The OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra is now official, and it arrives with a clear focus on mobile gaming. The company also introduced a dedicated gaming controller built specifically for this device. Unlike the OnePlus Ace 6 and OnePlus Ace 6T, this model uses a MediaTek processor. It runs on the Dimensity 9500 chipset, which targets smooth high-frame-rate gaming.
The chipset delivers up to 165fps gameplay in six popular titles. These include League of Legends: Wild Rift, Clash of Clans, Soul Knight, and Subway Surfers. As a result, users can expect smooth and consistent performance across major games.
The Dimensity 9500 brings a Mali-G1 Ultra GPU with 12 cores. It claims to more than double ray tracing output. Overall performance improves by 33% compared to the previous generation. Meanwhile, the octa-core CPU gains a 32% boost in single-core tasks, powered by the ARM C1-Ultra core.
In real-world use, the phone handles demanding games well. It can run Delta Force at 165fps for three hours without performance drops. During this time, average power use stays at 4.6W. This shows strong efficiency for long gaming sessions.
Battery life also stands out. The device packs an 8,600mAh dual-cell battery, which is the second-largest in a OnePlus phone. It supports up to 7.4 hours of gaming at 165fps. For navigation, it can last up to 13.6 hours. The battery is rated to remain reliable for 5 years.
Charging is fast and flexible. The phone supports bypass charging, which reduces heat during gameplay. It also includes 120W fast charging. The battery reaches 53% in 20 minutes and 100% in 49 minutes.
On the front, the device features a 6.78-inch OLED display from BOE. It has a resolution of 1,272 x 2,772 pixels. The panel supports 10-bit color, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and 100% DCI-P3 coverage. Brightness peaks at 3,600 nits at 25% APL. For eye comfort, it uses DC dimming above 70 nits and high-frequency PWM dimming below 70 nits.
The optional gaming controller adds more functionality. It includes four back buttons with a 1.8ms response time. However, it does not offer joysticks or face buttons. Instead, it focuses on utility. It adds a stronger antenna, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a USB-C charging port. It also supports a magnetic cooling fan attachment. The controller features a retractable design, so it can work with other phones.
Camera hardware remains solid. The rear setup includes a 50MP main sensor with a 1/1.55-inch size and an f/1.8 lens with OIS. There is also an 8MP ultra-wide camera with an f/2.2 16mm lens. On the front, the device uses a 16MP camera with a 23mm focal length. Video recording reaches 4K at 60fps on the rear. The front camera supports 1080p at 30fps.
The build quality feels premium. The frame uses aluminum alloy, while the display has tempered glass protection. The rear panel varies by color. The Ace Awakening version uses tempered glass, while the Metal Storm option uses standard glass.
Audio and haptics also get attention. The phone includes symmetrical stereo speakers and an X-axis linear motor. An ultrasonic fingerprint sensor sits under the display. The USB-C port supports USB 2.0 only, so video output is not available.
Durability is another highlight. The phone carries IP66, IP68, and IP69K ratings. This means it can handle splashes, submersion, and even hot water jets.
The OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra is now available in China. Buyers get a CNY 300 discount across all variants. The gaming controller is available for pre-order at CNY 450, which equals $65.
