OnePlus is set to introduce the Ace 5 and Ace 5 Pro, which will run on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Snapdragon 8 Elite chipsets, respectively, on December 26 in China. There's also talk that OnePlus might release additional devices, like the Ace 5 Mini and Ace 5V, in the coming year. Moreover, rumors suggest the brand could introduce new variants, including Ace 5s and Ace 5s Pro. A recent leak from tipster Digital Chat Station hints that OnePlus is developing an Ace 5 series phone powered by a Dimensity 9-series chipset.
Specifications Leaked for OnePlus Ace 5s
Earlier leaks from DCS have revealed that the OnePlus Ace 5 Mini is scheduled for a Q2 2025 launch. This compact flagship is expected to feature a 6.31-inch display, the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, and a 50-megapixel Sony IMX906 main camera. The latest leak suggests OnePlus will announce a flagship phone powered by the Dimensity 9-series around April 2025. This new device is likely to compete with upcoming releases, such as the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, Xiaomi Civi 5 Pro, and iQOO Z10 Turbo, which are rumored to use the Snapdragon 8s Elite (SM8735) chip.
Name Uncertainty for Dimensity 9-Series Device
Currently, there's no information on the exact name of the OnePlus Dimensity 9-series phone. It's still unclear if the device will use the existing Dimensity 9300-series chip, the Dimensity 9400, or the new Dimensity 9400+ chipset. Given that it will be equipped with a flagship chip, it's probable that the device will be branded as the OnePlus Ace 5s. On the other hand, the Ace 5V might be designated for a mid-range device, since its predecessor, the OnePlus Ace 3V, was powered by the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chipset.
Engineering Prototype Details
The latest leak indicates that the supposed OnePlus Ace 5s’ current engineering prototype includes a 1.5K OLED display with a flat design and a short-focus in-screen fingerprint scanner. The device is also likely to come with a 0809 vibration motor, a plastic middle frame, and an approximate 7,000mAh battery.
