OnePlus recently announced the upcoming launch of its new Ace5 series this month, comprising the OnePlus Ace5 and OnePlus Ace5 Pro, both boasting Snapdragon flagship processors. Previous leaks suggest the OnePlus Ace5 will feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, while the Ace5 Pro will utilize the Snapdragon 8 Elite (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2). The official marketing has intensified, highlighting the Ace5's performance challenge to its Pro counterpart.

"This time, the OnePlus Ace5 aims to challenge the Pro's performance. This week, we'll showcase the Ace5's performance with data, no empty promises," the official statement reads, promising detailed performance information this week. OnePlus China President, Li Jie, also joined the pre-launch hype, confidently stating, "The OnePlus Ace5 features an absolutely leading chip-level core game technology; its power consumption, temperature, and frame rate performance will be 'leaps and bounds' ahead of other models on the same platform!" Li Jie further revealed that this new gaming technology ensures the Ace5 maintains a consistently smooth, full-frame rate even under demanding conditions, adding, "Friends who've experienced this technology say we've 'optimized the 8 Gen 3 into an "8 Gen 3.5"'.

• Previously, Li Jie shared OnePlus Ace5's performance data from playing Honor of Kings: running at 120fps with maximum graphics settings for an hour, the Ace5 achieved an average frame rate of 120.4fps, with power consumption at only 3.57W and a maximum temperature of 40.3C. In comparison, a competitor's Snapdragon 8 Elite phone reached 120.2fps, 3.27W, and 40C; while a competitor's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 phone managed 119.8fps, 4.56W, and 42.1C. These figures clearly demonstrate the Ace5's significant gaming performance advantage.

Furthermore, a OnePlus device with model number PKG110 appeared on Geekbench, confirmed by blogger @WHYLAB as the OnePlus Ace5. Geekbench 6.3.0 results showed the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 powered Ace5 (16GB RAM) achieved a single-core score of 2261 and a multi-core score of 7188, further confirming its powerful performance.

Another tech blogger, @DigitalChatStation, revealed that the Ace5 series will utilize a new gaming WiFi chip offering enhanced speed, penetration, and signal strength. They also indicated a 1.5K pure straight screen, a short-focus optical under-screen fingerprint sensor across the series (no telephoto lens), a 6XXXmAh large-capacity battery, and support for 80W and 100W wired fast charging.

In terms of design, the OnePlus Ace5 will feature a straight screen, Crystal Shield glass, a metal frame, and a ceramic body. OnePlus emphasizes this is the only mid-range standard model currently using a ceramic body, achieved using the highly complex "Sky Blue Ceramic" process.

For comparison, the previous generation OnePlus Ace3 Pro features a 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 4500 nits, along with exclusive "Bright Eyes Protection" technology. It is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, paired with a dedicated gaming display chip, up to 24GB RAM and 1TB storage, and the second-generation TianGong cooling system.
