New leaks suggest that OnePlus may also have a potent mid-range phone in the works. The company will soon launch the OnePlus 13 in China.
Leaked specifications for a OnePlus mid-range phone were posted by Digital Chat Station. OnePlus Ace 5 is most likely the phone in question, as the specs indicate.
However, these specs make this a mid-tier device that is impressive. According to the leaker, you can expect a Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor, a 6,000mAh silicon battery, and a flat, 1.5K display. Also included in the phone is an OPPO Find X8 image processor, a Sony IMX906 primary camera (1/1.56-inch sensor size), and a Samsung JN1 telephoto lens with 50MP.
The Ace 2 and Ace 3 have been rebranded in global markets as the OnePlus 11R and OnePlus 12R, respectively. OnePlus 13R could launch outside China as this leaked device.
In global markets, it wouldn’t surprise me if the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip mentioned here were replaced by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 or another less capable processor. OnePlus 11R and 12R both used older (but still powerful) flagship SoCs. For a mid-range phone, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 is also expected to be twice as expensive as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
