OnePlus Ace 6 Pro Max Leak: First Snapdragon 8 Gen 5?

3 Minutes

A fresh retail box image appears to confirm OnePlus is tipping a new performance flagship: the OnePlus Ace 6 Pro Max. The leaked packaging hints at Pro Max branding and raises the possibility that OnePlus could deliver the world's first Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 phone.

Retail box leak signals Pro Max push

Images circulating online show a retail box marked OnePlus Ace 6 Pro Max. The name implies a step up from the Snapdragon 8 Elite–powered Ace 6 that launched in China last month. Pro Max badging has become a popular way for brands to signal extra performance and premium features, and OnePlus now looks set to follow that trend.

Is this the first Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 device?

OnePlus previously said it would be the first brand to launch a phone powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset. That claim, combined with the Ace 6 Pro Max leak, makes it likely the new model could debut as the first commercial Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 handset — at least in China.

Competition is tight: reports also point to a Vivo S50 Pro Mini launching later this month with the same chip. If OnePlus sticks to its timing, the Ace 6 Pro Max might still edge out rivals and land before month end.

What the specs leak suggests

The Pro Max could actually be the same device that recent rumors call the Ace 6 Turbo. Tipsters claim the phone will focus on gaming and endurance rather than just flagship camera tricks. Key rumored specs include:

  • 6.7-inch OLED display with 1.5K resolution and 165Hz refresh rate
  • Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 SoC for peak performance
  • Massive 8,000mAh battery with 100W wired charging
  • 32MP front camera plus a 50MP main sensor with OIS and an 8MP ultra-wide
  • ColorOS 16 based on Android 16, dual stereo speakers, x-axis linear motor
  • Ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint, NFC and a metal middle frame; around 216 grams
  • Color options reportedly Flash Black, Electric Purple, Glimpse Green and a special edition

Those specs point to a handset built for long gaming sessions and heavy multitasking — the huge battery capacity and high refresh rate display stand out as evidence.

Global rollout and possible rebranding

Insiders suggest OnePlus plans an India launch before year end, where the Ace 6 Pro Max could be rebranded as the OnePlus 15R. That would follow OnePlus's recent practice of renaming China-specific Ace models for other markets.

For now, the retail box leak adds weight to earlier rumors. If OnePlus does unveil the Ace 6 Pro Max as its Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 debut, it could kick off a new wave of performance-focused flagships heading into the holiday season.
