlus 13T. 

OnePlus has already confirmed the device is coming, and there have been a number of leaks surrounding it too, including that it will run on Qualcomm's flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. The latest leak - or leaks we should say - present what the OnePlus 13T could look like though, and well, it's somewhat familiar.

Is a $500 OnePlus Watch 3 still worth buying? The answer is complicated
A person wearing the OnePlus Watch 3.

The OnePlus Watch 3’s price has suddenly increased to $500, but we reviewed the smartwatch when it cost $330. It hasn’t become a different device overnight, no additional features have been added, and it doesn’t come with a solid gold bracelet. OnePlus has not made a comment on why the price has increased, but as it has (so far) only increased in the U.S., it’s fairly safe to assume the price increase is due to U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs, as the OnePlus Watch 3 is made in China.

The question now becomes, is the OnePlus Watch 3 worth $500 and should you still buy it? The answer is complicated.

OnePlus 13 users can finally experience Android 16

OnePlus 13 users eager to try Android 16 can do so now. An announcement on the official OnePlus Forums states that users of OnePlus’ newest phone can download Android 16 Beta 2 on their devices. According to the note, the beta won’t be made available to OnePlus 13R users, at least to yet.

Whether OnePlus 13 users should download the Android 16 beta is another story. As 9to5Google rightly notes, early releases of OxygenOS, which sits on top of Android on OnePlus devices, haven’t always played nice with beta versions.
