OnePlus has officially announced the two new additions to its Ace series – the Ace 5 and Ace 5 Pro – are set to launch in China this December.
The teaser shared by OnePlus China Head Louis Lee confirms that the Pro model will feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, while the standard Ace 5 will run on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC.
Louis Lee shared his excitement for the new series in a post on the Chinese social media platform Weibo.
He wrote – “In the past, we used the standard version to ‘fight two with one,’ and we were still able to do it with ease; now, we have officially upgraded the Pro version, with the strongest attitude, and it will only be more powerful. Since we have come to this battlefield, we also have to say something fierce: I come, I see, I conquer.”
Lee also shared gaming performance data comparing the Ace 5 to competing devices running the same Snapdragon 8 Elite chip under identical testing conditions (120 frames, extreme image quality, one hour).
The competitor’s 8 Elite model achieved an average frame rate of 120.2, with power consumption at 3.27W and a maximum temperature of 40°C.
In comparison, the OnePlus Ace 5 recorded an average frame rate of 120.4 with a power consumption of 3.57W and a maximum temperature of 40.3°C. Meanwhile, the competing 8 Gen 3 model had an average frame rate of 119.8, power consumption of 4.56W, and a maximum temperature of 42.1°C.

Ace 5 Series – Name Confirmed
In a separate post, OnePlus China Head Louis Lee also put an end to all the speculations regarding the name of the upcoming smartphone series. Lee confirmed that the new phone is called the “OnePlus Ace 5 series”.
