OnePlus May Launch the OnePlus 15 and Ace 6 Together This October — Ace 6 Pro May Be Dropped

OnePlus may be preparing a shift in its launch strategy for late 2025.

According to a new leak, the company is likely to unveil both its flagship OnePlus 15 and the Ace 6 lineup simultaneously in October in China—an earlier timeline than expected for the Ace series.

Change in OnePlus's Year-End Playbook

Historically, OnePlus follows a staggered release cycle: flagship phones debut in October, while its Ace-branded sub-flagship devices typically launch a few months later. In 2024, for instance, the OnePlus 13 was released in October, followed by the Ace 5 and Ace 5 Pro in December.

However, a recent leak by tipster Digital Chat Station suggests that the OnePlus 15 and Ace 6 could launch together in October 2025. This may indicate that the Ace 6 Pro, which would normally complete the trio, may be delayed or skipped altogether.

The coordinated launch could position OnePlus to compete directly with Redmi’s upcoming K90 series, which is also expected to arrive in the same window.

OnePlus 15: What to Expect

Rumors around the OnePlus 15 point to a premium flagship with notable upgrades. The device is expected to feature:

• 6.78-inch flat OLED LTPO 2K display
• Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 processor
• 7,000mAh+ battery
• 100W wired and wireless charging
• Ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor
• IP68/IP69 rating for dust and water resistance
• Slim bezels and a metal middle frame

Additional features may include a tactile 0916 x-axis vibration motor and a side-mounted “Plus Key” for customizable actions.

Ace 6: Sub-Flagship with High-End Specs

The OnePlus Ace 6, while expected to be more affordable, could still pack strong hardware:

• 6.83-inch flat OLED screen with 1.5K resolution
• 165Hz refresh rate
• Snapdragon 8-series chipset (exact model unknown)
• Ultrasonic fingerprint sensor
• IP68 rating
• Large 7,800mAh battery
• Metal middle frame

These specs suggest the Ace 6 could appeal to power users who don’t necessarily need all the premium features of the OnePlus 15 but still want flagship-tier performance.

No Ace 6 Pro?

While earlier reports expected three devices—OnePlus 15, Ace 6, and Ace 6 Pro—the new leak hints that the Ace 6 Pro may be excluded this year.

It’s unclear whether this is due to strategic streamlining or product overlap with the base Ace 6 and OnePlus 15. OnePlus has not commented on this, and the final lineup remains unconfirmed.

Looking Ahead to 2026

In addition to the October launch, OnePlus is reportedly planning to introduce a OnePlus 15T in the first quarter of 2026. Positioned as a compact flagship, the 15T could cater to users seeking a smaller form factor without compromising on specs.
