The OnePlus Ace 5 might not be able to match the speedy charging of its rumored Pro version, which is expected to launch soon in China. Nevertheless, it appears to be quite competitive in power efficiency and thermal stability during gaming, as reported by the reliable leaker Digital Chat Station.
Performance Insights
According to the tipster who claims to have tested the device firsthand, the Ace 5 achieved impressive average frame rates of 119.5 fps in Honor of Kings. However, these numbers dropped to 60.2 fps and 55.2 fps in Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail, respectively. Despite this, the Ace 5's performance is still seen as much better than that of other devices sporting the same processor.
Power Efficiency
The power efficiency of the Ace 5 has been noted, with figures of 5.7W in Genshin Impact, 4.8W in Honkai Star Rail, and a lower 3.38W in Honor of Kings. This efficiency is considered "far ahead" of competing devices that share similar specifications.
The testing setup included a flat 1.5K X2 LTPO display, 16GB of RAM, 512GB of internal storage, and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. This version of the chipset is said to be quite different from the "ordinary" variant found in other Android phones like the OnePlus 12.
Chipset Modifications
Recent leaks suggest that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in the Ace 5 is fairly standard. However, it features "magically modified" enhancements that include "chip-level gaming technology," according to Digital Chat Station. These modifications help the Ace 5 get closer to the Snapdragon 8 Elite in terms of thermal management and power efficiency during testing.
This could be promising news for the OnePlus 13R, especially if it launches alongside the global version of the OnePlus 13, as current rumors suggest.
