A leaker has posted an image showing the OnePlus Ace 5, which is expected to debut globally as the OnePlus 13R.
OnePlus Ace 5 launch details revealed
The picture reveals flat edges, a flat screen, an alert slider on the left edge, and a circular triple camera housing on the back.
The image, shared by a Weibo leaker, shows a phone with flat metal edges, a flat screen, an alert slider, and a circular triple rear camera system. The leaker adds that the phone has a ceramic back. OnePlus has also confirmed on Weibo that the Ace 5 will be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, which is a powerful chipset capable of handling demanding tasks.
The tipster, Digital Chat Station, pointed to the OnePlus Ace 5 having a flat screen and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip. Additionally, the phone is said to feature a ~6,000mAh silicon battery, a 50MP IMX906 main camera, and a 50MP JN1 telephoto camera. These features, if accurate, would mark a significant upgrade over the already excellent OnePlus 12R.
Previously, the OnePlus 12R was praised for its excellent performance, 80W wired charging, high-quality screen, and great battery life. However, it faced criticism for its “clunky” software, lack of wireless charging, and underwhelming cameras. If the leaked features of the OnePlus 13R prove true, it could solidify its place as next year’s best mid-range smartphone in the US.
The phone is anticipated to launch soon, and expectations are high for this follow-up to the well-received predecessor.
