A reliable tip from Digital Chat Station indicates that the upcoming OnePlus 13 Mini, set for an April release, will feature a surprisingly large 6,000mAh silicon-carbon battery. The compact flagship, sporting a 6.3-inch display, challenges conventional expectations, offering power typically seen in larger models; analysts say it could redefine performance.
A fresh report claims that the OnePlus 13 Mini will not include a ‘mini’ battery. Actually, it will have the polar opposite battery. One of the most reliable sources for such information is Digital Chat Station.
According to the source, the phone would have a battery capacity of 6,000mAh. The massive battery capacity is justified by the phone’s 6.3-inch screen. It’s enormous for a small flagship, and that’s saying something.
Just to give you an idea, the Xiaomi 15 sports a 6.36-inch screen and is backed by a 5,400mAh battery. However, the Galaxy S25 stands out with its 6.2-inch screen and 4,000mAh battery. It appears that OnePlus has lofty goals.
A silicon-carbon battery is, needless to say, what it is. In any case, OnePlus will employ a silicon-carbon battery, regardless of how much smaller it turns out to be. Furthermore, the informant asserts that the phone will be arriving in the first half of the year.
According to an earlier story from Digital Chat Station, the phone might be released in April. That means the device’s launch could still take place in that month. Just when it will hit international markets is something we don’t know.
Also, in the second half of this year, he said, gadgets with larger batteries, 6,500mAh to 7,000mAh, will be available. We still lack all the facts, but he was talking about OnePlus and OPPO devices.
Rumors have emerged that the OnePlus 13 Mini will include a 50-megapixel primary camera (using Sony’s IMX906 sensor) and the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. There was talk of a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera with three times the optical zoom and an 8-megapixel ultrawide sensor. On the other hand, it may come with a rear camera array of just two.
We don’t even know if this phone will launch worldwide at all, much less in April. Its appearance will most likely be similar to that of the OnePlus 13. It is highly probable that OnePlus will employ a quad micro-curved design.
