Imagine you’re rushing to catch a train. Your phone is at 10 % and you’ve got 15 minutes. With current fast chargers that might get you to 40–50 %. But what if you could go from 10 % to 70 % in that time? That’s the promise behind the rumored OnePlus Ace 6 and its charging upgrade.
In India, battery life and charging speed matter more than nearly anything else. With power cuts, long commutes, and all-day usage, even small gains feel like big wins. In this piece, you’ll get the latest leaks about the Ace 6’s battery and charging, a full expected specs sheet, launch timing for India, and a side-by-side with the OnePlus 13R so you see what changes truly matter.
What we know so far: OnePlus Ace 6 leaks & rumors
Battery & charging
- One source (GizmoChina) claims the Ace 6 will use a 7,800 mAh battery and support 80 W SUPERVOOC fast charging.
- Another leak (Gizbot) says “100 W Quick charging” is in the works.
- For a variant “Ace 6 Ultra,” Smartprix lists a 7,000 mAh battery with 100 W SUPERVOOC charging.

The inconsistency in numbers is normal this early. But two things seem likely: the Ace 6 will push both battery capacity and charging wattage upward, compared to its predecessors.
Other expected specs
- Support for reverse charging (probably ~10 W) is being mentioned in leaks.
- Wireless charging hasn’t been strongly confirmed yet in leaks.
- The Ace series in China has historically used MediaTek Dimensity or high-end chips (depending on model).
- Design-wise, recent rumors hint at triple 50 MP cameras (main + ultra-wide + telephoto) for upcoming OnePlus phones.
So, while not everything is locked, the trend is clear: more battery, faster wired charging, perhaps reverse charging.
India launch outlook & pricing
- OnePlus has been aggressive in bringing premium mid/high-end models to India quickly.
- The 13R itself launched for India in early January 2025.
- Given that, Ace 6 might land mid to late 2025 in India. It’s unlikely to wait too long given competition.
As for pricing:
- The 13R’s base variant in India is priced at ₹39,999 (12 GB + 256 GB).
- To position Ace 6 as a next-level (but not ultra-premium) model, OnePlus may aim somewhere between ₹45,000–₹55,000, depending on storage and features.
- Of course, final price will depend on taxes, import costs (if parts come from outside) and competition from brands like Xiaomi, Samsung, Realme, iQOO.
In short: expect 2025 India launch, possibly in the next 4–8 months, with a price premium over 13R, unless they surprise us.
OnePlus Ace 6 vs OnePlus 13R feature by feature
Let’s compare what Ace 6 might bring versus what 13R offers currently. This helps you see whether waiting makes sense or going for 13R now is smarter.
| Feature | What Ace 6 is rumored to offer | What 13R offers today | What difference it makes to you |
|---|---|---|---|
| Battery | 7,000–7,800 mAh (rumored) | 6,000 mAh (OnePlus 13R) | Bigger battery gives more buffer, especially under heavy use (gaming, video, maps). |
| Wired Charging | 80 W to 100 W (rumored) | 100 W wired charging | If Ace 6 ends up at or above 100 W, charge times will be very competitive. |
| Wireless / Reverse Charging | Reverse charging likely; wireless uncertain | Wireless not heavily promoted; reverse less emphasized | Useful for charging earbuds, watches, etc. |
| Processor & Performance | Unclear yet; likely a high-end chip to match Ace branding | Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 | 13R is already flagship-tier in performance; Ace 6 needs to match or exceed to justify upgrade. |
| Display, Camera, Software | Leaked rumors hint at triple 50 MP setup, modern design | 13R has a solid camera setup with Sony LYT-700 (50 MP), ultra-wide, etc. | If Ace 6 improves camera quality (better sensors, OIS, telephoto), it becomes a stronger competitor. |
| Price & Value | Expected premium over 13R | ₹39,999 (12 GB / 256 GB) | The price difference needs to be justified by features, not just by branding. |

A real-world view
I bought the 13R because for my day-to-day use heavy browsing, video, occasional gaming, and travel the battery holds up well. On a 100 W charger, I often top up 40–50 % in 20 minutes. If Ace 6 gives me 80–100 W and a larger battery, I might see 60–70 % in the same time. That kind of gain is noticeable in real use.
That said, if Ace 6 is merely a battery upgrade without meaningful camera or performance gains, many 13R buyers won’t feel compelled to switch.
What You Should Actually Keep in Mind
- Heat and battery life: Super-fast charging always sounds exciting on paper, but it also means the battery heats up more. If OnePlus doesn’t manage the cooling system properly, long-term battery life might take a small hit. It’s not a deal-breaker, but something to keep in mind if you usually keep your phone plugged in for hours.
- Software updates: OnePlus has improved in this area recently, but it’s still a valid concern. If the Ace 6 doesn’t get the same long-term software support as its flagship siblings, buyers might feel left behind a couple of years later.
- Size and weight: Bigger battery means more hef. The Ace 6 could end up slightly thicker or heavier than the 13R. Not everyone cares,but if you prefer slim, easy-to-hold phones, it’s worth watching out for.
- Price and real-world value: Honestly, the biggest question is what OnePlus will ask for the Ace 6. That price will decide whether it’s worth waiting for or if the 13R already gives you everything you need.. But if the price jumps too much, most people will likely find that the 13R already does everything they need without spending extra.. But if the jump is bigger, you might find that the 13R already covers most of what you need without spending extra. But if they bump it up by ₹10,000 or more, the 13R still makes more sense for most people. It already nails performance, display, and battery life and you won’t really feel a huge upgrade in daily use just for the sake of a newer name.
Recommendation: Should you wait or buy 13R now?
My take:
If you need a phone right now, the 13R is hard to beat. It’s already flagship-level, hanles everything smoothly.
But if you’re a heavy user gaming, streaming, multitasking and don’t mind waiting a few months, the Ace 6 could be worth it. The bigger battery and faster charging might make your daily life easier, especially on long days out.
That said, if the Ace 6 only brings moderate upgrades, like a slightly larger battery or small charging improvements, you might not notice enough difference to justify waiting. Sometimes the 13R will do just fine.
In short: 13R is already strong. Ace 6 has the potential to push things further but whether that potential becomes real advantage depends on how OnePlus delivers.
Conclusion
The OnePlus Ace 6 brings promise: faster charging, a bigger battery, and possibly stronger camera hardware. For users in India, these gains matter in everyday life where plug points may be scarce and usage high. The 13R is already a powerful phone, but Ace 6 could nudge the bar upward.
If I were in your shoes, I’d watch the first real leaks (especially battery and charging tests) before deciding. For now, 13R is more than enough for most. But if Ace 6 nails its claims, it could become one of your best upgrade options in 2025. You should also check out our detailed review of the IQOO 15 Smartphone.
