Gone are those years in which OnePlus maintained a single line of devices, as the company has been expanding its catalog on different sides. The mid-range and low-end OnePlus Nords were the first, but a new family is coming home soon. That’s right, it’s about OnePlus Ace, the new series of phones that will launch this month and that drives the leakers a little crazy.
The Ace will be the “affordable” high-end of OnePlus, although they use a borrowed name
According to different rumors, from April 21 OnePlus will launch a new family of phones, the OnePlus Ace. This new line would fill the gap between the mid-range OnePlus Nord and the premium range numbered series (such as the OnePlus 10 Pro).
Therefore, we would be talking about high-end mobiles with very good features , high-level hardware, but without cutting-edge technology that triggers prices. Besides, the same company confirmed an additional fact: they will pay special attention to design, focusing on textures to give their devices a premium finish . Come on, something like the Realme GT Master, but more powerful (at the level of the GT Neo).
Regarding the name, the name “Ace” may sound like something to you and it is that it has already been used on a couple of occasions by OPPO . The sister company of OnePlus launched the Reno Ace (2019) and Reno Ace 2 (2020), two fascinating devices that only arrived in China, but then disappeared from the map.
The Reno Aces have a lot in common with OnePlus’ approach to its new family, so the name loan seems well justified . In addition, the line that differentiates OnePlus and OPPO is becoming more blurred every day, so there is no greater surprise. By the way, we speak in the plural because OnePlus assured that there will be more models of this family in the future.
The specifications of the OnePlus Ace have already been leaked, it will be a great mobile
Thanks to different media and leakers, we already know practically all the details about the new OnePlus Ace. In principle, it will be a renamed version of the Realme GT Neo 3, although with certain changes in its design to give it that “premium” touch that OnePlus is talking about.
Your key points? MediaTek Dimensity 8100 processor (with an average of 815,000 points in AnTuTu), a super AMOLED E4 120 Hz screen and a beastly 150 W fast charge. In short, a mobile cucumber that would shake the market if it reaches a good price . Why do we say this? Because the plus of incorporating OxygenOS (or HydrogenOS) could take it to a higher level than Realme in performance. Here we leave you all the filtered characteristics of this device:
- 6.7-inch AMOLED E4 screen with Full HD + resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate and HDR10 +.
- MediaTek Dimensity 8100 octa -core processor with Mali-G610 MC6 graphics.
- 8 / 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128 / 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage.
- Triple rear camera of 50 MP + 8 MP + 2 MP. 16 MP front camera.
- 4500 mAh battery with 150 W fast charge .
- Android 12 operating system under OxygenOS 12 / HydrogenOS 12.
- Dual-band WiFi 6, dual-SIM 5G, GPS, USC-C, Bluetooth 5.1, Hi-Res audio, stereo speakers, NFC, and more.
Now, after reading these specifications, a new question may arise: isn’t this the same OnePlus 10R that we talked about a few days ago? Yes and no…
The OnePlus Ace and OnePlus 10R will be different, although very similar. When will they be released?
When we mention that OnePlus drives leakers a little crazy, we say it because there is too much noise around the new OnePlus Ace and OnePlus 10R. Until now, everyone assumed that they would be the same device for different markets, since the leaked specifications are identical.
However, the latest data leaked on Twitter by @stufflistings and @heyitsyogesh suggest that this will not be the case, as India will receive both models. So what will be the difference? As far as is known, the OnePlus Ace will be a version with some software improvements compared to the OnePlus 10R, the same in terms of design, but there are no further details. Will the OnePlus Ace launch in India with HydrogenOS? We will have to wait for the following dates to find out:
- On April 21, the OnePlus Ace will be launched in China.
- On April 28, the OnePlus Ace, OnePlus 10R and Nord CE 2 Lite 5G will be launched in India.
