While the world is busy talking about the upcoming OnePlus 13 – OnePlus is getting ready to expand its Ace 5 lineup in China instead. Two new models – OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra and ACE 5 racing versions – are officially on the way, and not, these are not only minor refreshes. As confirmed by OnePlus WeiboBoth phones are expected to pack severe performance chops, which is completed with high-end MediaTek 9400 series chips and large batteries. But here is a catch-like most phones in the line-up, these newly new are certainly exclusive to China.

When India comes in, OnePlus Ace series always has a strange story. For example, take Ace 5 – it was launched in China last year and came to India as OnePlus 13R. But the Ace 5 Pro, which had a better Snapdragon 8 Elite Chip, never made it. And now, confirmed to China with the new Ace 5 Ultra and Racing version, it is very clear that they are not coming to India either. This is a bit disappointing, especially since both phones look very solid on paper.

Now, let’s talk about glasses. OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra will be powered by MediaTek’s Demistance 9400+ Chipset, as well as up to 16GB of RAM, 1TB storage and Android 15 boxes. The phone was recently seen with some strong numbers on Geekbench: 2,779 in single-core and 8,660 in multi-core. On the display side, it can sports a large 6.83-inch LTPS OLED panel with a 1.5K resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, supported by 7,000mAh battery and 100W fast wired charging. A double-rear camera setup by the 50-megapixel sensor has also been talked about, as well as a 16-megapixel camera for selfie.

Meanwhile, the Ace 5 racing version, allegedly will facilitate a slight toned-down version of the new defenseness 9400E-9400+-and 6.77-inch OLED screen. The fresh rate and resolution are said to stay the same at 120Hz and 1.5K. You will still get a 7,000mAh battery, although fast charging is expected to be capted at 80W. With the 50-megapixel primary rear sensor and 16-megapixel front-facing camera, the camera is rumored to match the ultra model.

As mentioned earlier, OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra and ACE5 racing versions will be both exclusive to China. However, an exact date for launch has not yet been revealed.

He said, for those of us in India, it is best to transfer our attention to a phone that is actually ready to launch in our market – OnePlus 13S. Set for the facility of a 6.3 inch screen, OnePlus 13S is confirmed to be operated by Snapdragon 8 Elite Chip and features an all-new plus key that will replace the good OL ‘alert slider.
