OnePlus Ace 5, Ace 5 Pro coming with new cameras, bigger batteries

The OnePlus 13 is expected to arrive next month, around the time Qualcomm announces the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset that will power the flagship. We now learned the company is also preparing the Ace 5 and Ace 5 Pro for a launch in China, and both phones will be a major upgrade over their predecessors.

The duo will have a new 50 MP camera sensor with a 1/1.56″ size, part of the IMX9 lineup by Sony. Also the Pro will bring a telephoto shooter with a periscope lens, something we haven’t seen so far in an Ace phone.

OnePlus will use the new X2 OLED by BOE, expected to appear first on the OnePlus 13. The screen will have 1.5K resolution (around 1260p) and will be a flat panel, no curved sides whatsoever.

The phones might sound the same, but the major difference will be the chipset – Ace 5 is getting Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and Ace 5 Pro will run on Snapdragon 8 Gen 4.

Both phones are expected to benefit from the new battery technology that OnePlus developed jointly with CATL. It is called Glacier Battery, and it is extremely thin but has increased capacity; this means Ace 5 and Ace 5 Pro would get 6,000 mAh batteries with 100W wired charging.
