OnePlus has just unveiled the Ace 6T in China, marking it as the first smartphone equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5. This device is scheduled to make its international appearance on December 17, 2025, though it will come with a modified specification sheet. As was hinted before, the OnePlus 15R, which is the version for international markets, will not feature the same battery as its Chinese counterpart.
Battery Specifications
To give you an idea, the Ace 6T is packed with the biggest battery ever seen in a OnePlus phone, boasting an impressive capacity of 8,300 mAh. This dwarfs the battery found in the company’s current flagship, the OnePlus 15. In contrast, the OnePlus 15R is confirmed to have a 7,400 mAh battery.
Comparisons to the OnePlus 15
While the 7,400 mAh battery is indeed larger than the one in the OnePlus 15, it still makes the 15R the phone with the largest battery available in the international market for OnePlus. However, the standout feature of the Ace 6T is its 8,000+ mAh capacity, and it would have been nice to see this same battery in the OnePlus 15R. Battery capacity reductions for Chinese phones when they launch globally is not a new trend, as many brands have done so in the past.
Charging Capabilities and Features
The charging speed has also taken a bit of a hit, reducing from 100 W to 80 W (currently, the 140 W Anker Zolo GaN charger is priced at $69.99 on Amazon). Regarding the other specifications confirmed for the OnePlus 15R, the company has recently announced that the global version will keep the 165 Hz refresh rate, Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip, and multiple IP ratings. More information about this affordable flagship for the global market is anticipated to come out soon.
