The base OnePlus Ace 5 is teased to draw power from a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, while the Pro variant will come with a Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC.

OnePlus Ace 5 Pro is tipped to feature a 6.82-inch 1.5K OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, up to 24GB of LPDDR5x RAM, and up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 onboard storage. It could house a triple rear camera unit led by a 50-megapixel primary sensor. The phone is expected to use an in-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor and a 16-megapixel selfie shooter. The Pro model is likely to support 100W fast charging.

Since the OnePlus Ace 3 is available internationally as the OnePlus 12R it is believed that the Ace 5 will be rebranded as OnePlus 13R in markets outside China. The Ace 5 Pro might not see a global launch.
