OnePlus Ace 6T launch date confirmed: Debut set for December 3

The wait is finally over; we already know when OnePlus will debut its next performance-focused device. After weeks of leaks and official teasers showing off its design and some key features, the company has officially confirmed December 3 as the launch date of the OnePlus Ace 6T in China.

The announcement of the OnePlus Ace 6T is quite important for the brand. It will be the first phone powered by the recently launched Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip. While the chip name might lack the "Elite" branding seen elsewhere, early benchmark scores show performance exceeding initial expectations.
