OnePlus is known for releasing a flagship phone followed by Ace-branded sub-flagship phones in the Chinese market by the end of each year. Last year, it unveiled the OnePlus 13 in October, while the Ace 5 and Ace 5 Pro were announced in December. However, a new leak suggests that the company may adopt a different strategy this year for its upcoming flagship phones.
OnePlus 15, Ace 6 likely to launch together
Several reports have revealed that OnePlus is working on its next flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 15. Expected to debut in October in China, the device is likely to be powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset.
The Ace 6 lineup is expected to include two models: the Ace 6 and Ace 6 Pro. While these devices were previously anticipated to launch in November or December, a new leak from reliable tipster Digital Chat Station suggests a change in strategy. According to the leak, the OnePlus 15 and Ace 6 will launch together in October, indirectly hinting that the Ace 6 Pro may either arrive slightly later or may not exist at all. The tipster also indicated that these upcoming OnePlus phones may launch ahead of the Redmi K90 series, suggesting a direct competition between the two lineups.
As per DCS’s leak from last month, the OnePlus Ace 6 is expected to feature a 6.83-inch flat OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, the device will be powered by a Snapdragon 8 series chipset. Other expected features include an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint scanner, a metal middle frame, a large battery likely around 7,800mAh, and an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.
The OnePlus 13, 13T, and Ace 5 Pro are all powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. There is a possibility that instead of launching three successor phones with the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, the company may choose to skip the Ace 6 Pro altogether. However, this is purely speculative, and readers are advised to wait for further reports for confirmation.
The OnePlus 15 rumors suggest that it will feature a 6.78-inch flat OLED LTPO 2K screen with extremely slim bezels on all four sides. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip, the device may pack a 7,000mAh+ battery with 100W wired and wireless charging support. It may come with other features like Plus key (side button), a metal middle frame, an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, 0916 x-axis vibration motor, and an IP68/69-rated body.
In Q1 2026, OnePlus is expected to launch the OnePlus 15T, a compact flagship phone. Readers can visit this page to learn about the upgrades that it may include.
