Leak shares more details about affordable OnePlus phone with Snapdragon 8 Gen 5

The recently launched OnePlus 15 is set to make a global debut soon, and in China, this Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 flagship phone was accompanied by a new sub-flagship, the Ace 6. Unlike the former, the Ace 6 features the last-gen Snapdragon 8 Elite, and it's expected to launch in the international market as the OnePlus 15R.

However, per recent reports, it seems that the brand is about to launch more phones before 2025 ends. Among them, as OnePlus previously teased, one will feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, which should be more affordable than the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered OnePlus 15.

A reliable Weibo leaker, Digital Chat Station, reports that this Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 OnePlus phone will come with a large battery, featuring a capacity higher than 8,000 mAh. The tipster also adds that the smartphone will sport a 165 Hz flat-screen display with a "1.5K" resolution (10K Anker Nano power bank curr. $39.99 on Amazon).

Digital Chat Station notes that the phone will come with a metal frame and sport a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. The model name is still unclear, but it may launch as the rumored OnePlus Turbo. Interestingly, the brand is reportedly working on a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 smartphone as well.

This upper mid-range OnePlus phone, per Digital Chat Station, will also feature a large battery. The Weibo tipster further adds that this Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 smartphone will be going against Dimensity 8500 phones from competitors, such as the rumored Redmi Turbo 5.
