Display and Design
The OnePlus Ace 6 features a 6.83-inch LTPO AMOLED display that supports 165Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HDR Vivid. It’s among the brightest screens on a non-Pro OnePlus model, peaking at 1800 nits. The panel delivers rich colors and ultra-smooth motion, perfect for gaming and media consumption.
The phone’s body is built from a mix of Crystal Shield Glass on both sides and an aluminum alloy frame, offering a solid premium feel. It’s also IP68/IP69K certified, meaning it can handle dust, high-pressure water jets, and short immersions a first for the Ace lineup. The phone weighs 213 grams and is 8.3mm thick, striking a balance between sturdiness and sleekness.
Performance and Software
Under the hood, the Ace 6 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite (3nm) chipset the same chip used in the OnePlus 15 flagship. It features an octa-core CPU (with Oryon V2 Phoenix cores) and an Adreno 830 GPU, ensuring cutting-edge performance for heavy multitasking, gaming, and AI-powered tasks.
The phone ships with Android 16 based ColorOS 16, promising a clean interface with enhanced AI and optimization tools. OnePlus also claims improved thermal management for sustained gaming performance, which complements the powerful internals.
Cameras
On the back, the OnePlus Ace 6 features a dual-camera system, led by a 50MP main sensor with OIS, and an 8MP ultrawide lens for landscape and group shots. The camera supports 4K video at up to 120fps, HDR, panorama, and advanced stabilization with gyro-EIS.
On the front, there’s a 16MP selfie camera with support for 1080p video recording and gyro-EIS, making it ideal for vlogging or video calls. While the setup isn’t as advanced as the OnePlus 15’s triple-lens configuration, it still offers flagship-level clarity and consistency.
Battery and Charging
Powering the device is a massive 7,800mAh silicon-carbon battery, paired with 120W wired fast charging. OnePlus claims a 58% charge in 20 minutes and full charge in around 43 minutes. The Ace 6 also supports UFCS, PPS, PD, and Quick Charge standards, making it versatile across charging protocols.
It even includes bypass charging, allowing users to power the phone directly during gaming sessions without overheating the battery.
Connectivity and Audio

For security, there’s an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, alongside face unlock and motion-based controls.
Pricing and Availability
The OnePlus Ace 6 will be available in Black, White, and Silver, with models ranging from 12GB + 256GB to 16GB + 1TB, based on UFS 4.1 storage.
Prices start at around €310 in China, making it a very competitive option given its flagship-grade display and battery.

Final Thoughts
The OnePlus Ace 6 brings premium performance and futuristic features at a fraction of the cost of top-tier flagships. With its powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, bright 165Hz AMOLED display, and huge 7,800mAh battery, it’s one of the most value-packed OnePlus releases to date.
