Key Features and Specifications
The dual-SIM OnePlus Ace 6 operates on ColorOS 16, which is built upon the latest Android 16. Its visual prowess comes from a stunning 6.83-inch 1.5K (1,272 x 2,800 pixels) flat AMOLED display, boasting an ultra-smooth 165Hz refresh rate and an incredible peak brightness of 5,000 nits. For enhanced security and convenience, the display integrates a 3D fingerprint scanner, alongside advanced eye-protection features.
Under the hood, the device is powered by the high-performance Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. This is paired with a generous up to 16GB of LPDDR5X Ultra RAM and a spacious up to 512GB of UFS 4.1 internal storage. To elevate your gaming experience, OnePlus has also included a dedicated G2 gaming chip.
When it comes to photography, the OnePlus Ace 6 doesn’t disappoint. It features a versatile dual-rear camera system, highlighted by a 50-megapixel main sensor equipped with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), complemented by an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens. For crystal-clear selfies and video calls, there’s a 16-megapixel camera on the front.
Durability is also a key highlight, as the OnePlus Ace 6 sports a robust metal frame and an impressive array of IP ratings: IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K, providing superior protection against dust and water. Weighing in at 213 grams, the handset feels substantial yet manageable.
OnePlus has also introduced a “Plus key” on the Ace 6, offering customizable functionality. This innovative key allows users to swiftly switch between ring modes, open the camera, translate on-screen text, or toggle the flashlight. Additionally, it also serves as a shortcut for launching the AI Plus Mind space.
Perhaps one of its most remarkable features is the colossal 7,800mAh battery, touted as the largest in its class. This ensures extended usage, supported by a super-fast 120W wired charging capability. However, it’s worth noting that, unlike its sibling the OnePlus 15, the Ace 6 does not support wireless charging.
