OnePlus 13T leak

OnePlus was one of the first to release its flagship smartphone offering at the beginning of the year, beating everyone – including Samsung – to the punch with its OnePlus 13 series. The OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R were made available  globally on 7 January but there’s another device set to join the line up in the OnePlus 13T

OnePlus has already confirmed the device is coming, and there have been a number of leaks surrounding it too, including that it will run on Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. The latest leak – or leaks we should say – present what the OnePlus 13T could look like though, and well, it’s somewhat familiar.

What will the OnePlus 13T look like?

The device has appeared a couple of times on Chinese microblogging platform Weibo from a number of accounts, and all show the same design, adding weight to their authenticity. In one video, the OnePlus 13T is seemingly able to be balanced on one finger and spun around.

It features flat edges, round corners and a square-shaped camera module in the top left corner, not too dissimilar from what the current iPhones offer. There is also a physical button on the left edge, expected to be the Quick Key that is replacing the signature alert slider, while the square camera housing appears to feature a triple rear camera. 

In another post, leaker Digital Chat Station presented an image of what they claim to be the OnePlus 13T. The design is consistent with the leaked video, as well as another Weibo post showing a close up of the camera housing, but it’s a much clearer image. The post also claims there will be three colour options, translated as Cloud Ink Black, Morning Mist Gray and Heartbeat Pink.

For now, OnePlus has only confirmed the OnePlus 13T is coming “later this month” and it has teased the device’s super slim bezels by comparing it to the iPhone 16 Pro. If the leaked designs are accurate however, this device could be even more like iPhone than we first thought.

Android can now back up more of your phone, but Google is also letting you say no
Users can opt out of message, call history, and settings backups even as Google expands Drive backup to cover documents stored locally.

Google is reshaping Android backup in two directions at once. New switches let you stop several types of phone data from being uploaded, while a separate Documents feature can save local files to Google Drive.

The controls cover messages, call history, and device settings. Each category can now be turned off individually instead of being backed up automatically, joining the newer per-app switches already appearing through Google Play services.

The Fold 8 Ultra could finally get Samsung’s best cameras
Better low-light, Video LUT, dual recording, and S26 Ultra-grade resolution.

The biggest complaint about every Galaxy Z Fold, even the Fold 7 that launched last year, has been the same one: great phone, mediocre cameras. 

Samsung has always reserved its best camera hardware for the Galaxy S Ultra line, leaving Fold buyers with a somewhat compromised experience. According to a new leak, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra could change that.
