News India Live, Digital Desk: In the last few years, the smartphone brands are slowly moving towards the maximum size device. Do you remember the compact phone that used to be very comfortable to use and keep together all day? However, Android device entered the world of big display phones. The larger the display, the better gaming and entertainment experience. However, it is true that we are lost somewhere – compact phone. The end of the iPhone Mini, in which the last iPhone was 13 mini and the end of Asus Zenphone in India, made it even more loud and clear. Perhaps the general public does not want it.
But there is still a dedicated fan for small phones. When it comes to options, I can count them on fingers: Samsung Galaxy S25, Google Pixel 9, Pixel 9A, and maybe something else. That is all. In the lack of compact phones, OnePlus is again hoping with its imminent launch of OnePlus 13S, which has so far been teased as a compact flagship smartphone. What is special in this, and why am I excited for it? There are reasonable reasons for this.
OnePlus 13s: Why to wait is beneficial
We have reviewed and tested the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R – both have proved their performance, software experience and premium design abilities in their respective price categories. Now, Tech veteran is bringing another siblings for them-OnePlus 13S. This will be compact with a 6.32 -inch display, which is quite good for catching a small smartphone. In comparison, the Samsung Galaxy S25 also has a 6.2 -inch display, Google Pixel 9 has a 6.3 -inch display, and the iPhone 16 has a 6.1 -inch display. Although OnePlus 13S is not bringing the most compact android in the current era, it has other factors that make it exciting:
Flagship display at reasonable price
Before starting, just remember that Samsung Galaxy S25 was launched for Rs 74,999, iPhone 16 to Rs 79,999 and Pixel 9 for Rs 79,999. Although the official price of OnePlus 13s is still a mystery, however, the leak suggests that it can be around Rs 50,000. Given that OnePlus 13 was launched for Rs 69,999, it makes sense. At a reasonable price, Snapdragon 8 Elite Chipset is expected to be performed in OnePlus 13S.
Proven confidence of onePlus
Given the performance of OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R, it can be assumed that the upcoming compact device will share several features and experiences with other members of its series. However, what will bring new to the table, it remains to be seen.
A new plus key
OnePlus revealed that OnePlus 13S would get a new physical button called “Plus Ki”, which could be customized so that you can choose your task for it.
Worrying things
Compact smartphones often compromise with battery life. Whether or not this problem will be cured with the launch of OnePlus 13S, it is not yet known. Also, how will it perform? For this, we have to wait for the official launch.
