The OnePlus Ace 6T has been one of the most hyped smartphones of the year, with its bold design language, striking color options, and a large 8,000mAh battery—the biggest ever on any OnePlus device. Weeks before the China launch, the company has started teasing design elements, finishes, and special features, together with a few standout hardware upgrades that set the Ace 6T apart from other performance-focused phones.
A Premium Yet Practical Design
So, OnePlus has refined this with the Ace 6T by considering not just style but also ergonomics. The phone boasts a flat metal frame that does give it a flagship-grade feel every time you hold it, while its ultra-narrow bezels deliver an immersive viewing experience. The rear panel is provided in two types of finishes-a silk glass coating designed to resist fingerprints and a fiberglass texture that makes for both added grip and an eye-catching reflective pattern.
The square-shaped camera module draws inspiration from the OnePlus 15 series, giving the Ace 6T its bold identity. Another key highlight is the new multi-function “Plus Key” replacing the traditional alert slider. This customizable shortcut is able to trigger the torch, camera, silent mode, screen recording, and more-giving users far more control compared to the legacy slider.
OnePlus also confirms the inclusion of an IR blaster, which is quite a handy addition, turning the phone into a universal remote. On a phone with such a huge battery, OnePlus claims it has engineered a 50:50 weight balance to prevent top-heaviness and ensure a comfortable feel in the hand.
Stylish New Colour Choices
Ahead of its launch, OnePlus showed off the Ace 6T in three visually different colourways:
- Flash Black – a clean, glossy classic featuring a silk glass finish
- Shadow/Phantom Green – a soft, premium pastel tone
- Electric Purple-a color that is bright with a fiberglass-based finish
There are also rumors of a Genshin Impact Special Edition, which makes some sense considering OnePlus‘ expanding relationship with gaming brands and pop-culture franchises.

Given the size of the battery, OnePlus has nevertheless optimized the internal structure to keep it well-balanced and comfortable.
