- The device features a 6.78-inch BOE X2 flat display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 1600nits peak brightness.

OnePlus is coming out with its latest series of devices, and after the release of the OnePlus 13, all eyes were on the Ace 5. Well, the day is here as the OnePlus Ace 5 has finally made its debut in the Chinese market. This device will likely come out as the OnePlus 13R in other regions so let’s take a look at its specs and availability.
OnePlus Ace 5: Specifications
This year OnePlus is ditching the curved design of last year, and going with a completely flat display. However, the specs are not much of a departure from the previous model. It sports a 6.78 inch, 1.5K BOE X2 flat 8T LTPO display, with 120Hz refresh rate, and 1600nits peak brightness. For display protection, it rocks an OPPO Crystal Shield.

For the internals, OnePlus has gone with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. This is built on a 4nm architecture and features an 8-core layout with a 3.3 GHz max frequency. This is coupled with Adreno 750 GPU. It also comes with a huge 6400 mAh battery and an 80W charger to top it off completely in no time.
Coming to the cameras, it features a main Sony IMX906 50MP shooter, along with an 8MP ultrawide lens and a 2MP macro. This is a bit contrary to what we have heard as the assumption has been that the OnePlus 13R will come with a telephoto lens. On the front, we have a 16MP IMX480 camera. It can do a max of 4K 60 in video recording.
Apart from these, you get Bluetooth 5.4, Wi-Fi 7, NFC, IR blaster, and IP65 rating against dust and minor splashes. The frame is constructed out of metal and there’s an in-display optical fingerprint scanner on the display. The OnePlus Ace 5 will weigh 206 grams and has a thickness of 8.02mm. It runs on the latest version of ColorOS 15 based on Android 15.

- The OnePlus Watch 3 is launching on February 18.
- OnePlus says the watch will remain exclusive to the US Europe, and Canada.
- Watch 3 could boast a bigger battery, promising up to 5 days worth of usage in one go.
For OnePlus’ first Wear OS smartwatch, the OnePlus Watch 2 did many things right. Of all the things, it brought a massive battery and a hybrid design, solving one of the biggest issues with Wear OS. Well, the next iteration, i.e., the OnePlus Watch 3 is due for launch soon, and we finally know its launch date.
OnePlus has confirmed ( via X ) that the OnePlus Watch 3 is launching on February 18 at 8:00 AM EST. The brand says the watch will be exclusive to the US, Canada, and Europe .

Like the Watch 2, battery life will be the main selling point of the OnePlus Watch 3. With a 631 mAh battery, OnePlus is claiming 5 days of battery life in smart mode. So, this could make the Watch 3 the longest-lasting Wear OS smartwatch ever made.

Besides, there are a few design changes and additions. Watch 3 could feature a Titanium Bezel, Sapphire Crystal glass, and a new rotating crown . The watch will arrive in two colors — Emerald Titanium and Obsidian Titanium. It will feature the Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 and BES2800. Besides, the smartwatch could arrive with Wear OS 5 out of the box.
We can expect the Watch 3 to get new health features like ECG, Wrist Temperature, and a 60-second health checkup feature which were spotted last month in the OnePlus OHealth app. This could be a good improvement over the OnePlus Watch 2 had a great battery but was definitely lacking a bit in health tracking.
The health features on Watch 3 should put it on par with the Pixel Watch 3 ( review ) and Galaxy Watch 7. Besides that, we hope OnePlus ups the number of years of updates for the Watch 3. The Watch 2 only got two years of updates and is yet to receive Wear OS 5.
