Speculation surrounding the 'Pagani' device from OnePlus intensifies.

      This morning, well-known tipster Max Jambor shared a vague message about OnePlus on X, triggering a wave of speculation. OnePlus has already stated it will not be launching the OnePlus Open 2 in 2025, despite the device's ongoing leaks. This leaves a few possibilities: it could be the foldable for next year or possibly another device, like the rumored OnePlus 13 Mini.

      The OnePlus 13 Mini (which may also be referred to as the OnePlus 13T) is anticipated to debut around May, promising flagship performance in a compact form. “Pagani” might signify that, as it is also the name of an Italian sports car brand recognized for its elegant designs and high performance. If true, it makes sense that Max Jambor would have insider information before anyone else, as he has connections within the phone industry.

      However, another tipster complicates this theory. Abhishek Yadav shared Jambor’s original post and labeled the Pagani as a foldable device. His phrasing leaves it uncertain whether Yadav was speculating or sharing additional information.

      "Pagani" doesn't carry significant meaning. Translated loosely, it means “urban dwellers,” though it's commonly associated with those holding pagan beliefs. It's also a surname, and as mentioned earlier, a car brand. In Italian, words ending in “-ini” often serve as diminutives, but Pagani does not conform to that pattern. While it's a stretch, it could hint at the 13 Mini.

      To clarify, all of this remains speculative. Though we excel at uncovering bits of information, even we can't draw conclusions based on just two words. As it stands, your guess is as good as ours regarding its meaning. Jambor might be alluding to the OnePlus 13 Mini, a plausible scenario given its anticipated release, or he might be pointing to the company’s next foldable device.

      For now, we must wait for more information to emerge.

      Leaked OnePlus Timeline Indicates at Least Four New Devices This Year

      OnePlus has a variety of projects underway, and a recently leaked roadmap suggests the company may release a new device in April, May, October, and November. This leak, originating from Oneline Technology on Weibo, appears to confirm several anticipated launches, including the OnePlus 13 Mini, also identified as the OnePlus 13T.

      The post lists four devices: the OnePlus 13T, Ace 5S, OnePlus 14, and the OnePlus Ace 6 and Ace 6 Pro. The tipster indicated that these names are “temporarily” designated and could change, so the official names are not yet confirmed. If the company adopts the 13T naming convention, it will mark the first instance since the OnePlus 10T was released in 2022.

      Despite higher-priced smartphones such as the Oppo Find X8 Pro, Apple iPhone 16 Pro, and Galaxy S25 Ultra, the $1,000 price point continues to pose the ultimate competitive challenge within the smartphone industry.

      While some manufacturers offer devices priced above this range, these are classified as ultra-premium flagship smartphones. The flagship smartphone market is primarily defined by the best offerings that a company can present at, or below, the significant $1,000 price mark.
