The wait is finally over for OnePlus fans in China. The brand has just pulled the curtain back on two brand-new heavy-hitters under its Ace 5 lineup — the OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra and the Ace 5 Racing Edition.
But don’t be fooled by the “mid-range” tag — these devices are geared up with serious power, especially tailored for gamers and power users alike. With a colossal 7100mAh battery and cutting-edge chips, this duo is gunning for the big leagues. Here’s the scoop.
Ultra
Let’s kick things off with the Ace 5 Ultra — an absolute stunner in both looks and muscle. It features a sprawling 6.83-inch 1.5K AMOLED screen that hits a peak brightness of 1400 nits.
Sunlight? Not a problem. And while the refresh rate hasn’t been officially disclosed yet, it’s already looking buttery smooth.
A standout touch? A quick-access button on the left side of the frame. Tap it, and boom — you’ve got eight quick tools like mute, record, translate, and more at your fingertips. It’s like a utility belt baked right into the phone.
Underneath, the Ultra is packing the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ processor — a real beast built to breeze through multitasking and handle intense gaming without breaking a sweat.
Add in the custom Fengchi core tuned for gaming, and you’ve got a mobile powerhouse that feels more like a handheld console.
Racing
Prefer something a tad more compact? The Racing Edition might just be your pick. It comes with a slightly smaller 6.77-inch AMOLED display, still punchy and bright at 1300 nits, paired with a slick 120Hz refresh rate to keep visuals fluid.
This one’s driven by the Dimensity 9400e chip — not as souped-up as the Ultra, but still very capable. Whether you’re into mobile shooters or multitasking like a pro, this model won’t leave you hanging.
Battery
Both models are juiced by a massive 7100mAh battery. Translation? You’re getting well over a full day on a single charge — even if you’re glued to the screen. When it’s time to top up, 80W fast charging steps in to get you moving quickly.
To keep things cool under pressure, OnePlus has fitted these phones with an expansive Glacier cooling system. With a gigantic 29,772 mm² heat dissipation area, these phones stay cool whether you’re deep into a gaming marathon or streaming back-to-back shows.
Variants
There’s a model for every kind of user. Here’s how the pricing breaks down in China:
| Variant | Price (Yuan) | Approx. INR |
|---|---|---|
| 12GB + 256GB | 1799 | ₹21,300 |
| 16GB + 256GB | 2099 | ₹24,890 |
| 12GB + 512GB | 2299 | ₹27,300 |
| 16GB + 512GB | 2499 | ₹29,600 |
Given the specs, these prices are pretty aggressive — especially for phones this stacked. For now, they’re China-only, with no word yet on a global or India release. But if they land overseas, expect them to stir up the gaming and mid-range segments big time.
For gamers, content creators, or anyone tired of charging their phone twice a day, the OnePlus Ace 5 lineup could be a real game-changer.
With serious grunt, smart touches, and epic battery life, these devices check almost every box. Fingers crossed we see them in more markets soon.
