The tech world is buzzing, and for good reason. OnePlus has officially confirmed that its upcoming Ace 6T, slated for a December 3 launch, will be equipped with the largest battery ever seen in a OnePlus smartphone. This announcement comes as the latest in a series of tantalizing teasers from the company, which has been strategically building hype for its next performance-centric device on Chinese social media platforms.
While the wait for the official unveiling continues, the confirmed specs are already painting a picture of a true powerhouse designed for gamers and power users who refuse to be tethered to a power outlet.
A New King of Battery Life is Crowned
Just last month, the OnePlus Ace 6 set a new high-water mark for the brand with its substantial 7,800 mAh power pack, a significant 500 mAh jump over the flagship OnePlus 15. Now, the Ace 6T is poised to claim that crown. In a clear demonstration of its "never settle" ethos, OnePlus has revealed that the Ace 6T will feature a colossal 8,300 mAh battery.
This represents another 500 mAh advantage over its direct predecessor, the Ace 6, solidifying a new tier of battery capacity for the smartphone industry. To put that into perspective, this is a battery size typically associated with rugged phones or tablets, not sleek, high-performance smartphones. Accompanying this massive cell is support for 100W wired charging, ensuring that topping up this behemoth won't be an all-day affair.
The company has been actively showcasing the device's capabilities, including a recent gaming performance teaser on Weibo that highlights its status as the first smartphone powered by the next-generation Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset.

Leaked Specs Fill in the Blanks
Beyond the official battery news, a listing on China Telecom has provided a treasure trove of potential specifications that OnePlus has yet to confirm. According to the network carrier, the Ace 6T will feature a large 6.83-inch display with a blazing-fast 165 Hz refresh rate, perfect for buttery-smooth gaming and scrolling.
The device is expected to be housed in dimensions of 163.41 × 77.04 × 8.32 mm, making it slightly larger and thicker than the OnePlus 15, a trade-off likely necessitated by its enormous battery. The camera system is tipped to include a 50 MP primary sensor, an 8 MP secondary lens, and a 16 MP front-facing camera.
Under the hood, the phone is expected to be offered with up to 16 GB of RAM and a whopping 1 TB of storage. One potential caveat for data transfer enthusiasts is the mention of only a USB 2.0 standard Type-C port, which may feel like a step behind for a device with such cutting-edge internals. More details on these specifications were spotted in a series of regulatory filings and teasers that have been circulating online.
What Does This Mean for Global Users?
For our international readers eagerly watching these developments, there's important context. While the "Ace" series typically remains a China-exclusive model, it almost always serves as the blueprint for the global "R" series. As noted in a recent industry analysis, the Ace 6T is expected to launch globally around December 17 as the successor to the OnePlus 13R.
The big question remains: will the global OnePlus 15R inherit the Ace 6T's massive 8,300 mAh battery? While nothing is confirmed, it seems highly probable that the global model will see a significant battery upgrade over the 6,000 mAh cell in the current OnePlus 13R (which is currently available on Amazon for $549), even if it doesn't reach the same extreme capacity.
OnePlus is clearly pushing the boundaries of what's possible in a consumer smartphone, focusing on raw power and unparalleled battery life. With each new teaser, from the display technology to the charging capabilities, the December 3 launch date for the OnePlus Ace 6T becomes one of the most anticipated events in the mobile calendar. Stay tuned for our full coverage as the story develops.
