The tipster also claims that the OnePlus Ace 6 lineup will be equipped with Snapdragon 8 series "performance" chips from Qualcomm. The OnePlus Ace 6 Pro is expected to feature a more capable chip than the standard model, but there's no word from the tipster on whether this will be the current generation Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, or its successor, which is expected to arrive in September.

OnePlus could also equip its upcoming midrange handsets with a few other notable hardware upgrades, according to Digital Chat Station. These include a metal middle frame, and an ultrasonic fingerprint reader instead of an optical fingerprint scanner.

The rumoured OnePlus Ace 6 series is also expected to arrive with a larger battery. Last year, a report claimed that the OnePlus Ace 6 or OnePlus Ace 6 Pro will be equipped with a 7,000mAh battery.

According to the leaker, the OnePlus Ace 6 series could also have an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, but claims that this certification is currently pending. 

These handsets are expected to arrive in the coming months as the successor to the OnePlus Ace 5 lineup, which was launched in China. The company might introduce rebranded versions of these handsets in other regions, as the Ace series is usually limited to the Chinese market.
