OnePlus Ace 5 lineup gets two new members
OnePlus Ace 5 and Ace 5 Pro have been on the smartphone market for almost half a year, but now the company refreshes the series with two more models – Ace 5 Racing and Ace 5 Ultra.
These new smartphones are entirely different in specs and design, but keep the overall tone of the lineup - flagship performance at sub-flagship prices. OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra
The name Ultra is literally translated as "Supreme," and is technically the most powerful Mediatek-equipped OnePlus smartphone – it comes with Dimensity 9400+. Here, we have a 6.83" OLED display with 120 Hz refresh rate and a resolution slightly greater than Full HD+.
The chipset is coupled with 12 GB or 16 GB LPDDR5X RAM and 256 GB, 512 GB, or 1 TB UFS 4.0 storage. They are split into five different memory combinations to cover a wide price spectrum.
The OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra has a modest camera setup: a 50 MP main shooter with an f/1.8 lens, AF and OIS, coupled with an 8 MP ultra-wide-angle shooter with a 112-degree FoV. The front camera is a basic 16 MP shooter sitting behind a punch hole.
The phone comes with a dedicated side button that can be programmed to act as a shortcut to a predetermined set of apps — alarm, torch, Night Mode, translator or AI.
OnePlus equipped the Ultra with a G1 connectivity chip that improves Wi-Fi speed and reliability by 33%, compared with competitors. It also has multi-layered cooling architecture with a 7,300 sq.mm vapor chamber.
The battery of the OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra has 6,700 mAh capacity. It comes with 100W wired charging support and also offers bypass charging. Just 10 minutes on the charger should offer 3 hours of gaming, while 39 minutes should fill the battery from 0 to 100%.
OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra
OnePlus comes in China with Oppo's ColorOS 15 and the in-house AI assistant, which is available only in the domestic market. Its colors are Blue, Black and Titanium Silver (with a cool striped design on the back), and the starting price is CNY2,499 (12/256 GB). The most expensive version is 16 GB RAM + 1 TB storage and costs CNY 3,799. OnePlus Ace 5 Racing
OnePlus Ace 5 Racing comes with a Dimensity 9400e chipset. It has the same RAM and storage options as the Ultra, sans the 1 TB variant.
The cameras on the back are downgraded to 50 MP main and 2 MP B&W sensor. The selfie camera retains its 16 MP sensor.
Ace 5 Racing is built around a 6.77" AMOLED panel with Full HD+ resolution and up to 120 Hz refresh rate.
OnePlus decided not to go with the dedicated G1 connectivity chip but at least brought a sophisticated cooling solution (although not as good as the one on the Ultra), including a 7,000 sq mm vapor chamber.
The Ace 5 Racing excels over the Ultra with battery capacity – it brings the biggest cell in a OnePlus smartphone – 7,100 mAh. It charges at "only" 80W and it comes with bypass charging.
This phone runs with ColorOS 15 and some AI features, like 4K upscaling in videos and erasing objects in photos.
OnePlus Ace 5 Racing
OnePlus Ace 5 Racing is available in White, Black, and Mint Green. Starting price is CNY1,799 for 12/256 GB.
We don't expect this phone to launch outside China, but we would love to be surprised by OnePlus and Oppo.

iQOO 15 screen and camera specs tipped
The iQOO 13 was among the first phones to launch with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen Elite when it made its debut in late October of last year and expectations are that its successor will launch around the same time this fall. Digital Chat Station went ahead and shared some preliminary specs for the device, which will apparently be called iQOO 15. As per the post, the iQOO 15 will feature a Samsung-made 6.85-inch "2K" display. This is most likely an LTPO AMOLED panel, and the tipster suggests that it will utilize the LIPO (low injection pressure overmolding) display packing process, which helps reduce display bezels. Aside from the fancy new display, iQOO 15 is expected to offer a periscope camera module, which would be an upgrade from the 2x telephoto found on its predecessor. Previous rumors also suggest a 7,000mAh battery. vivo iQOO 13 Source (in Chinese) | Via

Huawei tipped to make 3nm chips in 2026
Huawei is developing a true 5 nm production line without the need for EUV lithography machines. Furthermore, 3 nm chips are already in the R&D stage, with plans to start production by 2026, according to a report by UDN. Huawei cannot use standard EUV technology, as it is patented by the Dutch company ASML, which is banned from working with the Chinese manufacturer. Instead, the company is using SSA800 lithography machines with multi-patterning, made by Shanghai Micro Electronics (SMEE). Research and development for 3nm chips are following two approaches: one is GAA architecture (the standard one, used by TSMC and Samsung), and the other is a carbon nanotube-based chip that has already completed lab validation and is now being adapted for SMIC's production lines. Earlier this month, the Huawei Matebook Fold arrived, powered by Kirin X90. While the company calls it a "5nm chip," it is actually a 7nm design with advanced packaging technology. It brings performance on par with other 5 nm chips, but the yield is only 50%, which is extremely low, making the chip more expensive to manufacture. Source
