The OnePlus 13 is believed to be joined by a Mini version in 2025. It is projected to pack similarly high-end Android smartphone specs into its more compact form-factor. Now, there are signs that it might also have a battery of the same cutting-edge capacity as its 'normal' counterpart.

The SU7 Ultra is a high-performance electric vehicle (EV) that has just set the new lap record at the Shanghai International Circuit in China - and its maker Xiaomi can prove it, thanks to its upcoming top-end 15 Ultra. The Android smartphone's apparently superior zoom and low-light specs has also come in handy while hyping both products.

The iQoo Neo 10R is already slated to become the fastest Android smartphone within a to-be-determined price-bracket when it is unleashed on the Indian market.

There is a catch, though, which involves the fact that the update has yet to hit any device actually in circulation to date.
