OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra was officially introduced at a press conference in China today. The device is a performance-focused phone built around MediaTek’s latest flagship silicon and a set of gaming-oriented features, including support for a dedicated external controller.
Powering the phone is the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chip, manufactured on TSMC’s third-generation 3nm process. OnePlus says the chip uses an all-big-core CPU architecture, with a claimed 32% performance improvement and a 55% reduction in power consumption compared to the previous generation.
The company says the device can sustain high frame rates in demanding titles, including maintaining near-maximum output in scenarios with heavy on-screen effects.
OnePlus has also integrated its “Wind Chaser Gaming Kernel” at a deeper level, alongside a Glacier Cooling System and a 6000mm² vapor chamber. The company is framing this combination as a way to stabilize performance during extended gaming sessions.
More impressively, the OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra also supports an optional “Strix Gaming Controller,” which has a joystick-free layout with mechanical trigger buttons rated at a 1.8ms response time. It also includes an independent e-sports chip and supports attachable magnetic cooling modules.
Display and others
On the front, the phone features a 6.78-inch LTPS OLED display supplied by BOE, with a 1.5K resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate. The panel supports up to 4000Hz instantaneous touch sampling and high peak brightness levels.
Around the back, the camera system is relatively simple. It has a 50-megapixel main sensor with optical image stabilization and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, paired with a 16-megapixel front camera.
The hardware is backed by an 8600mAh dual-cell battery, with support for 120W wired charging and multiple fast-charging standards. The device runs Android 16 with ColorOS 16 and includes LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage.
In terms of design, the phone uses a metal frame with large, rounded corners and a flat, cube-like camera module. It comes in “Ace Awakening” and “Metal Storm” finishes. The device also carries multiple ingress protection ratings, including IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K.
