OnePlus has just launched the Ace 6 Ultra in China. It starts at $555 with a $44 discount for first-time buyers, and the hardware is built with one goal in mind: professional mobile gaming. A two-component 8600 mAh battery, 4000 Hz touch sampling rate, and a dedicated game controller with mechanical triggers with a 1.8 ms response clearly outline the positioning even before you look at the rest of the specs.

Main specifications:
- There are versions up to 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 1 TB of UFS 4.1 storage
- Inside is the Dimensity 9500 (3nm process), Wind Chaser gaming core, and Glacier cooling system. In Delta Force, at maximum settings, it delivers an average of 164.7 fps
- BOE’s 6.78-inch screen: 1.5K AMOLED, 165 Hz. The Lingxi Touch Core function provides instant touch sensing at 4000 Hz. By the way, it has water protection according to four standards – IP66/68/69/69K
- Two-component 8600 mAh battery with 120W SuperVOOC charging is one of the largest batteries among gaming flagships.
- Exclusive Gunfire Gaming controller for $65 – joystickless design, 1.8 ms mechanical trigger response, built-in eSports chip, and magnetic heat sink support.
Most gaming phones rely on shoulder buttons or detachable controllers. OnePlus has built the exclusive peripherals for Ace 6 Ultra around a different philosophy – no joystick. The Gunfire Gaming controller uses an ergonomic grip with physical mechanical triggers on microswitches with a 1.8 ms response time and a dedicated eSports chip for input processing. The controller also supports expansion via magnetic heat sink, which gives the cooling system an external path during prolonged use of the phone.

The Lingxi Touch Core technology delivers a sensor sampling rate of 4000 Hz. This is an absolute record. Conventional flagships operate at 240-360 Hz, gaming models at 1000-2000 Hz. Four thousand means that the screen checks for touch every 0.25 milliseconds. The delay between your finger and the action in the game becomes literally imperceptible. The software stack complements these features: Shooting Display Enhancement for image clarity, Footstep Sound Enhancement for footstep sound positioning, and Shooting Assist Crosshair overlay. These are built-in tools designed specifically for FPS games.
It’s a great engineering feat to squeeze such a capacity into a body that is 8.45 mm thick and weighs 217 grams. The dual-cell design distributes heat better, so the phone doesn’t get too hot under load. Thanks to 120W SuperVOOC charging, this gigantic volume fills up quickly enough not to annoy the owner.

The four-level IP66/68/69/69K certification, along with the active gaming cooling system and stable frame rates in real-world gameplay, confirm that OnePlus is not just embellishing the specs. The smartphone is available in Ace Awakening and Metal Storm colors.
