OnePlus has officially introduced the OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra in China as a gaming-focused smartphone as well as a new accessory designed specifically for it. The device joins the Ace 6 lineup, powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset, built to deliver high-frame-rate gaming across several popular titles.
Gaming Performance
The Dimensity 9500 is paired with a Mali-G1 Ultra GPU featuring 12 cores. OnePlus says the chip more than doubles ray tracing performance and improves overall performance by 33% versus the previous generation, while the octa-core CPU delivers a 32% boost in single-core performance thanks to the ARM C1-Ultra core. The phone is claimed to run Delta Force at 165fps for three hours straight with no performance drops, while averaging 4.6W of power consumption.
The processor promises 165fps gameplay in six popular games which include League of Legends: Wild Rift, Clash of Clans, Soul Knight, and Subway Surfers.
Battery and Charging
The OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra packs an 8,600mAh dual-cell battery, which, according to OnePlus, is the second-largest battery ever used in one of its phones. The company claims the battery can last up to 7.4 hours of gaming at 165fps or up to 13.6 hours of navigation and is rated for five years of use. It also supports bypass charging, which lets the phone draw power directly without stressing the battery as much when plugged in.
You also get 120W wired fast charging. According to OnePlus, the battery can reach 53% in 20 minutes and full charge in 49 minutes.
Display and Design
The OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra uses a 6.78-inch OLED display from BOE with a resolution of 1,272 x 2,772 pixels. It is a 10-bit panel with Dolby Vision, HDR10+, full DCI-P3 coverage, and can reach 3,600 nits at 25% APL.
The phone’s frame is made of aluminum alloy, while the screen is protected by tempered glass. The rear panel varies by colorway, with Ace Awakening using a second sheet of tempered glass and Metal Storm using regular glass. It also includes symmetrically placed stereo speakers, an X-axis linear motor, and an ultrasonic fingerprint reader under the display.
Camera and Durability
On the camera side, the OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra features a 50MP main rear camera with OIS. It is joined by an 8MP ultra-wide camera, while the front uses a 16MP selfie camera. The rear camera can record 4K video at up to 60fps, while the selfie camera tops out at 1080p 30fps.
The phone is also built with durability in mind. It carries IP66, IP68, and IP69K ratings, covering splashes, submersion, and hot water jets.
