OnePlus is getting ready to launch its next smartphone, the OnePlus 13T, and the company has started sharing some exciting details. The phone is expected to launch in April in China, and it promises powerful features packed in a compact design.
Flat Display and New Button Revealed
According to OnePlus China’s President Li Jie, the OnePlus 13T will come with a flat OLED display, which will appeal to users who prefer a sleek and simple screen. But the biggest surprise is a new physical shortcut key on the left side of the phone, replacing the old Alert Slider.
This shortcut button won’t just switch between silent, vibrate, and ring modes. It can also be customized to perform different tasks, like launching apps or turning on features quickly. Li Jie also hinted that this button will have a fun and interesting feature, with more details to be revealed soon.
Powerful Specs and Big Battery
The OnePlus 13T is rumored to be the same device as the Oppo PKX1100, which recently appeared on Chinese certification websites. The phone reportedly scored over 3 million points on AnTuTu, which shows strong performance.
Here are the leaked specifications:
- Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset
- 16GB LPDDR5x RAM
- 512GB UFS 4.0 storage
- 120Hz OLED screen
- Android 15
The device is also said to feature a large 6,000mAh to 6,200mAh battery, all packed into a body weighing just 185 grams. It may support 80W fast charging, but wireless charging might not be included.
Display, Camera, and Design
The OnePlus 13T will have a 6.31-inch OLED display with 1.5K resolution and an in-screen fingerprint sensor. On the back, it will have two 50-megapixel cameras – one main sensor and one telephoto lens with 2x zoom.
In terms of build, the phone is expected to feature a metal frame and glass back, giving it a premium look and feel.
More details are expected soon as OnePlus continues to reveal features leading up to the official launch.
Nothing has rolled out a new update for its Essential Space app (version 1.0.13), bringing some useful features and improvements for users.
One of the biggest highlights is the transcription feature, now available on the Nothing Phone (3). With this, users can get a complete transcription of their Flip to Record content, making it easier to keep track of recordings in written form.
The update also adds a Select All option within individual modules, giving users better control and convenience while managing their content.
Apart from new features, the update also focuses on improving the overall experience. It includes several bug fixes and stability enhancements to make the app run smoother and more reliable.
Nothing continues to improve Essential Space with regular updates, ensuring users get more value and a seamless experience on their devices.
Nothing has rolled out a new software update for the Nothing Phone (2a). The update is called Nothing OS 3.2 (September Update) and is now available to users. It comes with a download size of 158 MB and also includes the latest September 1, 2025 Android security patch.
One of the most notable changes in this update is the introduction of the Nothing Gallery app as the default photo viewer in the camera app. Users now get the option to choose between Nothing Gallery and Google Photos, but the company recommends using its own gallery for faster previews and smoother performance. This move highlights Nothing’s efforts to strengthen its in-house ecosystem.
The update also adds new features to widgets. Along with the Photo widget, users can now share the Pedometer widget (step counter) and the Screen Time widget with others. The update further enhances interaction by introducing a set of new nine stickers that can be used to react when sharing widgets, giving users more expressive options.
In terms of the camera, Nothing claims to have improved stability and performance. The camera app version has been upgraded, and users may notice slight differences in colors and sharpness, particularly in ultra-wide shots. These refinements are aimed at delivering a more reliable photography experience on the Phone (2a).
The update also addresses several system issues and optimizations. Stability for the pop-up view feature has been improved, and a bug that prevented PDF files from opening in cloned apps like WhatsApp and Telegram has been fixed. The Voice over NR (VoNR) icon has been redesigned for better clarity in the status bar. In addition, battery usage has been optimized when connecting smartwatches, especially with the CMF Watch 2 Pro.
Other improvements include fixes for font display issues in apps such as Instagram and Reddit when using the Inter font, along with general system performance and stability enhancements.

OnePlus 11 OxygenOS 15 August Update Rolls Out with Split View Enhancements, BeaconLink, and Privacy Improvements
OnePlus has rolled out a new OxygenOS 15 update for the OnePlus 11, bringing a range of improvements, useful features, and the latest August 2025 Android security patch. The update size is 890.86 MB and focuses on making the phone smoother, smarter, and more secure.
The update enhances the overall user experience with smoother animations for opening, repositioning, and resizing floating windows. Multitasking also gets better with improvements to Split View. It is no longer limited to fixed ratios, and users can now adjust the ratio freely. When using two apps in landscape, the divider can be dragged to resize them according to preference.
In terms of notifications, OnePlus has simplified how alerts appear in landscape mode. Instead of taking over the full screen, banner notifications now appear in a minimal format to reduce interruptions. Users can also swipe down on a notification to open the app in a floating window, or tap a button to do the same, rather than switching to full screen.
The Private Safe feature has been upgraded as well. Users can now share images and videos stored in Private Safe, customize album covers, and sort or view media files by time. There is also a new option to add files directly under the “Other files” category, giving more control over stored content. When recent tasks are stacked, users can now lock or unlock apps simply by swiping down on the app from the recent tasks screen.
A notable addition is BeaconLink, which allows users to send text, images, and voice messages to nearby people without an internet connection. This can be enabled in Settings > Mobile network > BeaconLink.
Lastly, the update integrates the August 2025 Android security patch, ensuring better protection for the device.
With this update, the OnePlus 11 becomes more seamless to use, offering improved multitasking, enhanced privacy options, and a more distraction-free experience.
