OnePlus is reportedly preparing to launch the OnePlus Ace 5 and Ace 5 Pro in China by the end of this year or early next year. A new leak coming out of the company’s home country suggests that both phones and their succeeding OnePlus Ace 6 series smartphones will feature larger batteries than previous Ace series handsets. The rumoured OnePlus Ace 5 is likely to boast a 6,300mAh battery while the OnePlus Ace 5 Pro could carry a 6,500mAh battery.

Alleged Specifications of the OnePlus Ace 5, OnePlus Ace 6 Series Have Appeared Online

Tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo has suggested the battery details of the unannounced OnePlus Ace 5 series and OnePlus Ace 6 series. As per the tipster, OnePlus’s mid-range smartphone will come with a 6,850mAh battery or a 7,000mAh single-cell battery. A mid-range handset with a lightweight design is said to pack a 5,640mAh or 5,750mAh battery. Three more devices with 100W wired fast charge support are said to feature 6,500mAh, 6,300mAh, and 6,150mAh batteries.

The tipster has not explicitly mentioned the names of upcoming OnePlus phones and their battery units. But citing the leak, a TheTechOutlook report speculates that the OnePlus Ace 5 and Ace 5 Pro will pack 6,300mAh and 6,500mAh cells, respectively. The OnePlus Ace 5V is rumoured to house a 6,150mAh battery.

Either the OnePlus Ace 6 or OnePlus Ace 6 Pro will get a 7,000mAh battery. OnePlus is likely to pack a 5,750mAh battery on the OnePlus Ace 6V.

OnePlus is not expected to launch the Ace 6 series until December 2025, therefore, it is recommended to take these details with a grain of salt.

The OnePlus Ace 5 series could go official by the end of this year or early next year. It is said to sport a BOE’s 6.78-inch X2 8T LTPO 2D display with 1.5K resolution and could run on Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset alongside up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and up to 512GB UFS 4.0 storage.

OnePlus unveiled its OxygenOS 15 update on Thursday. The new operating system (OS) update for eligible OnePlus smartphones will introduce a redesigned user interface, artificial intelligence (AI) features, and faster processing. Based on Android 15, which was recently released by Google, the update also brings new security features such as Google Play Protect’s live threat detection and theft protection features. Additionally, OxygenOS 15 will set Gemini AI assistant as the default virtual assistant on compatible devices.

OxygenOS 15 Performance Improvements

The company claims that OxygenOS 15 was designed with a focus on fast performance, enhanced design, and AI capabilities. To improve processing times, OnePlus says it refined animation interactions via proprietary parallel processing technology. 

According to OnePlus, the new update adds comprehensive ‘interruption animations’ that are said to enable faster transitions between apps. The company claims it eliminates lag times even during heavy usage and maintains a stable experience.

Another way the company is speeding up the OS is by removing redundant features and increasing the storage space. OnePlus claims that the OxygenOS 15 will take up 20 percent less storage space on the OnePlus 12 compared to OxygenOS 14.

OxygenOS 15 to Introduce New AI Features

OnePlus has also introduced several new AI features with the OS update. For the camera, the company has added AI Detail Boost, a feature which transforms low-resolution or cropped images into 4K resolution photos. This feature is integrated into the gallery app and automatically identifies pixelated images.

Similarly, the company’s AI Unblur feature improves blurry images natively and makes the photos sharper. Additionally, AI Reflection Eraser will help users remove reflections from images which are shot through glass.

While these features are powered by the company’s in-house AI models, OnePlus is also adding several Gemini-powered features. The first of these is Circle to Search, which will now be available to compatible smartphones with the OxygenOS 15 update.

The visual lookup feature can be activated by long pressing the navigation bar or Home Button. Another is Intelligent Search which will let users run on-device searches by typing a query in natural language. Users can ask about a file, setting, or a note and the AI will return relevant results.

