OnePlus has launched two new mid-range smartphones in China, providing more affordable options compared to the OnePlus 15 (currently priced at $899.99 on Amazon). The specifics regarding when the Turbo 6 and Turbo 6V will be available internationally are still unclear. However, a well-known Weibo account, Digital Chat Station, has already started to speculate on what OnePlus might introduce next.

New Device Speculation

The leaker has not explicitly named the device in question. However, many believe that Digital Chat Station is suggesting the anticipated Ace 6 Ultra instead of an expansion of the new Turbo series. Regardless of the naming, Digital Chat Station claims that OnePlus is working on a smartphone powered by the ‘performance variant’ of MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500 chipset.

Chip and Display Details

It’s likely that MediaTek will refer to this chip as the Dimensity 9500 Plus, similar to how the Ace 5 Ultra used the Dimensity 9400 Plus last year. Digital Chat Station also mentions that this unnamed smartphone is expected to feature a 6.78-inch OLED display with a resolution of 1.5K and a refresh rate of 165 Hz, but it will not support true variable refresh rate technology.

Battery and Release Expectations

Current prototypes are believed to have around 8,000 mAh batteries, while the retail versions might surpass 9,000 mAh to align with OnePlus’ internal goals. Although the exact release date is still uncertain, it wouldn’t be surprising if OnePlus chose to launch the Ace 6 Ultra in late May, marking the first anniversary of the Ace 5 Ultra.
