OnePlus teases large battery and 100W fast charging for Snapdragon 8 Gen 5-equipped Ace 6T

OnePlus will offer one of the first phones that’s powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, the Ace 6T. With this sub-flagship SoC, it will be positioned below the OnePlus 15, but slightly above the last-gen OnePlus 13.

Nonetheless, the brand has yet to confirm when the OnePlus Ace 6T will launch, but it has started to tease the smartphone. Li Jie Louis, the company’s president, has now revealed that the upcoming sub-flagship phone will pack a large battery with a capacity higher than 8,000mAh, something that the past reports have hinted at.

For reference, the OnePlus 15 comes with a 7,300mAh battery, which is already larger than most of the recently launched Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 flagship phones. Jie Louis has further confirmed that the Ace 6T will have support for 100W fast charging, which is slightly lower than the 120W support on the OnePlus 15 (150W SuperVOOC charger curr. $34.98 on Amazon).

Other than the preliminary battery details, the company’s president has hinted that the Ace 6T will sport a display with support for a 165Hz refresh rate, matching what the OnePlus 15 offers.

As for the global launch, it’s unclear what the OnePlus Ace 6T will be rebranded to, but it could make an international debut as the OnePlus 15R. Of course, past reports have also hinted that the 15R will be a rebadged non-T Ace 6 instead, which has already launched in China.
