Introducing the OnePlus Ace 5 Series: What to Anticipate
This month marks the debut of the OnePlus Ace 5 series in China. Given that its predecessor, the Ace 3, was released internationally as the OnePlus 12R, it is highly probable that the Ace 5 will be rebranded as the OnePlus 13R. An official announcement for this model is expected in January. It’s noteworthy to mention that there was no iteration labeled “Ace 4,” likely due to cultural tetraphobia surrounding the number four.

If you’re curious about how this upcoming premium device will look, a OnePlus executive has recently unveiled two official photographs of the Ace 5.

The visuals reveal impressively thin bezels on the display and gently curved corners for a refined aesthetic. The front-facing camera is positioned where one would typically expect it—this design aspect remains classic across many recent smartphone models. On its right side are both power and volume controls, while an alert slider can be found on the left side—features familiar to long-time fans of OnePlus devices.
Specifications That Stand Out
Rumors surrounding the specifications of either version—the OnePlus Ace 5 or anticipated rebranded version as OnePlus 13R—indicate several compelling features. It is expected to showcase a “1.5K” flat display complemented by an optical fingerprint sensor embedded within it. In terms of build quality, users can look forward to a durable metal frame along with an impressive battery capacity at around 6,200 mAh which supports rapid charging at up to an astounding rate of 100W.
Underneath its sleek exterior lies powerhouse performance bolstered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Gen 8 third-generation chipset—a significant upgrade promising enhanced speed and efficiency. As for photography enthusiasts, this device will incorporate a robust camera setup featuring a primary sensor with resolutions hitting up to57 MP alongside an additional ultra-wide lens at8 MP and complementing details offered by a secondary depth sensor at just2 MP.
