On Weibo, OnePlus teased that it has created a &#8220;lightweight&#8221; gamepad for the Ace 6 Ultra that turns the device into a handheld console (sort of). Immediately, the company claims that this case creates the \u201cultimate FPS shooting experience\u201d for the phone.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" id=\"elk-seasonal\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\/><\/p>\n<aside data-block-type=\"embed\" data-render-type=\"fte\" data-skip=\"dealsy\" data-widget-type=\"seasonal\" class=\"hawk-root\"\/>\n<p id=\"elk-0ef5efef-edee-46cb-ba82-f5ee5573b5da-2\">This handheld gaming console &#8220;case&#8221; has four buttons: R1, R2, L1, L2 (it&#8217;s the same, but it&#8217;s not a PlayStation). There are four customizable buttons that users can equip with different functions in the games they play. While you still need to use your thumb for running and camera movement, these external buttons can be used for shooting, abilities, and more.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"article-continues-below block py-2 text-sm\">Article continues below <default:svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"inline-block w-2.5 h-2.5 ml-2\" fill=\"currentColor\" preserveaspectratio=\"xMidYMid meet\" viewbox=\"0 0 1000 1000\"><default:path d=\"M1000 100L500 900 0 100h1000z\"\/><\/default:svg><\/span><\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet=\"\" class=\"clear-both pb-0 pt-2 mb-4\">\n        <span class=\"&#10;            flex&#10;            after:content-('') after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-(0.7rem) after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-(#ccc)&#10;            before:content-('') before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-(0.7rem) before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-(#ccc)&#10;            font-article-heading pb-0 !text-base uppercase sm:text-sm font-bold&#10;        \"><\/p>\n<p>            you may like<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>A <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/m.weibo.cn\/detail\/5289823231282004\" data-url=\"https:\/\/m.weibo.cn\/detail\/5289823231282004\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\">Teaser video shows<\/a> The case is quite sensitive to user input, as it boasts very low input lag between ADS (aiming downwards) and firing. Furthermore, OnePlus states that users just have to mount the case, slot the phone in, and they are ready to go. It adds that the control scheme is &#8220;closer to the PC version&#8221;, as it tries to bridge the gap between the handheld experience and a faster PC gaming session.<\/p>\n<p>An image shows that users can also add a OnePlus cooling fan to the handheld case. According to the publication, the OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra is reportedly set to debut overseas on April 28 with a 6.7-inch 1.5K display, 8,600mAh battery, and 165W charging.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"it-s-always-a-good-time-to-game-3\">It&#8217;s always a good time for sports<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\" id=\"elk-11980497-49f5-4b23-931f-fff958a5a1df\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:445px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:134.83%;\"> <picture data-new-v2-image=\"true\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/FrFWDKXLLJncShmqiSdGCE-445-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/FrFWDKXLLJncShmqiSdGCE-445-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/FrFWDKXLLJncShmqiSdGCE-445-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/FrFWDKXLLJncShmqiSdGCE-445-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/FrFWDKXLLJncShmqiSdGCE-445-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/FrFWDKXLLJncShmqiSdGCE-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\"\/><\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: OnePlus\/Weibo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"elk-b3ceb085-dd7a-4512-aba3-fa37a8db998a\">It&#8217;s not that mobile gaming is a new focus for OnePlus. Over the years, it has made a consistent effort to implement meaningful upgrades that can benefit users who enjoy graphical and performance-heavy games like Genshin Impact, Wuthering Waves, and others. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/phones\/oneplus\/oneplus-quietly-launched-two-new-ace-5-series-phones-and-they-look-spectacular\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/phones\/oneplus\/oneplus-quietly-launched-two-new-ace-5-series-phones-and-they-look-spectacular\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/phones\/oneplus\/oneplus-quietly-launched-two-new-ace-5-series-phones-and-they-look-spectacular\">The Ace 5 Ultra was launched around this time last year (in May) with a specific focus on games. The phone features what the company calls an &#8220;esports triple-chip.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This fancy word was the umbrella under which sat the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 Plus SoC, the Lingxi touch-control chip, and the G1 Wi-Fi chip. This year&#8217;s edition, the Ace 6 Ultra, is said to feature the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 SoC, equipped with a 33% faster GPU, 120 FPS capabilities, and raytracing for a PC-like graphical experience.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-E6rKtUY5mxmzh29iJXHxw5\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-E6rKtUY5mxmzh29iJXHxw5 slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__top-bar\"\/>\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__main-section\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">Get the latest news from Android Central, your trusted partner in the world of Android<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr id=\"elk-66c485f5-1c22-49cf-be3f-a56d7cbbff79\"\/><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" id=\"elk-e44011d6-cd12-4232-9e92-cad4d9fe6a07\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"android-central-s-take-3\">Android Central&#8217;s Tech<\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-88e587cb-f7f2-4aea-8239-14ee4655ae9f\">I like this. I think this is really great. I play games on my phone that have a lot of controls; Nothing too crazy, and I definitely keep the shooter for my PC or console. But I know how popular other shooters are on phones, and this could come in handy. Even for other games, such as those that are more combat focused, it can be used.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What you need to know OnePlus wants mobile gamers to feel at home with the Ace 6 Ultra, as its teaser shows off a case resembling a handheld console.
