OnePlus 15 and Ace 6 are official with massive batteries, 165Hz screens

Today, OnePlus took the wraps off its new flagship duo – the OnePlus 15 and Ace 6.

The pair will launch in China initially, and we expect a global unveiling later in November.

Both phones pack Snapdragon processors and 165Hz screens, as well as massive batteries. Let’s dive in.

OnePlus 15

The flagship proper gets a new design. The OnePlus 15 is now all flat, ditching the quad-curved display. The screen is entirely different, too, no longer a 6.82-inch QHD 120Hz unit but a 6.78-inch FHD+ 165Hz one. It’s a newer BOE X3 panel. The bezels are an even, smaller 1.15mm on all sides.

This makes the OnePlus 15 overall smaller than its predecessor.

The camera system has changed, too. The main camera is still a 50MP unit but with a smaller sensor (1/1.56″ vs 1/1.4″), and the 50MP zoom is a 3.5x 80mm unit (vs the 73mm 3x of old). The third camera is a 50MP 16mm f/2.0 ultrawide. There’s a 32MP selfie upfront.

The latest flagship naturally has the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC. A key upgrade over the OnePlus 13 is the new, massive 7,300mAh battery. It also bumps up charging to 120W wired and 50W wireless.

OnePlus Ace 6

The OnePlus Ace 6 is the successor to the Ace 5 in China and will likely make a global debut as the OnePlus 15R.

The OnePlus Ace 6 has the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Edition and a larger 6.83-inch FHD+ AMOLED with a 165Hz refresh rate.

The Ace 6 drops down to two cameras on the back – a 50MP wide-angle and an 8MP ultrawide. There’s a 16MP selfie upfront.

The Ace 6 also has the upper hand in battery capacity with a mammoth 7,800mAh unit. It also supports 120W wired charging, but no wireless charging.
