Chinese smartphone maker OnePlus is reportedly planning to launch the OnePlus Ace 5 smartphone in its home market, which could be rebranded as the OnePlus 13R in other regions, including India. According to a report by FoneArena, the OnePlus Ace 5 could launch in China this December, while the India launch is expected in January 2025 alongside the OnePlus 13 smartphone.

 

OnePlus Ace 5 (OnePlus 13R): What to expect

 

The report suggests the OnePlus Ace 5 smartphone will have a 6.78-inch flat OLED display with 1.5K resolution. The smartphone is expected to use last year’s flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip and feature a 6500mAh battery with support for 100W fast wired charging. For imaging, the smartphone would likely feature a 50MP primary camera sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP macro lens.

 

While OnePlus has equipped the OnePlus 13 flagship with an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, the OnePlus Ace 5, likely rebranded as the more affordable OnePlus 13R, is expected to retain the optical fingerprint scanner from last year’s model.
