Third-party reviews

What we like about OnePlus Ace 5 (16GB + 1TB)

  • High-end gaming performance powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset
  • Exceptional battery life from a 6,400mAh+ Silicon-Carbon battery, often lasting over two days
  • Blazing-fast 80W wired charging that can fully charge the device in under 40 minutes
  • Premium 1.5K flat AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate and high peak brightness
  • Advanced cooling systems that maintain stability during intensive tasks like 'Genshin Impact'
  • Good value for money, offering flagship-tier core specs at a mid-range price

What we don't like about OnePlus Ace 5 (16GB + 1TB)

  • Mediocre secondary cameras; the 8MP ultrawide and 2MP macro lenses underperform compared to the main sensor
  • Lacks premium features like wireless charging and an official IP68 rating (typically IP65)
  • Software limitations for global users due to its 'China ROM' origin, including some untranslated UI and pre-installed bloatware
  • No expandable storage via microSD and no 3.5mm headphone jack
  • Reported issues with NFC functionality and Google Wallet transactions in some international regions
  • Plastic frame and lack of the signature OnePlus alert slider on some variants like the Racing Edition

Verdict

The OnePlus Ace 5 (16GB + 1TB) is a high-performance, China-exclusive smartphone (also known as the OnePlus 13R in global markets) featuring a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and a massive 1TB of UFS 4.0 internal storage. Key specs include a 6.78-inch 1.5K LTPO AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 4500 nits peak brightness, a substantial 6415mAh silicon-carbon battery with 80W fast charging, and an IP65 rating for dust and water resistance. A triple rear camera setup, headlined by a 50MP main sensor with OIS, handles photography. Main pros are its flagship-level performance, excellent battery life, stunningly bright display, and huge storage capacity, while typical cons for global users often involve the China-specific ColorOS software, which may lack full Google service integration and result in delayed notifications outside of its intended region.
