OnePlus is a Chinese manufacturer that is going to follow the trend of having high-performance smartphones at pocket-friendly prices with the expected release of the OnePlus Ace 5 series. Although not officially announced, the leaks give a full view of what the OnePlus Ace 5 and Ace 5 Pro will have in their kitty. That would position the OnePlus Ace 5 Pro as among the cheapest handsets to come with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chips.
An Overview of Leaked Specifications
The latest report from industry insider Digital Chat Station on Weibo reveals that the upcoming OnePlus Ace 5 series is to bring about considerable upgrades in key areas, including camera quality, processing power, and battery life. Let's take a closer look at what to expect.
Display and Design
The OnePlus Ace 5 will reportedly sport a 6.78-inch flat 8T OLED BOE X2 display with 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. This type of display is perfect for giving great, rich color immersion to visuals, making it suitable for gaming, media consumption, and general use. Its size will be nearly as big as the OnePlus Ace 3 at 6.78 inches, further perpetuating the OnePlus tradition of massive, high-quality screens in the Ace series.
According to the rumors, the OnePlus Ace 5 Pro is one of those devices expected to have the flat front display with a strong metal frame. The information that leaked indicates that the Pro version arrives in glass or ceramic body that can provide that premium feel OnePlus fans have loved so much in OnePlus products. The back will likely feature a chamfered edge where the metal frame meets so it would look nice and cohesive at the rear as well. The squared, strong ID design may be included in this model as well, though it is not even clear if that is actually referring to the fingerprint ID scanner or something else altogether.
Processor and Performance
The OnePlus Ace 5 and the OnePlus Ace 5 Pro should be expected to provide a performance improvement. The standard OnePlus Ace 5 is said to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, an upgrade from its predecessor, the OnePlus Ace 3, which had the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. The Ace 5 Pro will feature the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, a powerhouse that can handle demanding tasks and games.
The Snapdragon 8 Elite processor specifically boasts an efficiency that is combined with speed and optimized capabilities in AI, graphics rendering, and power management. Thus, the most budget-friendly device in this market that will feature a processor of this kind would be the OnePlus Ace 5 Pro. Its nearest competitor, the Realme GT 7 Pro, costs CNY 3,699 or about INR 43,900. Hence, you might expect the Ace 5 Pro to cost less but compete at that level, at least.
Camera Setup
It also features a camera array likely to be found at the back of the device as comprising of a 50-megapixel primary sensor and coupled with that, it sports an 8-megapixel secondary sensor followed by the 2-megapixel sensor. OnePlus will once again be relying upon its main camera for higher photograph clarity, significantly enhanced performance in low light conditions along with stabilization of the shots. The camera settings closely resemble that of the parent model OnePlus Ace 3 and appears that OnePlus shall carry the same setup they have used for a good number of times, along with the OnePlus Ace 5.
This one's a possibility: front camera OnePlus Ace 5 with a 16MP sensor-the presence of selfies and video calling features supports this assumption; this camera is a same one found on OnePlus Ace 3 with 16 MP front camera, yet does it introduce some improvements at the software level with Portrait mode, low-light photos, or even stabilizes the video?.
Battery and Charging
Going by the battery capacity, rumors expect that the OnePlus Ace 5 will be pretty well endowed since it is expected to carry a battery size of above 6,000mAh in at least one model. For an increase from 5,500mAh in the OnePlus Ace 3, it definitely means that one would make use of long hours, gaming, and streaming along with usage before charging can be done regularly. Of course, fast charging technology will also be copied over; the OnePlus Ace 5 series should support 100W charging speed.
With this fast-charging ability, one can probably charge the phone from 0% to almost 100% within under 30 minutes. Quite an advantage for users who need a speedy battery top-up during their busy day.
OnePlus Ace 5 vs. OnePlus Ace 5 Pro
As with previous OnePlus releases, the "Pro" variant is expected to offer notable enhancements compared to the standard model. Here’s a breakdown of the expected differences between the two:
Processor: The Ace 5 will reportedly come with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, whereas the Ace 5 Pro will feature the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite, making the Pro model a stronger choice for heavy-duty tasks and gaming.
Storage Options: Both the models, however, are expected to come with 16 GB of RAM. The storage capacity within the Ace 5, however, might be limited at 512 GB, not like Ace 3 which has 1 TB storage availability. Ace 5 Pro may carry the same, higher storage capacity for holding media and applications for some users.
Build Material: The Pro model is rumored to incorporate premium materials, such as ceramic or glass, providing a more luxurious look and feel compared to the standard model.
Price: It could be the cheapest Snapdragon 8 Elite device. It might even be cheaper than the Realme GT 7 Pro, which will make it a more accessible option for users who want flagship features at a budget-friendly price.
Expected Pricing and Launch Date
OnePlus has not even announced an official release date for its Ace 5 series, but experts claim that the lineup might enter the market sometime in the early months of the upcoming year. According to industry trends, the OnePlus Ace 5 most probably may rebrand for international markets as the OnePlus 13R.
On the pricing side, OnePlus Ace 5 Pro would undercut the market significantly. With Realme GT 7 Pro now priced at CNY 3,699 or Rs 43,900 approx, Ace 5 Pro could well be priced either at similar or even below that level in the China market to make it quite an attractive proposition for price-sensitive buyers who would now get flagship experience.
OnePlus Ace 5 series will prove to be one of the most phenomenal lineup additions by OnePlus. They are giving the well-rounded mix of performance, battery life, and design in this series. The standard OnePlus Ace 5 model will offer the powerhouse Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 experience, but Ace 5 Pro has already been touted as an exclusive Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, which is also a flagship device at this affordable price point.
If the leaks prove to be true, then OnePlus Ace 5 Pro would soon redefine the high-performance market in smartphones by bringing equal price value to features, giving users a flagship experience at half the cost. Both models seem to bring OnePlus into contention to appeal both to the hard core and occasional user.
Soon, OnePlus will be announcing some official statements regarding the Ace 5 series. Keep following for more information on that. Whether you are interested in a high-performance processor, premium design, or long battery life, this might be the next thing for the smartphone market from OnePlus Ace 5 Pro.
