OnePlus 13s vs OnePlus 13: How the ‘compact flagship' may be different
OnePlus 13s is set to launch in India, and the company has begun teasing the device with the tagline "Powered Up, Size Down," suggesting it will be marketed as a compact flagship. OnePlus has already revealed several key details, including the chipset, available colours, design, and specifications like the display size. Curious about how it stacks up against the OnePlus 13, the brand's primary flagship? Here's a comparison between the two based on all the information available so far and what you can expect.
OnePlus 13 is a large phone, featuring a 6.82-inch display. In comparison, the OnePlus 13s will offer a 6.32-inch panel with a 1.5K resolution. This notably means that the OnePlus 13s will be much smaller compared to the OnePlus 13. The brand is also promoting this fact.
Despite its compact size, the phone is expected to be powered by a 6260mAh battery with support for 80W fast charging, which is notably even larger than the flagship OnePlus 13's 6000mAh battery.
The brand has confirmed that the OnePlus 13s will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, just like the OnePlus 13. This means the performance will be on point, and you are unlikely to notice major differences compared to the flagship. The base model could offer 12GB of RAM and go up to 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. OnePlus 13, on the other hand, offers up to 24GB RAM and 1TB storage.
In terms of software, the device is most likely to offer OxygenOS 15 on top of Android 15, just like the OnePlus 13. However, how much software support it will receive remains to be seen and will likely be confirmed once the phone launches.
The OnePlus 13s will offer a dual-camera setup, as confirmed by official teasers released by the company. It features a square camera module. Notably, this is a major departure from the design of the OnePlus 13, which offers a circular camera module and a triple-camera setup.
The OnePlus 13s will likely miss out on the ultra-wide lens. Intead, it is expected to feature a 50MP telephoto shooter alongside a 50MP wide camera. The OnePlus 13, on the other hand, offers a 50MP main wide camera, a 50MP 3x optical zoom shooter, and a 50MP ultra-wide shooter.

Android 16 begins rollout on 11 June: Eligible devices and what to expect
Google is set to begin the phased rollout of its latest mobile operating system, Android 16, on Wednesday, 11 June. The update will initially be available to select Pixel devices as an over-the-air (OTA) software update, with broader availability expected in the coming weeks. Unlike previous years, the tech giant is introducing the stable version of Android 16 earlier than usual, hinting at a renewed focus on improving its release cycle. Although the update marks the official launch of Android 16, most of its headline features — including a redesigned interface and advanced battery health tools — will not be part of the initial version and are scheduled to arrive later through the Android 16 QPR1 (Quarterly Platform Release 1) update. The announcement was confirmed by the official Android Developers account on social media platform X. While Google has confirmed the 11 June release date, no specific rollout time has been disclosed. As with previous Android releases, the update is expected to reach users in stages depending on region and device eligibility, due to global time zone variations. The update is being rolled out first to compatible Pixel smartphones. Google's own devices are usually the first to receive Android updates, with other brands pushing the update later after integrating their respective user interfaces or skins. Confirmed devices expected to receive the update include: Pixel 6, 6 Pro, 6a Pixel 7, 7 Pro Pixel 8, 8 Pro, 8a Pixel Fold, Pixel Tablet Pixel 9, 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL, 9 Pro Fold Pixel 9a S Series: Galaxy S22, S23, S24, S25 Z Series: Fold 4/5/6, Flip 4/5/6 A Series: A24–A26, A34–A36, A54–A56, A73 M Series: M34–M36, M54–M56 F Series: F34, F54, F55 Xiaomi 13, 14, 15 Redmi 12, 13 Redmi Note 13, 14 Redmi K70 OnePlus 11, 12, 13 Nord 3, Nord CE 4, Nord CE 4 Lite Edge 40, 50, 60 Razr 50, 60 G45, G85 While the initial update may not bring sweeping changes, significant enhancements are expected in the coming months with the QPR1 update. One of the standout upgrades could be the Material 3 Expressive interface — a refined take on Google's dynamic design language. This new version will likely feature adaptive colours, smoother animations, and enhanced haptic feedback, offering a more intuitive and responsive user experience. Quick Settings will likely see a design refresh. The brightness slider could be reimagined with a rectangular shape, and tiles may be resized and grouped into categories. A new reset option for quick toggles is believed to be in development. Live Activities, a feature designed for real-time updates, such as tracking sports scores or deliveries, is anticipated to be integrated into the lock screen, status bar, and notification panel.

Vivo T4 Ultra Set to Launch on June 11 in India: Price, Specs, and Features Leaked
Vivo will launch a new smartphone called the Vivo T4 Ultra in India on June 11. This phone is made for fast performance. It will use the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 chip and run on Android 15 with FuntouchOS 15. A leaked report says the phone may cost about ₹35,000, which is a little more than the older Vivo T3 Ultra, which cost ₹31,999. The phone may have a 6.67-inch OLED curved screen. It will support a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth use. The screen will also have 1.5K resolution and be very bright with 5,000 nits peak brightness.

For photos, the Vivo T4 Ultra will have a 50MP main camera with image stabilisation, an 8MP ultra-wide camera, and a 50MP zoom camera with 3x zoom. Leaks also say the phone will have a 5,500mAh battery and 90W fast charging, which means it will charge quickly. The phone might have an IP64 water resistance rating, which is lower than the IP68 rating of the older model. Even so, the Vivo T4 Ultra looks like a good choice for users who want fast speed, a bright screen, and strong camera features.