Apart from that, Gemini will also power a new Pass Scan feature which is integrated within the camera app. It can be used to quickly scan boarding passes. AI Notes is also making a debut with OxygenOS 15. Similar to the AI Notes in Samsung Galaxy devices, the tool can format, expand (or shorten) content written in the Notes app. AI Notes can also auto-transcribe voice notes into text.

Further, AI Reply has been added into the AI Toolbox and can be accessed from the smart sidebar. It can understand the conversations in messaging apps and can automatically generate contextually relevant replies that users can copy and paste into the app.

Google’s Gemini AI assistant will be made the default virtual assistant with the new OS update. Users can also access the recently released Gemini Live feature which offers a two-way real-time voice conversation with the Gemini chatbot.

OnePlus Unveils New OxygenOS 15 UI 

Coming to design enhancements, OxygenOS 15 introduces new boot animation, icons, more shelf card choices, and new fingerprint unlock style options. It also adds Shimmering Effects and Gaussian Blur across various system scenarios to offer a new visual experience. Some minor upgrades have been added to settings, notification bar, and control centre.

New design upgrades can also be seen while interacting with the OS. A new OnePlus OneTake feature now improves the phone unlocking animation. File sharing between OnePlus and iPhone devices has also been improved with a new “Share with iPhone” feature.

Safety Features on OxygenOS 15

OxygenOS 15 will benefit from Android 15’s Google Play Protect live threat detection feature that analyses app behaviour to detect potential malware and fraudulent apps. Similarly, new theft protection mechanisms have also been added to protect the user data in case their device is stolen.

The feature can detect movements associated with theft, such as someone snatching a smartphone and running away, and automatically locks the device to protect the data from the thief. Additionally, a remote lock feature has also been added with which a user can lock the device remotely with just their phone number. An offline lock has also been added that activates automatically if the handset remains disconnected from Internet for a prolonged period.

Finally, OxygenOS 15 also implements Android 15’s biometric verification system for sensitive actions such as disabling theft-protection features or FindMyDevice, which the company says adds another layer of protection for users.

OxygenOS 15 Update: Eligible Devices (Expected)

OxygenOS 15 will first be rolled out to OnePlus 12 5G starting October 30. The company is yet to publish an official list of eligible devices, but the following handsets are currently expected to get the update, based on their support window.

Owners of the OnePlus Open, OnePlus 12R, OnePlus 11, OnePlus 11R, OnePlus 10 Pro, OnePlus 10R, and OnePlus 10T can expect to receive an update to OxygenOS 15. Other devices like the OnePlus Nord 4, Nord 3, Nord CE 4, Nord CE4 Lite, Nord CE3 Lite, Nord CE3, OnePlus Pad and OnePlus Pad 2 are also likely to be updated to OxygenOS 15.

OnePlus is all geared up to launch the OnePlus 13 in the coming week. With a little over a week to go, the company has now revealed the camera features and camera samples of the flagship smartphone. The OnePlus 13 will carry a Hasselblad-branded triple rear camera unit, like its predecessor. The brand also shared a quick unboxing video of the phone revealing its design. Additionally, the pricing of the handset has leaked online.

OnePlus 13 to Get Periscope Telephoto Camera

OnePlus revealed details of the OnePlus 13 camera unit via Weibo posts. Like the OnePlus 12, the next offering will have triple rear cameras jointly developed by OnePlus and Hasselblad. The camera setup will include a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-808 main camera with a 1/1.95-inch size, f/2.6 aperture and OIS support. The phone will also get a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto sensor and a 50-megapixel ultra wide-angle camera with a 120-degree field of view.

The OnePlus 13 is confirmed to use the same image algorithm as the Oppo Find X8 series. The brand has posted some camera samples to show off the capabilities of the upcoming device.

On top of that, OnePlus 13’s short official unboxing video was posted on Weibo. The video assures that it will ship with ColorOS 15 out of the box. The handset is shown in a red rectangular box. It is seen with a flat-screen and narrow bezels all around.

