Information has surfaced that OnePlus is working on a new compact smartphone that will feature a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor.

Here's What We Know

According to the leak, the device will get a 6.3-inch screen with 1.5K resolution and a 50 MP main camera with Sony IMX906 sensor. Unlike some competitors, the smartphone will not have a periscopic camera and the design of the camera module will be horizontal, reminiscent of Google's Pixel devices. The prototype features an optical under-screen fingerprint scanner, but the company is also considering an ultrasonic scanner.

The new smartphone is expected to be part of the Ace 5 series, possibly under the name Ace 5 mini or Ace 5 Pro mini. The launch of the device is probably just around the corner and it will compete with the likes of the iPhone 16 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro and Xiaomi 15.
