Oppo and OnePlus both working on “small” Mini smartphone
Oppo Find X8 Mini should serve small market
The market for small compact smartphones is small yet Oppo and OnePlus see plenty of opportunity. Both are said to be working on such a compact model. Although compact is a relative term here.
For example, Oppo is said to be working on the Find X8 Mini; a compact addition to the Find X8 series. Despite the mini name, the device will have a 6.31-inch display. For comparison; that's just bigger than the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 from 2017; a big phone we called a phablet back then.
Still, the Oppo Find X8 Mini should feel more manageable thanks to very thin screen bezels. Other specifications include a two Sony cameras including with optical zoom, a MediaTek Dimensity 9400 processor and a 1.5K sharp display with optical fingerprint scanner.

OnePlus faithfully follows
OnePlus is also reportedly looking to release a similar phone. This is not surprising considering that Oppo and OnePlus are owned by the same company; BBK Electronics. OnePlus was even founded by former Oppo bosses Pete Lau and Carl Pei.
.OnePlus' still unnamed compact phone is said to get the same 6.31-inch 1.5K-resolution screen. Difference, however, is the power source; OnePlus is said to be eyeing the Snapdragon 8 Elite. This fact suggests that we it's going to be a pricey model.
