The OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra was already shaping up to be a phone for people who take mobile gaming more seriously than most of us do our actual responsibilities. OnePlus has shown how the phone can come closer to a handheld console by slotting in a controller, but that really only works as a pitch if the device can last more than a few rounds. Any such concerns may be allayed to some extent, as the company has now confirmed that the Ace 6 Ultra will have an 8,600mAh battery, 120W charging, and an IP69K rating.
OnePlus revealed the latest specifications in a series of Weibo posts (1, 2, 3) ahead of the phone’s launch in China on April 28 at 7pm local time. We’ve already seen the company tease the gaming focus of the Ace 6 Ultra, including a 165Hz BOE display and an attachable gamepad, but these new details fill in some of the more practical parts of the package.
On the battery, OnePlus says the Ace 6 Ultra’s 8,600mAh cell can deliver up to seven hours of continuous gameplay at full frame rate. The company also claims that its 120W SuperVOOC charging can add two hours of gameplay in a ten-minute charge. This charging figure is even more encouraging, as earlier leaks suggested the phone could top out at 100W.
The company says the Ace 6 Ultra is one of the first phones to feature Oppo’s Glacier Battery “Energy Concentration Chip”, which it claims can help with battery life, performance at low battery levels, and longer lifespan. OnePlus also says the chip provides 200mAh more battery life at normal temperatures, or 700mAh more battery life in extreme cold at -20 degrees Celsius, compared to phones without it.

There are some other good glimpses in the latest teaser as well. OnePlus says that the Ace 6 Ultra will include 3D ultrasonic fingerprint unlocking, dual symmetrical speakers, and Oppo Crystal Shield glass, which the company claims improves drop and scratch resistance. The phone is also advertised as IP69K protected, which is possibly the highest water-resistance rating on a phone currently.
The Ace 6 Ultra still appears to be the first launch in China, and OnePlus hasn’t said whether this exact model will be coming to global markets. Ace phones may leave China under different branding, as we saw with the Ace 6T becoming the OnePlus 15R, but there’s no confirmation yet if the Ace 6 Ultra will follow suit.
