2 new OnePlus phones are launching soon, and no we are not talking about OnePlus 13s
While the world is busy talking about the upcoming OnePlus 13s — OnePlus is instead, quietly getting ready to expand its Ace 5 lineup in China. Two new models — the OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra and the Ace 5 Racing Edition — are officially on the way, and no, these are not just minor refreshes. As confirmed by OnePlus on Weibo, both phones are expected to pack serious performance chops, complete with high-end MediaTek 9400 series chips and large batteries. But here's the catch — like most phones in the Ace line-up, these new ones are almost certainly staying exclusive to China.advertisementThe OnePlus Ace series has always had a bit of a weird story when it comes to India. Take the Ace 5, for example — it launched in China last year and came to India as the OnePlus 13R. But the Ace 5 Pro, which had the better Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, never made it here. And now, with the new Ace 5 Ultra and Racing Edition confirmed for China, it's pretty clear these won't be coming to India either. That's a bit disappointing, especially since both phones look pretty solid on paper.Now, let's talk specs. The OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra will be powered by MediaTek's Dimensity 9400+ chipset along with up to 16GB of RAM, 1TB storage and Android 15 out of the box. The phone was also recently spotted on Geekbench with some strong numbers: 2,779 in single-core and 8,660 in multi-core. On the display side, it could sport a large 6.83-inch LTPS OLED panel with a 1.5K resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, backed by a massive 7,000mAh battery and 100W fast wired charging. There's also talk of a dual rear camera setup headlined by a 50-megapixel sensor, along with a 16-megapixel camera for selfies.advertisementThe Ace 5 Racing Edition, meanwhile, will reportedly feature the new Dimensity 9400e chip — a slightly toned-down version of the 9400+ — and a 6.77-inch OLED screen. The refresh rate and the resolution are said to remain the same at 120Hz and 1.5K. You'll still get that 7,000mAh battery, although fast charging is expected to be capped at 80W. Camera specs are rumoured to match the Ultra model, with a 50-megapixel primary rear sensor and a 16-megapixel front-facing camera.As mentioned earlier, both the OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra and Ace 5 Racing Edition will be exclusive to China. However, an exact date for the launch hasn't been revealed yet.That said, for those of us here in India, it's probably best to shift our focus to a phone that's actually set to launch in our market — the OnePlus 13s. Set to feature a 6.3-inch screen, the OnePlus 13s is confirmed to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and feature an all-new Plus Key that'll replace the good ol' alert slider.

OnePlus Pad 3 with Snapdragon 8 Elite processor launching next week: All you need to know
OnePlus has confirmed that its latest Android tablet, the OnePlus Pad 3, will be launched in North America, Europe and the UK on 5 June, powered by the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. On the same day, the company is also set to launch its India-exclusive OnePlus 13s compact flagship, which will feature the same SoC. However, the company is yet to announce whether the new tablet will be launched in India. The timing does seem ideal, given that last year's OnePlus Pad 2 also debuted around the same time during the OnePlus Summer Launch event. OnePlus Pad 3 will feature Open Canvas, which debuted with the OnePlus Open in 2023 and was later introduced to the OnePlus Pad 2 last year. This feature enables users to multitask with ease by opening up to three apps simultaneously. The promo images also reveal that, just like last year, OnePlus will offer a separate keyboard and stylus for the tablet. However, these accessories will most likely be sold separately. Leaks suggest that the tablet could be a rebranded version of the OnePlus Pad 2 Pro, launched in China last month. If these rumours are true, the tablet could feature a 13.2-inch, 3.4K, 144 Hz display with a High Brightness Mode (HBM) of 900 nits. Apart from being powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, the tablet could come with up to 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 4.0 storage. In terms of optics, it could feature a 13 MP primary camera with an LED flash and an 8 MP front-facing camera for video calls and the occasional selfie. The tablet could feature a 12,140 mAh battery with support for 67 W SuperVOOC wired fast charging. It is expected to run on Oxygen OS 15, based on Android 15, and support all the new AI features already seen on the OnePlus 13 (Review) and OnePlus 13R (Review).

Xiaomi 16 specs leaked, performance and camera seem to be in focus
It's crazy that we're even talking about the Xiaomi 16 series this early, but that's just how things move in the internet age. Following the recently leaked render of the Xiaomi 16, fresh details have now emerged regarding the phone's specs and features. If you're unaware, we're talking about a phone expected to succeed the Xiaomi 15 — a device that only launched in India a couple of months ago. Even if we consider the Xiaomi 15's original China launch, which happened in October last year, and assume Xiaomi sticks to a similar timeline for the 16 series this year — we're still discussing details of a phone that's at least five months away from becoming to Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the Xiaomi 16 will likely be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip — the spiritual successor to the current-gen 8 Elite processor. This isn't surprising, considering the Xiaomi 15 runs on the 8 Elite, so it's only logical the next model will move to the next-gen version. Qualcomm is expected to unveil the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 at the company's Snapdragon Summit, which is scheduled to take place between September 23 and 25. That said, Xiaomi has also recently introduced its own in-house chip — the Xring 01 — which currently powers the 15s Pro and Pad 7 Ultra. So, the possibility of the Xiaomi 16 using company's own chip can't be ruled out either. Again, this is purely speculative, and realistically, the Xiaomi 16 will most likely continue with the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 interesting detail is the rumoured battery capacity. Reports suggest that the Xiaomi 16 could pack a battery of over 6,500mAh. Early leaks even hint at the possibility of a 7,000mAh unit under the hood. Following the trend in the industry, this will probably be a silicon carbon battery — something we've started seeing more brands adopt for better energy density and efficiency. In the camera department, the Xiaomi 16 is expected to feature a triple rear camera setup. This includes a 50-megapixel primary sensor (reportedly 1/1.3-inch in size), a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 50-megapixel telephoto camera with macro functionality. The display is also said to be similar to the one on the Xiaomi 15 — a 6.32-inch panel, likely AMOLED with 12-bit colour support and an adaptive 1–120Hz refresh mentioned earlier, if Xiaomi sticks to its usual launch cycle, we can expect the Xiaomi 16, 16 Pro, and 16 Ultra to debut in China sometime in October. As for the Indian launch, it's safe to assume we'll see the Xiaomi 16 series arrive around March 2026. For context, the Xiaomi 15 was launched in India this past March and is currently available in a single 12GB RAM + 512GB storage variant, priced at Rs 64,999.
