Gaming Phones Galore: OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra and Racing Editions
Two unannounced OnePlus devices quietly surface, exhibiting impressive aesthetics.
OnePlus has dropped two new entrants in its Ace 5 series, specifically targeted at mobile gamers. Meet the Ace 5 Ultra Edition and the Ace 5 Racing Edition, both boasting powerful specs and designed with ergonomics in mind.
These bad boys are not your average smartphones. Equipped with esports-tuned hardware, they're here to elevate your gaming experience. And they're balancing this heavy-duty performance with stylish colorways - Titanium, Phantom Black, Breeze Blue, White, Black, and Mint Green.
At the heart of these devices lies the MediaTek Dimensity 9400e chipset, a powerhouse that powers an "Esports Triple-Chip" solution, as reported by Panda Daily. This beastly trio includes the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 Plus, Lingxi touch-control chip, and the G1 gaming-focused Wi-Fi chip, setting it apart in the industry.
Both phones come with the same 50MP shooter backed by a f/1.8 aperture and Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), along with an 8MP ultrawide angle lens sporting a 112° Field of View (FoV). Selfie enthusiasts will appreciate the 16MP front camera.
OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra Edition
Let's dive into the Ace 5 Ultra, also known as the Extreme or Supreme Edition. This model flaunts a 6.83-inch OLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. It's available in five distinct memory configurations catering to different wallet sizes, each offering either 12GB or 16GB of RAM and a plethora of storage options - 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB, all made possible by UFS 4.0.
The phone's impressive battery backup is fueled by a 6,700 mAh battery, accompanied by quick 100W wired charging. In just 39 minutes, you'll have your device fully charged, and within 10 minutes, expect 3 hours of gaming juiced up.
OnePlus Ace 5 Racing Edition
Buckle up for the Racing Edition, which comes with a larger 7,100mAh battery. Its charging speed isn't far behind, with a zesty 80W raring to go. This model sports a slightly smaller 6.77-inch AMOLED display with Full HD+ resolution and up to 120Hz refresh rate.
The Racing Edition also dishes out some AI magic, with 4K video upscaling and object removal in photos. Although sharing most specs with its Ultra sibling, the Racing Edition comes with 8GB of RAM and different pricing options.
Unfortunately, for now, these gaming powerhouses are exclusively available in the Chinese market, with a global release yet to be announced.
