Battery and Charging
The OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra is being positioned as a gaming‑focused device, and the company has now confirmed its power specs. According to a series of Weibo posts (1, 2, 3), the phone packs an 8,600 mAh cell that can deliver up to seven hours of continuous gameplay at full frame rate.
Charging is handled by 120 W SuperVOOC, which OnePlus claims can add roughly two hours of gameplay after just a ten‑minute charge. This is an upgrade over earlier leaks that suggested a maximum of 100 W (source).
The device also incorporates OPPO’s Glacier Battery “Energy Concentration Chip.” OnePlus says the chip improves battery life, performance at low charge levels, and long‑term lifespan. It purportedly provides the equivalent of 200 mAh more battery life at normal temperatures, or 700 mAh more in extreme cold (‑20 °C) compared with phones lacking the chip.
Other Features
- Display: 165 Hz BOE panel (previously teased).
- Fingerprint: 3D ultrasonic sensor.
- Audio: Dual symmetrical speakers.
- Glass: OPPO Crystal Shield Glass for enhanced drop and scratch resistance.
- Water/Dust Resistance: IP69K rating, the highest currently available for smartphones.
- Gaming Accessories: An attachable gamepad that turns the phone into a handheld‑console‑like experience.
Launch and Availability
The Ace 6 Ultra is slated for a China‑first launch on 28 April at 7 PM local time. OnePlus has not confirmed whether this exact model will be released globally. Historically, Ace‑series phones have been rebranded for other markets (e.g., the Ace 6T became the OnePlus 15R), but no official word has been given for the Ace 6 Ultra.
