OnePlus will launch the Ace 5 and Ace 5 Pro in China this December. The Ace 5, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, will later release internationally as the OnePlus 13R. The Ace 5 Pro will boast the Snapdragon 8 Elite.
Performance and Design
In a one-hour gaming test, the Ace 5 maintained over 120 FPS in King of Glory, consuming 3.57W of power and staying at 40.3°C. A Snapdragon 8 Elite device achieved similar performance with slightly lower power consumption. The Ace 5 features a flat metal frame, an optional ceramic glass back, a triple-camera setup, and the signature OnePlus alert slider.
Release and Expectations
The international release of the OnePlus 13R is anticipated alongside the OnePlus 13 in Q1 2025. The Ace 5 is rumored to have a large battery, similar to the 6,000 mAh battery in the OnePlus 13. It will run ColorOS 15 in China and OxygenOS 15 internationally. More details are expected in the coming weeks.
