In a post on Weibo, the Chinese social media platform, the company has announced that the OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra will be launched in China on April 28 at 7 pm local time (4:30 pm IST).

On the front, the in-game navigation and camera pan controls will remain on the phone, as it will not feature dedicated joysticks.

Additionally, the OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra is now available for pre-order via the Oppo China online store. However, the listing does not reveal any other details about the upcoming phone.

The phone will be offered in at least a black colour option, with a “3D stereoscopic engraving” on the back.
