A new upper-midrange phone with a flagship chipset – a “flagship killer,” if you will – is presently under development by OnePlus. Although the exact name is yet unknown, OnePlus Ace 5V and Ace 5S appear to be the two possibilities. In any case, it will be the replacement for the Ace 3V, which was released in March of last year.
The new gadget is expected to be powered by MediaTek’s forthcoming Dimensity 9400+ SoC and have a 6.83-inch “1.5K” LTPS OLED flat panel with a refresh rate of 120 Hz. It will sport a 50 MP primary camera instead of a telephoto on the rear.

The device will come with OnePlus’ new button, which replaces the Alert Slider, and have a “simple design” on the back, whatever that means. The battery’s capacity has not yet been determined, although it may be 7,500 mAh when plugged at 80W or approximately 7,000 mAh when charging at 100W. OnePlus is presumably still undecided on whether to favor a larger battery or faster charging.
Although the exact date of the phone’s official release is unknown, we believe it will not be more than a few weeks, especially considering that the predecessor is rapidly approaching its one-year anniversary.
