After launching the OnePlus 13, OnePlus likely has turned its focus to new models in the Ace series, which are expected to be the OnePlus Ace 5 and Ace 5 Pro. According to a recent leak from Weibo tipster Smart Pikachu, these devices will feature a refreshed design compared to their predecessors.
The tipster’s post reveals that the Ace 5 series has an updated rear design. A similar rumor circulated about the OnePlus 13, and indeed, the company introduced a slight design change for its latest flagship. The phone’s camera island is no longer connected to the frame, but the circular camera island remains consistent with previous models.
Since the OnePlus Ace series has followed the design trend of the main OnePlus lineup for at least of couple of years now, we can reasonably expect the Ace 5 series to adopt a design similar to the OnePlus 13.
Smart Pikachu adds that the new phone includes a large battery within a ceramic body. It also retains the classic alert slider, and the top-tier version will come with 24GB of RAM.
OnePlus Ace 5 series specification
The OnePlus Ace 5 will come with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, while the higher-end Ace 5 Pro may pack an even more powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chip.
Reports also suggest that the Ace 5 will feature a 1.5K resolution OLED flat display from BOE, marking a shift from the Ace 3’s curved screen design. It will support 100W wired fast charging, though it won’t include wireless charging. The Ace 5 Pro may adopt BOE’s X2 flat screen, also with a 1.5K resolution.
Notably, the Ace 5 Pro’s camera system is expected to see major upgrades, featuring a Sony IMX906 main camera and an ISOCELL JN1 telephoto sensor, potentially using image processing technology similar to that in the Find X8 series. Both the IMX906 and JN1 are 50-megapixel sensors.
Although the Ace 3 Pro launched at CNY 3,199, the starting price of the Ace 5 Pro may rise due to an earlier release schedule and the higher cost of the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip.
