OnePlus is set to introduce the Ace 5 in China next month, followed by a global release in markets such as India. The international variant is expected to be marketed as the OnePlus 13R, following the pattern seen with earlier models. For example, the OnePlus 12R was a rebranded version of the OnePlus Ace 3, and the upcoming model is anticipated to follow suit with similar features in both Chinese and global markets.
Recent leaks have provided insight into the key specifications of the OnePlus Ace 5, also known as the OnePlus 13R. According to the leaks, the device will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, which is a notable upgrade from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 found in the OnePlus 12R. This aligns with OnePlus' trend of incorporating last year's flagship chipset in their R-series models while reserving the latest processors for their premium phones.
