An allegedly in-development smartphone has been pictured with what looks like an intriguing take on the premium OnePlus Open's camera hump. However, it might belong to an upcoming flagship from a different OEM based on the number of lenses present. The device is thought to have an extra-large, cutting-edge battery and an on-trend display.

The well-regarded leaker Digital Chat Station claims to have had some hands-on time with a next-gen Android flagship, and to have the photo to prove it.

It is depicted as finished in black glass with the increasingly omnipresent central round camera hump. Given the extra, heretofore-unseen plus symbols incised into it on either side, it could be the OnePlus 13. Then again, they might be attachments for the suspiciously OPPO Find X-esque face-plate seen in the background.

Then again, it seems to have 4 rear lenses whereas the 13 is said to have 3. Accordingly, the device could also indeed be poised to join the Find X series, or the often very similar-looking Vivo X line.

In either case, they are projected to be powered by either the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 or Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processors, to have the increasingly popular quad-curved type of display and to have significantly larger batteries compared to their predecessors.

On that note, Digital Chat Station now indicates that these batteries (based on bleeding-edge silicon-anode technology) might be able to support wireless charging as well as 100W USB-C power after all.

Accordingly, the Find X8 variants, OnePlus 13s and Vivo X200-series members (or their successors) just might be able to use this AirVOOC 50W charger from Amazon in the near future.
