OnePlus Ace 5 Series Launch Timeline
According to tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the OnePlus Ace 5 series will debut in December 2024 in China. The tipster mentions SM8650/8750 series phones, referring to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Snapdragon 8 Elite chipsets, which are expected to power these devices. If true, the Ace 5 series will launch earlier than the OnePlus Ace 3, which arrived in January 2024, and the Ace 3 Pro, which launched in June 2024.
There is some uncertainty regarding whether the Ace 5 and Ace 5 Pro will launch together, or if only one of the models will be released first.
