Just when we thought we had the next OnePlus smartphone pegged as the 13T, the company throws a curveball at us and confirms its first compact flagship will actually be called the OnePlus 13s. Yep, 's', not 't'. This little powerhouse is officially heading to India soon, aiming to prove that you don't need pockets like clown trousers to wield top-tier tech. Tucked inside its sleek frame will be the brand-spanking-new Snapdragon 8 Elite platform, Qualcomm's latest beast, promising enough power to make mince pies out of demanding apps and games, plus some fancy AI smarts. All this is paired with a manageable 6.32-inch display, making it a tempting proposition for anyone fed up with phones the size of bricks. Keep an eye on the OnePlus India page for more updates.

OnePlus is also making sure the 13s looks the part. For the India launch, you'll be able to snag it in two rather fetching finishes. There's Black Velvet and the Pink Satin, the latter being the first time OnePlus has dipped its toes into the pink paint pot. They reckon it adds a vibrant, refreshing aesthetic, and who are we to argue? Both promise that lovely premium feel we expect from OnePlus.
That's all we have for now. OnePlus is keeping mum on the exact launch date and, crucially, the price tag for the OnePlus 13s in India, promising more details "in the coming weeks". Folks, this could be the small phone champion we've been waiting for, and you can hear all about it right here, so stay tuned for more!
