New OnePlus phone leaks with 185Hz display, flagship chipset and large battery

Reliable tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed key details about a new OnePlus smartphone. The source did not reveal the exact model name. However, it could be the OnePlus Ace 7, the successor to the OnePlus Ace 6.

The leak suggests that the new smartphone will feature a 6.78-inch flat screen with a "1.5K" resolution. The device is tipped to support at least a 185Hz refresh rate, though 240Hz is reportedly also being tested.

The upcoming OnePlus phone is expected to use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, a flagship chipset that powers the OnePlus 15 (curr. $849 on Amazon). Notably, it may feature an active cooling system with a built-in fan.

Additionally, the phone is expected to have a battery capacity of around 9,000mAh with 100W fast charging. For a comparison, the OnePlus Ace 6 comes with a 165Hz display, a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, and a 7,800mAh battery.

In other news, the OnePlus 16 was previously tipped to feature the next-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro and a 200MP primary camera.
