OnePlus is reportedly working on two new smartphones in the Ace 5 series— the Ace 5 and Ace 5 Pro. Thanks to a leak from reliable tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS), we now have a possible launch time frame for them.
The tipster shared on Weibo that the OnePlus Ace 5 series is expected to launch in the fourth quarter of 2024. The Ace 5 is said to be powered by the current flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, while the Pro model is expected to feature the yet-to-be-announced Snapdragon 8 Gen 4.
Qualcomm’s annual Snapdragon Summit begins on October 24th, when the 8 Gen 4 will be revealed. Given the Ace 5 Pro’s reliance on this chip, an October launch for the series seems improbable. Instead, a launch in November or December appears more probable.
Talking of the specifications, the standard Ace 5 model is rumored to have a 6.78-inch curved-edge OLED display with a micro-curvature design. The 8T LTPO panel is expected to offer a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The device is also said to include an alert slider.
For photography, the Ace 5 is expected to feature a 50-megapixel triple camera setup and run on OxygenOS 15, based on Android 15.
A previous report suggested that the phone will have a 6,000mAh dual-cell battery with support for 100W fast charging. Like its predecessor, it will likely lack wireless charging. The device is also rumored to have a ceramic build.
While specific details about the Ace 5 Pro are still unknown, it’s likely to share some features with the standard model, such as the battery, charging, and display.
However, all of this information is based on leaks, so nothing is confirmed yet. If the rumored launch timeframe is accurate, we should start learning more details about these devices soon.
