After weeks of building anticipation with cryptic teasers, OnePlus has finally pulled back the curtain on its latest smartphone in China. The OnePlus Ace 6T isn’t just another incremental update; it’s a statement piece packing a world-first processor, a colossal battery that redefines endurance, and features squarely aimed at the most demanding mobile gamers.
At the heart of this beast lies the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, making its global debut. Positioned just a shade below the top-tier Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, this chipset promises flagship-level performance without the absolute peak price tag. But the headline-grabbing spec might just be what it’s paired with: an immense 8,300 mAh battery. This is the largest cell ever fitted into a OnePlus phone, promising to end battery anxiety for good.
This powerhouse battery supports blazing-fast 100W wired charging. OnePlus claims the combo can refill the Ace 6T from a nerve-wracking 1% to a comfortable 50% in just 23 minutes. For those looking to pick up a compatible charger, the Ugreen Nexode 100W GaN charger is a popular option (currently $39.99 on Amazon). The phone also supports bypass charging for cooler gaming sessions and even wired reverse charging to top up your earbuds or another device in a pinch.
Of course, all that power needs to be kept in check. OnePlus has integrated a sophisticated vapor chamber cooling system with a total heat dissipation area of a staggering 43,940 mm². The company boldly states this allows the Ace 6T to run up to 2°C cooler than key competitors during extended, graphics-heavy gaming marathons—a critical advantage for sustained performance.
Speaking of gaming, the Ace 6T is loaded with enhancements. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 is flanked by G2 WiFi for a stable, low-latency connection and a dedicated Touch Response Chip to make every tap and swipe feel instantaneous. It’s a combo designed for the split-second decisions of competitive titles.
The experience is displayed on a screen built for speed. With a 165Hz refresh rate for buttery-smooth visuals and an ultra-high 3,200Hz touch sampling rate, responsiveness is the priority. OnePlus has also included premium features like Rain Touch 2.0, which improves accuracy on a wet screen, and a flagship-grade ultrasonic fingerprint reader for faster, more reliable unlocks.
Rounding out the package is a dual-camera system led by a 50MP main sensor, configurations offering up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage, and forward-looking WiFi 7 support.
For Chinese consumers eager to get their hands on it, the OnePlus Ace 6T is available for pre-order starting at CNY 2,599 (approximately $367). For the rest of the world, this device will be rebadged as the OnePlus 15R, with a global launch date set for December 17, 2025. This strategic launch gives OnePlus a significant head start in showcasing its next-generation technology before the device reaches international markets.
