OnePlus 15 and Ace 6 official with massive batteries, 165Hz screens

Today, OnePlus took the wraps off its new flagship duo – OnePlus 15 and Ace 6.

The pair will initially launch in China, and we expect the latter to be unveiled in late November.

Both phones pack Snapdragon processors and 165Hz screens, as well as massive batteries. Let’s dive in.

OnePlus 15

The flagship gets a proper new design. The OnePlus 15 is now all flat, ditching the quad-curved display. The screen is also completely different, now, no longer a 6.82-inch QHD 120Hz unit but a 6.78-inch FHD+ 165Hz one. This is a new BOE X3 panel. The bezels are an even, small 1.15mm all around.

This makes the OnePlus 15 smaller overall than its predecessor.

The camera system has also changed. O.L., it’s no longer compatible with Hasselblad and now uses Oppo’s Lomo imaging system. The main camera is still a 50MP unit but with a smaller sensor (1/1.56″ vs. 1/1.4″), and the 50MP zoom is a 3.5x 85mm unit (vs. 73mm 3x the old one). The third camera is a 50MP 16mm F/2.0 ultra-wide. There is a 32MP selfie front.

The latest flagship is naturally the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC. A key upgrade on the OnePlus 13 is the new, massive 7,300mAh battery. It also hits 120W wired and 50W wireless charging.

OnePlus 15 runs Android 16 out of the box on top of Cloros 16.

OnePlus Ace 6

The OnePlus 6 is the successor to the OnePlus 5 in China and will likely make its global debut as the OnePlus 15R.

OnePlus Ace 6 has Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Edition and a large 6.83-inch FHD+ A AMOLED with 165Hz refresh rate.

The Ace 6 sports two cameras on the back – a 50MP wide-angle and an 8MP ultra-wide. There is a 16MP selfie front.

The Ace 6 also has the upper hand in terms of battery capacity, a 7,800mAH unit. It also supports 120W wired charging, but no wireless charging.
