OnePlus recently introduced the OnePlus Ace 5 and Ace 5 Pro in China, which launched in January and feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Snapdragon 8 Elite chipsets, respectively. Following these releases, new leaks have surfaced about another addition to the Ace series. Tipster Smart Pikachu has disclosed that this new device is slated for a Q2 launch this year, aiming to compete with forthcoming Snapdragon 8s Elite-powered smartphones like the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro and iQOO Z10 Turbo Pro, which are also set to debut soon.

While the exact name of the upcoming OnePlus model remains uncertain—potentially being the Ace 5s or Ace 5V—leaks suggest it will be powered by a Dimensity 9-series chip, possibly the new Dimensity 9350. The phone is expected to feature a flat screen and excel in performance metrics, thanks to advanced cooling technology designed for efficient heat dissipation. This would position the phone as a top contender in performance benchmarks.

Additional anticipated specifications include a robust 7,000mAh battery, a 0809 vibration motor, a short-focus optical in-screen fingerprint sensor, and a plastic middle frame, enhancing both utility and design. This new entry in the OnePlus Ace series is set to make a significant impact in the high-performance smartphone market segment, offering both top-tier capabilities and value for money.
