OnePlus is getting ready to launch the OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra, a new smartphone aimed at mobile gamers, along with a dedicated gaming controller that can turn the device into a handheld-style console.
The company has confirmed that both products will be introduced in China on April 28.
The highlight of the launch is the new gaming controller, which is designed to attach to the phone for a more immersive gaming experience. It includes physical buttons, shoulder triggers and side grips, giving users better control than standard touchscreen gaming.
The accessory is expected to appeal to players of fast-paced shooting, racing and action games, where quick response times and physical controls can make a big difference.
OnePlus has also designed the controller to support extra cooling accessories, helping reduce heat during long gaming sessions. This is especially useful for users who spend extended time playing graphics-heavy games.
The Ace 6 Ultra itself is expected to come with powerful hardware. Reports suggest the phone may feature a high refresh rate OLED display, a flagship-level processor and a large battery for longer gameplay and everyday use.
These features indicate that OnePlus is positioning the device as a serious option for gaming enthusiasts, while still offering the benefits of a regular smartphone.
The launch reflects a wider trend in the mobile industry, where brands are increasingly focusing on gaming performance. As smartphone processors become more powerful, companies are trying to turn phones into all-in-one entertainment devices.
Instead of buying a separate gaming handheld, users may soon be able to use their phones for both communication and console-style gaming.
The target audience for OnePlus are younger consumers and competitive mobile gamers, especially in markets where esports and online gaming continue to grow rapidly.
So far, the company has only announced the launch for China, and there is no confirmation yet on global availability.
