Rumors surrounding upcoming phones appear daily, from the iPhone 17 Slim to Samsung’s next Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 devices. There’s one phone in particular that has seen an increase in teasers recently however, and that’s the next phone to launch from OnePlus. 

The Chinese company already confirmed the OnePlus 13T was coming – on April Fools no less – and the device has appeared on AnTuTu with some impressive benchmarking scores. OnePlus has also previously shared a teaser image showing off an action button in place of the signature action slider, and now another official teaser image has appeared.

What is the latest rumor for the OnePlus 13T?

This time, the teaser image was shared on Weibo by OnePlus president Louis Lee, spotted by Android Headlines, and it refers to the bezels surrounding the OnePlus 13T’s display.

In the post, Lee says (translated): “Many people asked how the front R corner of #OnePlus13T# is controlled? Because when we communicated with some small-screen users in the early stage, they said they liked the R corner processing of the iPhone, so we took a comparison with the iPhone 16 Pro.”

The post is accompanied by an image comparing the OnePlus 13T with the iPhone 16 Pro and it shows some very slim borders around its flat screen. It’s possible they are marginally slimmer than the iPhone 16 Pro, though there’s not a huge amount in it if they are.

Lee added in the post (translated): “Everyone can see that the OnePlus 13T not only has excellent border control, but also the visual perception of the R corner is also very comfortable, and it will not feel uncomfortable when used. When it is released, we will talk in detail about how good the “small and beautiful” OnePlus 13T feels.”

The action button that will replace the alert slider can also be seen in the image on the left edge, while the volume buttons and power button are shown on the right. 

The OnePlus 13T is expected to run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite platform and feature a 6.31-inch OLED display. Rumors suggest it will have two 50-megapixel cameras on the rear and come with a 6,000mAh battery. It is due to launch in April, though whether it will arrive outside of China is currently unclear.

MediaTek’s next flagship processor is already trailing Qualcomm in an early CPU showdown. Geekbench 7 results put MediaTek’s MT6995, expected to launch as the Dimensity 9600 Pro, behind Qualcomm’s SM8975, which is tipped to become the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6, in both single-core and multi-core performance.

The MediaTek chip scored 3,242 in single-core and 11,132 in multi-core testing. Qualcomm’s upcoming flagship reached 3,582 and 12,247, giving it roughly a 10% lead in both tests.

iPhone SOS Feature

Usually, footnotes are all about burying bad news from a launch event, something that will hit people where it hurts. But Apple did the opposite with its recent launch. 

Buried in a footnote in this week's iPhone 18 Pro release is good news, specifically for old iPhone users: Apple just extended free access to its satellite-based safety features.

iOS 27 beta 2 update on iPhone

Apple spent plenty of time talking about its shiny new iPhone 18 Pro models this week, but you won't need to buy a new phone to get one of its biggest announcements. iOS 27 officially arrives on September 14, bringing Apple's long-awaited Siri overhaul to supported iPhones. Apple first showed off iOS 27 at WWDC in June, and the software has spent the past few months moving through developer and public betas. Now, the finished version is almost ready for everyone.

Plenty of smaller changes are scattered throughout iOS 27, but Siri AI definitely grabs all the attention. This isn't just Apple adding a few new commands to the existing assistant, either. Siri has been rebuilt to better understand what you're asking and, more importantly, handle multi-step requests.
