The Dimensity 9350-powered device is said to feature a large battery of around 7,000mAh, and a flat OLED LTPS display with 1.5K resolution. While it is expected to launch as an Ace series, it is unclear whether it will be called the Ace 5s or Ace 5V.
The Snapdragon 8 Elite model is likely the OnePlus 13 Mini, expected to launch in the second quarter of 2025. Apart from the redesigned look, the device is expected to arrive with a flat LTPO OLED 1.5K resolution display, an in-screen fingerprint sensor, a triple camera system featuring a 50-megapixel primary camera, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide sensor, and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto with 3x periscope telephoto camera. The device is expected to pack a large battery and support wireless charging.
