Hot on the heels of the recently announced OnePlus Turbo 6 and 6V , it seems that the company has another smartphone in the works. According to a recent post on Weibo by tipster Digital Chat Station, OnePlus could have another phone in development , this time powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500 chipset.
OnePlus with MediaTek Dimensity 9500
OnePlus typically uses Qualcomm’s chipsets for its flagship phones. It also uses them for some of its mid-range models. This includes the recently launched OnePlus Turbo 6 series, both of which use Snapdragon chips. However, the post by Digital Chat Station claims OnePlus has a new phone that could use the Dimensity 9500 .
So, what phone is this? As noted by Gizmo China , OnePlus typically uses Dimensity chipsets for its Ace-series of phones. This means that there’s a good chance that we could be looking at the company’s new Ace 6 Ultra. Plus, with rumors claiming that the Dimensity 9500 is 50% cheaper than Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 , it makes sense. The post also claims that the phone will feature a 6.78-inch display with a 1.5K resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate. It also sports a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, and it will apparently sport a battery around 8,000mAh to 9,000mAh.
This is on par with OnePlus’ recent launches, where we’re starting to see more devices packing larger batteries.
When can we expect it?
At the moment it’s anyone’s guess as to when the OnePlus Ace 6 series will launch. However, seeing as how the OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra was announced in May 2025, there’s a good chance its successor could debut around the same time this year. Based on the leaked specs, it does sound like it could be a worthy successor.
That being said, there are some slight differences. The Ace 5 Ultra used the Dimensity 9400+. However, Digital Chat Station claims that there won’t be any Dimensity 9500+ phones, which is basically an overclocked version of the Dimensity 9500.
We’re not sure if this really matters that much at the end of the day. The Dimensity 9500 is already a beast. While overclocking it could unlock extra speed, maybe it’s not entirely necessary.
