OnePlus will launch the Ace 5 Extreme Edition (aka the Ace 5 Ultra) in China on May 27 at 14:30 CST. The phone is built specifically for gaming, with a focus on performance, stability, and long play sessions.
It runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ processor, built on a 3nm process, with a peak CPU speed of 3.73GHz. OnePlus says the chip brings a 35% jump in CPU performance and a 41% improvement in GPU performance. Power efficiency during gaming is up by 15%, and overall gaming performance is improved by 8%. These gains come from OnePlus’s “Fengchi Gaming Core,” a system-level optimization written directly into the chip.
The Ace 5 Extreme uses a triple-chip setup. Alongside the Dimensity 9400+ is the Lingxi Touch Control Chip and a dedicated Wi-Fi gaming chip (G1). The Lingxi chip supports a 3000Hz touch response rate, 300Hz five-finger sampling rate, and 290Hz ten-finger sampling rate. This is meant to reduce input lag and help with precision during fast-paced gameplay.
The phone is certified for esports use by the Peace Elite League (PEL), one of China’s major mobile gaming tournaments. It supports native 120Hz refresh rates, without interpolation, for open-world and MOBA games. It can run games at 120FPS even during video calls, without drops.
OnePlus shared benchmark data showing the Ace 5 Extreme hits 118.3 FPS in the 1% Low FPS test, a key metric in gaming that reflects how stable the frame rate stays during intense moments like smoke effects or group fights. In comparison, another flagship scored only 60.8 FPS.
The phone is built to maintain stable performance for over 5 hours of continuous gaming. OnePlus is positioning it as a serious option for mobile gamers who want smooth, consistent performance and low power drain. The official launch happens on May 27.
