OnePlus Set to Launch a New Smartphone Series Focused on Gamers
OnePlus is reportedly developing a new smartphone series tailored specifically for mobile gamers, featuring flagship chips, gaming triggers, and immersive gaming-centric features.
New Gaming-Centric Series in Development
OnePlus is preparing to launch a new smartphone series aimed at gamers, as revealed by a recent leak from tipster @heyitsyogesh on X. This new series is expected to include top-tier hardware, likely utilizing Qualcomm’s or MediaTek’s latest flagship chipsets, paired with large batteries that are ideal for prolonged gaming sessions.
- The new series is anticipated to be more gaming-focused than the current Ace series, with built-in shoulder triggers—a feature already found on gaming phones like the Infinix GT 30 Pro and Nubia RedMagic series.
- Custom cooling systems and high-refresh-rate AMOLED displays are also part of the speculation, aimed at providing a seamless and immersive mobile gaming experience.
What Makes This Series Different?
Unlike OnePlus’s other performance-oriented smartphones, this upcoming gaming series will likely feature:
- Shoulder triggers for enhanced gaming control.
- A focus on extended battery life, a key feature for gamers who require long-lasting power for intensive gaming sessions.
- Flagship chipsets from Qualcomm or MediaTek to ensure top-notch performance in demanding titles.
This series aims to set itself apart by introducing features that are specifically tailored for gamers, providing an experience that enhances both performance and control.
China-Exclusive Launch for Now
While the series is still in the research and development phase, it is expected to launch first in China, following the company’s tradition of testing experimental devices domestically before considering a global rollout. The phones are likely to compete with gaming flagships such as the RedMagic 10 Pro and Asus ROG Phone 9 Pro, sitting above the Nord series in terms of performance and pricing.
Software Tweaks for Gamers
In line with the new series, OxygenOS 16 is also in the works, which is expected to bring software tweaks and possibly a new design language optimized for gaming use, further enhancing the experience.
Pricing and Availability
- Pricing and model names haven’t been leaked yet, but the new series will likely be priced above the Nord series, targeting the high-end gaming market.
- While it’s unclear if the series will see a global release, OnePlus has previously adjusted its strategy based on demand, so a global launch could be a possibility if the series gains traction.
