OnePlus is releasing its latest series of devices, and after the release of the OnePlus 13, all eyes were on the Ace 5. Well, the day has arrived as the OnePlus Ace 5 has finally made its debut in the Chinese market. This device will likely be released as the OnePlus 13R in other regions, so let’s take a look at its specifications and availability.

OnePlus Ace 5: Specifications

This year, OnePlus is ditching last year’s curved design and opting for a completely flat screen. However, the specifications don’t really deviate from the previous model. It sports a 6.78-inch 8T LTPO 1.5K BOE For screen protection, it uses an OPPO Crystal Shield.

For the internals, OnePlus has opted for the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. This is built on a 4nm architecture and features an 8-core layout with a maximum frequency of 3.3 GHz. This is coupled with the Adreno 750 GPU. It also comes with a massive 6,400mAh battery and an 80W charger to fully charge it in no time.

Coming to the cameras, it features a 50MP Sony IMX906 primary shooter, along with an 8MP ultra-wide lens and a 2MP macro.

It can do a maximum of 4K 60 video recording.
