OnePlus is gearing up to launch the Ace 6T in China on December 3, and it’s shaping up to be an important release. It will be the first phone to ship with Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset. This same model is expected to hit global markets later as the OnePlus 15R, though some regions may see small changes.
To build hype, OnePlus has posted fresh camera samples on Weibo. The focus is on the 50-megapixel main camera, which the company says delivers cleaner portraits with softer lighting and more natural skin tones. There’s also a film-style color mode meant to give photos a more classic, textured look straight out of the camera.
OnePlus is also pushing motion capture. The Ace 6T supports the “shadowless capture” feature used on its flagship phones, which is designed to freeze fast-moving subjects with fewer blurry frames. Live Photos get an upgrade too. The phone can record three-second clips, and users can pull out individual frames or turn them into a small collage. These features rely on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5’s fifth-generation ISP and OnePlus’ updated image processing.
Leaked specs paint a clear picture of the rest of the hardware. The Ace 6T is expected to have a 6.83-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate. An optical fingerprint sensor sits under the screen. The phone may also pack a massive 8,000mAh battery, which would be one of the biggest in any mainstream smartphone right now. Storage could go up to 1TB with as much as 16GB RAM.
The rear cameras include a 50-megapixel main sensor and an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera. On the front, there’s a 32-megapixel selfie camera. For durability, the phone carries IP66, IP68, IP69 and IP69K ratings, meaning it can handle dust, water and even high-pressure, high-temperature sprays.
Once the Ace 6T is unveiled in China, the global OnePlus 15R should follow not long after.
