OnePlus speculation heats up over ‘Pagani’ device

This morning, known tipster Max Jambor shared a cryptic message about OnePlus on X, and that has since sent speculation into a frenzy. OnePlus has already made it clear it has no plans to release the OnePlus Open 2 in 2025, despite all the leaks surrounding the device. That leaves a few likely options: it’s either the foldable for next year, or it could be another device like the rumored OnePlus 13 Mini.

The OnePlus 13 Mini (also suspected to be the OnePlus 13T) is expected to launch sometime in May, offering flagship performance in a compact size. “Pagani” could refer to that, as it’s also the name of an Italian sports car brand known for sleek designs and high performance. If this is the case, it’s no surprise Max Jambor would have information before the rest of the world. He has an inside link to phone companies.

Another tipster throws a wrench into that theory, though. Abhishek Yadav reshared Jambor’s initial post and called the Pagani a foldable device. From the way he phrased it, it isn’t clear whether Yadav meant to speculate or if he was sharing more information.

“Pagani” doesn’t hold much meaning. Loosely translated, it means “urban dwellers,” but is most often used to refer to those with pagan beliefs. It’s also a surname, and as we said before, a car brand. In Italian, words ending with “-ini” are used as a diminutive, but Pagani doesn’t follow that pattern. It’s a stretch, but it could suggest the 13 Mini.

In case it isn’t clear, all of this is speculation. We’re good at digging out nuggets of information, but even we can’t work with just two words. For now, your guess is as good as ours as to what this means. Jambor could be hinting at the OnePlus 13 Mini — a likely outcome, given its expected release date — or he could be referencing the next foldable from the company.

Either way, for now, all we can do is wait for more information to come forward.

This update, which includes the March 2025 security patch, primarily focuses on enhanced customization for the home screen. Users can now resize app folders to either 1x2 or 2x1 dimensions. Additionally, the dock can accommodate five apps when the home screen is set to display four apps per row.

A phone maker can rarely repeatedly surprise you, but Oppo and OnePlus have done that with their folding phones. The OnePlus Open — OnePlus’s first foldable and based on the Oppo Find N3 — has been widely regarded as the best folding phone since its launch in October 2013.

The successor was meant to be the Oppo Find N5. I’ve spent the past month using Oppo’s latest folding phone, and it’s my favorite folding phone right now. It offers a significantly improved experience over the OnePlus Open, but there's one problem: you can't buy it.

OnePlus 13 Mini tipped to have bigger battery than OnePlus 13

The OnePlus 13 Mini (or 13T, depending on the naming scheme) could end up with a larger battery than its flagship cousin, according to leaker Digital Chat Station. According to the tipster, the OnePlus 13 Mini will have a 6,200mAh battery versus the OnePlus 13's 6,000mAh battery.

Considering the smaller size of the OnePlus 13 Mini, a larger battery capacity is impressive enough. Throw in the fact that it will have a 6.3-inch display instead of the 6.8-inch display of the OnePlus 13, and its power demands should drop by a large margin.
