OnePlus speculation heats up over ‘Pagani’ device

This morning, known tipster Max Jambor shared a cryptic message about OnePlus on X, and that has since sent speculation into a frenzy. OnePlus has already made it clear it has no plans to release the OnePlus Open 2 in 2025, despite all the leaks surrounding the device. That leaves a few likely options: it’s either the foldable for next year, or it could be another device like the rumored OnePlus 13 Mini.

The OnePlus 13 Mini (also suspected to be the OnePlus 13T) is expected to launch sometime in May, offering flagship performance in a compact size. “Pagani” could refer to that, as it’s also the name of an Italian sports car brand known for sleek designs and high performance. If this is the case, it’s no surprise Max Jambor would have information before the rest of the world. He has an inside link to phone companies.

Another tipster throws a wrench into that theory, though. Abhishek Yadav reshared Jambor’s initial post and called the Pagani a foldable device. From the way he phrased it, it isn’t clear whether Yadav meant to speculate or if he was sharing more information.

“Pagani” doesn’t hold much meaning. Loosely translated, it means “urban dwellers,” but is most often used to refer to those with pagan beliefs. It’s also a surname, and as we said before, a car brand. In Italian, words ending with “-ini” are used as a diminutive, but Pagani doesn’t follow that pattern. It’s a stretch, but it could suggest the 13 Mini.

In case it isn’t clear, all of this is speculation. We’re good at digging out nuggets of information, but even we can’t work with just two words. For now, your guess is as good as ours as to what this means. Jambor could be hinting at the OnePlus 13 Mini — a likely outcome, given its expected release date — or he could be referencing the next foldable from the company.

Either way, for now, all we can do is wait for more information to come forward.

OnePlus makes the best Android phone and watch combo you can get right now
The OnePlus 13 and OnePlus Watch 3.

Something unexpected has happened. There’s a fantastic smartphone and smartwatch combination available to buy right now that I think you’d be mad to pass by, and it’s not an Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max and Apple Watch Series 10. It’s not a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and a Galaxy Watch 7 either. It’s the OnePlus 13 and the OnePlus Watch 3, and I think it’s the best Android phone and watch pairing I’ve come across in ages.

I should explain why this was unexpected, at least to me. The OnePlus Watch 3 is the first OnePlus smartwatch I’ve used, and what I’d heard about previous models from colleagues didn’t really make me feel as if I was missing out. From poor quality health tracking results to a crown that rotated by didn’t actually do anything, I was always confident in recommending Samsung’s trusty Galaxy Watch or a Mobvoi TicWatch as the smartwatch to get if you owned an Android phone.

Why the OnePlus Watch 3 is missing a key Apple Watch feature in the US and Canada

The OnePlus Watch 3 has officially launched and has several new features, including an ECG (electrocardiogram) analyzer, which was unavailable in the second-generation model.

However, as OnePlus told 9to5Google, this feature will not be accessible to users in the U.S. and Canada because the watch has not received official certification for its ECG capabilities from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Despite this limitation, all users, regardless of location, will have access to the new “60-Second Health Check-In” feature expected to be released in the year’s second quarter.

We like big batteries and cannot lie, the OnePlus 13 Mini can’t deny

The OnePlus 13 Mini is set to be a compact, pocket-friendly device, but it doesn't sacrifice battery capacity in the process. According to Digital Chat Station, the OnePlus Mini 13 might feature a 6,000mAh battery. That's absolutely monstrous capacity, especially when compared to the Samsung Galaxy S25's mere 4,000mAh battery.

The tipster goes on to suggest that this battery size is just a preview, and that OnePlus and Oppo could debut handsets with 7,000mAh batteries by the end of the year. The battery is likely silicon-carbide, allowing for a significantly higher energy density in the same amount of space.
