A few weeks back, the OnePlus Ace 6 went official in China alongside the OnePlus 15. However, in less than a month's time, the other models in the "Ace 6" lineup has already started leaking online. The latest one talks about the alleged OnePlus Ace 6T and what it has to offer.
Looks like another OnePlus Genshin Impact Edition phone is on its way
Known Weibo leaker Smart Pikachu has revealed that the next Ace 6 phone, the OnePlus Ace 6T will revive the Genshin Impact edition with a new Electric Purple colourway. The last OnePlus phone to arrive with this collaboration was the OnePlus 12R back in 2024.
This comes right after Digital Chat Station's (DCS) post which debunked the existence of the previously leaked OnePlus Ace 6 Pro Max. Both tipsters believe that the upcoming "Ace 6" series phone will be called the OnePlus Ace 6T and the "T" here will not denote Turbo. Rather, it will follow the OnePlus 6T's DNA in terms of being a "flagship killer" smartphone.
As for the new phone's specifications, DCS claims that it will feature a Snapdragon 8 series chipset, paired with a high refresh rate screen and fast fingerprint unlock. This means that while the recently launched OnePlus Ace 6 featured the Snapdragon 8 Elite, the Ace 6T could become the first phone to bring the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor.
The choice seems more than obvious, since the top-of-the-line OnePlus 15 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. So, the brand still needs one phone to feature the other Qualcomm processor which is also brand new. Hence, the Ace 6T with Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 is the most ideal choice as of now.
Other than that, early leaks claim that the smartphone will bring a 6.7-inch 1.5K 165 Hz OLED display, a massive 8,000mAh battery with 100W charging support, a 50 MP rear camera setup, an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner and more.
That said, none of the above-mentioned details are official yet. Moreover, Qualcomm is yet to announce which OEMs will adopt the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip. Hence, before anything goes official, we urge folks to take these details with a pinch of salt.
