what you should Know

  • OnePlus Ace landed in China.
  • It uses the same Dimensity 8100 Max chipset as the upcoming OnePlus 10R.
  • OnePlus sells the phone for 2499 yuan, but there is no information on global release.

OnePlus obviously has a lot of smartphones on the horizon, and before the announcements of the OnePlus 10R and Nord CE 2 Lite, the company introduced a new budget device in China.

OnePlus Ace made its debut in the country, although it does not offer many surprises under the hood. This is because the device has been redesigned Realme GT Neo3 with a new look. Most of its specifications are shared with Realme’s new mid-range, including MediaTek’s Dimensity 8100 Max chipset and a 4500 mAh battery with 150W fast charging support.

The main selling points of the phone are its processor and the ability to charge quickly. OnePlus claims that its battery can charge up to 50% in 5 minutes and maintain 80% battery life even after 1600 power cycles or 4 years.

OnePlus did not say what distinguishes this version of the 5nm-based Dimensity 8100 from the standard model, but it will probably include improved AI and gaming performance, which makes it a worthy contender for the best budget phones with Android. The processor is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 3.1 storage.

It also has a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen with a refresh rate of 120Hz and HDR10 + support for accurate color.

In case you’re wondering, almost all of the specs listed above will be available with the OnePlus 10R when it launches in India on April 28th. This means that the OnePlus Ace is essentially a Chinese version of the upcoming middle ranger with a different name.

It runs on ColorOS 12.1, based on Android 12. The rest of the specs are also something you’ve probably seen before. At the back you will find a 50MP main sensor with OIS. This is a Sony IMX766 sensor, supported by an 8MP ultra-wide sensor and a 2MP macro camera.

OnePlus Ace costs 2,499 yuan, or approximately $ 386. It is available in black and blue, but is unlikely to be available in markets other than China and India.
