OnePlus is set to unveil the Ace 5 series shortly in China. The company has confirmed that this series will include two smartphones. The Pro version is anticipated to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite, while the standard model will likely have the previous Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
Global Rebranding of Non-Pro Model
Even though OnePlus does not sell its Ace series beyond China, the non-Pro version typically gets a new name for international markets. For instance, the previous OnePlus 12R (16/256 GB currently priced at $499.99 on Amazon) was actually a renamed Ace 3, and the Ace 5's non-Pro model is expected to be introduced globally as the OnePlus 13R.
Leaked Details of the Non-Pro Device
Before the official announcement of the Ace 5 series, well-known leaker Digital Chat Station has shared the first glimpse of the non-Pro smartphone. The leaked image indicates that the upcoming OnePlus 13R will have a design resembling the OnePlus 13, featuring a back design with an off-center circular camera arrangement.
The leak also reveals that, like its more advanced counterpart, the Ace 5 will sport a triple-camera configuration on the rear. In contrast to the previous model, the front is expected to have a flat display, aligning with the trend seen in many recent flagship devices. Rumors suggest it will be equipped with a 1.5K screen and an optical fingerprint sensor.
Market Position of the Ace 5 Pro
Digital Chat Station previously mentioned that the OnePlus Ace 5 Pro aims to be the most affordable Snapdragon 8 Elite flagship. Nevertheless, it might not be released globally, as OnePlus has not launched the Pro variant outside of China since the Ace Pro.
