Compare Mobile Phones Side-by-Side

The Huawei Mate Xs is the more unusual device here, and its appeal is very specific: that large 8-inch display gives you far more room for reading, multitasking, maps, documents, and media than a normal phone. If the folding format is the reason you’re shopping, the OnePlus simply can’t replace that experience.

For most buyers, though, the OnePlus 13 Mini looks like the more practical phone to live with every day. Its 6.31-inch screen is much easier to handle, the 120Hz refresh rate should feel noticeably smoother than the Mate Xs’ 60Hz panel, and the 5500mAh battery gives it a clear endurance advantage on paper. With the same 8GB of RAM, the Huawei’s main advantage is screen size, not general usability. Pick the Mate Xs for the foldable canvas; pick the OnePlus 13 Mini if you want the smarter everyday phone.
