OnePlus Ace 6: Affordable Redmi K90 competitor already available globally via import

OnePlus has launched two new phones in China, and the Ace 6 is one of them. It's a sub-flagship phone that's powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, the last-gen flagship SoC from Qualcomm. This Redmi K90 competitor is already available to global buyers via import through Giztop.

The base configuration of the OnePlus Ace 6, which comes with 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256 GB of UFS 4.1 storage, is priced at $459 on Giztop. As for the top-end config, it comes with 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage, and it's available at $689.

In China, the base configuration costs CNY 2,599, around $365, while the top-end configuration, on the other hand, goes for CNY 3,899, about $548. So, the price difference can be around $90 to $140 on Giztop, depending on the chosen configuration, but this is basically the premium buyers have to pay to get the devices earlier in the global market.

On that note, the Ace 6 is rumored to launch in the international market as the OnePlus 15R, and it's expected to go global alongside the OnePlus 15. To fill you in, the latter is a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 flagship phone, and it will reportedly land outside China on November 13, 2025, which isn't far from now.

Another factor that needs to be considered is the Chinese firmware of the imported OnePlus Ace 6. Although ColorOS 16 supports many different languages, it will have China-specific features and apps. Certain features that work on global phones, such as Android Auto, may not work out of the box on the phone as well.

For those interested in knowing more about the phone, the Ace 6 has a larger battery than the OnePlus 15 with 120 W fast charging (140 W Anker Prime charger curr. $79.99 on Amazon), and its display even has support for a 165 Hz refresh rate. The camera setup isn't as capable as its flagship sibling, but it's decent, and it also sports a sleek design. You can learn more about the device from our launch coverage.
