As per the tipster, the rumoured OnePlus 13 Mini or the OnePlus 13T phone could sport a triple rear camera setup including a 50-megapixel Sony IMX906 primary sensor, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide shooter, and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. The tipster added that the camera details in the actual product may vary.

Responding to another Weibo user, the tipster said that the purported OnePlus 13 Mini or the OnePlus 13T model will vary from the rumoured Oppo Find X8 Mini in terms of chipset and camera hardware. The latter is tipped to come with a MediaTek Dimensity 9400 SoC and a triple rear camera unit, including a Sony IMX9 series main sensor and a 50-megapixel 'high-quality' periscope shooter.
