OnePlus appears to be gearing up for the release of an exciting new flagship model, the Ace 5 Pro. According to the latest leaks, this model is set to feature a unique “gaming chip” that works alongside the highly anticipated Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC. This co-processor is rumored to enhance power efficiency, distinguishing it from other Android devices equipped with the same core chipset.
Designed specifically for the Chinese market, the Ace 5 Pro might be a variation of the upcoming 13R but with some notable upgrades. The standout feature being the exclusive inclusion of both the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and the innovative “Fengchi gaming” chip. This combination reportedly delivers exceptionally efficient gaming performance, consuming an average power of only 3.71W while delivering frame-rates as high as 120.6fps in games like Honor of Kings.
When it comes to gaming-heavy tasks, the Ace 5 Pro impresses with its energy efficiency, using just 3.92W to run Genshin Impact at 60.5fps for an hour. Pushing the limits even further, the smartphone consumes 5.44W while operating Honkai Star Rail in its demanding “ultra-high load” mode. This suggests a formidable balance of power conservation and optimal frame-rate performance, positioning the Ace 5 Pro as a tough competitor against other devices carrying the 8 Elite chipset, possibly even the OnePlus 13.
The Ace 5 Pro is also expected to come with Synopsys S3910 touch-response technology, paired with a high-end BOE X2 display, promising a top-tier visual and interactive experience. Despite its high-end features, the smartphone is speculated to launch as an accessible flagship, potentially aligning with the price range of the OnePlus 12R, which is currently available for around $499.99.
With such promising features, the Ace 5 Pro could be a significant contender in the smartphone market, especially among gaming enthusiasts looking for a seamless and efficient experience.
