Highlights
OnePlus is reportedly gearing up to launch a new small-screen flagship device next year, adding to its popular Ace series. While the exact details about the model remain unclear, leaks suggest that it could be part of the upcoming OnePlus Ace 5 lineup.
OnePlus seems to be concentrating on growing its Ace series, a high-end line that sits just below its flagship numbered lineup (e.g., OnePlus 12, OnePlus 13), after launching the OnePlus 13 in China last month.
Although the precise launch date is yet unknown, rumors suggest that the OnePlus Ace 5 series may make its debut in China before the end of this year. Further fueling the rumors is a recent Weibo leak that suggests the Ace series may soon see the release of a smaller flagship model aimed at those who like powerful but portable smartphones.
The Ace series has gained attention for offering high-end features at relatively competitive prices, making it a favorite among tech enthusiasts. A flagship with a small screen would give consumers a high-end gadget made for people who like small, portable smartphones without sacrificing functionality.
While we wait for more information, it’s evident that OnePlus is planning to accommodate a range of consumer tastes with both flagship devices and affordable, high-performing alternatives. Keep an eye out for more updates on the Ace series and its potential new addition!
A New OnePlus Ace Series Phone Could Be in the Works
OnePlus is reportedly working on a small-screen flagship, potentially launching in Q2 2025 (April to June). Although the schedule is reportedly preliminary, the information was obtained from a Weibo post made by well-known tipster Digital Chat Station. The specific name of the phone has not been disclosed by the source, however it is anticipated to be a member of the Ace series. This speculated small-screen flagship marks a significant break from the Ace-series smartphones’ customary larger displays, which are usually around 6.78 inches.
It’s unclear whether this device will belong to the upcoming Ace 5 series or if it will debut as an entirely new addition to the Ace lineup. Although there are still little details available on its features and hardware, rumors indicate that it will compete in China with other small flagship models such as the Vivo X200 Pro Mini and the OPPO Find X8 Mini.
As of now, there’s no word on the phone’s global availability. But considering OnePlus’ history of serving global markets, it’s feasible that the flagship small-screen device may eventually make its debut outside of China. As additional information becomes available, stay tuned.