Meanwhile, an X user Tech Home (@TechHome100) spotted the listing of the OnePlus 13 online with a price tag of CNY 4,699 (roughly Rs. 55,000).

The OnePlus 13 will run on the newly announced Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, paired with up to 24GB of RAM and up to 1TB of storage. It will also support magnetic wireless charging.

The company is yet to announce plans to launch a successor to the OnePlus 12, which is tipped to arrive with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 (or Snapdragon 8 Elite) chipset that is expected to be unveiled at Qualcomm’s annual Snapdragon Summit on October 21.

OnePlus 13 Models Listed on Certification Websites

A OnePlus handset with two model numbers — CPH2645 and CPH2653 — was spotted on Singapore’s Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) website by 91Mobiles. The entries for both models suggest that the upcoming smartphone, believed to be the OnePlus 13, will offer 5G, 4G LTE, W-Fi, Bluetooth, and Near Field Communication (NFC) connectivity.

Meanwhile, one of the model numbers mentioned above has also been listed on the TUV Rheinland website, and the listing for a new CPH2645 model appears to confirm that the smartphone will be manufactured by OnePlus. However, this entry does not provide any meaningful information related to the smartphone’s specifications.

The publication also identified a listing for the same model number (CPH2645) on the Camera FV-5 database, which gives is a look at some of the specifications of the purported OnePlus 13. It is worth noting that some of the specifications could be higher due to pixel binning technology.

It will reportedly be equipped with a 50-megapixel camera (the Camera FV-5 entry states it will have a 12.6-megapixel primary sensor) along with an f/1.9 aperture and support for optical image stabilisation (OIS) and electronic image stabilisation (EIS). It can capture images with a resolution of 4,096×3,072 pixels, as per the listing.

The entry also reveals that the OnePlus 13 might be equipped with a 16-megapixel selfie camera (the entry states it will sport a 4-megapixel sensor), with an f/2.4 aperture and EIS. This camera is said to be capable of capturing images at a resolution of 2,304×1,728 pixels.

More details about the OnePlus 13 are likely to surface online in the days leading up to its debut. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 (or Snapdragon 8 Elite) chip is expected to be announced on October 21, which means that the OnePlus 13 could be introduced in China in the coming days or week, following by a launch in global markets.

OnePlus 13 will soon hit shelves in China with major upgrades over the OnePlus 12. To build hype around the launch, the Chinese smartphone brand is sharing numerous teasers about the upcoming phone on the Web. The OnePlus 13 is confirmed to feature a brand-new X2 panel from BOE. OnePlus and its sister company Oppo have partnered up with BOE for the new screen. The panel has supposedly received the DisplayMate A++ certification. Oppo’s Find X8 is also expected to feature the same display panels.

OnePlus 13 Will Utilise New BOE Display

In a Weibo post, OnePlus announced that it will unveil a new display in partnership with BOE on October 15 at 2:00pm (11:30am IST). The latest second-generation Oriental screen has supposedly grabbed DisplayMate A++ certification for mobile phone screens. OnePlus claims that it is the world’s first device to get this rating. It is also said to have set 21 DisplayMate records. This OLED display will debut in OnePlus 13.

The teaser poster shared by OnePlus suggests that its sister firm Oppo will be part of the announcement. The new display is confirmed to bring enhanced brightness, efficiency, and eye protection.

OnePlus 13 Specifications (Rumoured)

As per past rumours, Oppo’s Find X8, which is set to launch on October 24, will also feature a new X2 Oriental screen. The OnePlus 13 is expected to feature a quad-curved 6.82-inch LTPO OLED display with QHD+ resolution and up to 120Hz refresh rate. The OnePlus 12’s X1 Oriental screen offers 4,500nits peak brightness so we can expect the OnePlus 13’s display to outperform this brightness level.

On top of that, the OnePlus 13 will presumably run on Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset. it is said to pack up to 24GB of RAM and up to 1TB of onboard storage.
