by There are plenty of OnePlus phones planned for this year, but the next could be among the most exciting, and the company has now confirmed that handset (dubbed the OnePlus Ace) will be fully unveiled on April 21.
This was revealed by the company on Weibo (a Chinese social network), and the announcement included images of the phone, showing a very different design to what we’ve seen from OnePlus before.
Half of the back is striped, while the other half is plain. The sides meanwhile are flat and there’s no alert slider, a handy feature found on many OnePlus phones. We can also see that there is a triple lens camera, with one big lens and two smaller ones.
OnePlus has yet to confirm the specs of the OnePlus Ace, except it does, as the company also recently revealed that the OnePlus 10R will be unveiled in India on April 28, and that phone looks exactly the same, so probably they’re the same handset under different names.
Admittedly, we don’t know much about this phone either, but the company said it supports 5G and comes in two versions – one with 80W charging and one with 150W charging. , the latter being a technology that the company revealed. work some time ago.
For reference, the OnePlus 10 Pro only has 80W charging, so that would be an upgrade.
The rest of the specs might not be, because although they haven’t been revealed yet, previous leaks suggested that the OnePlus Ace would be a rebranded Realme GT Neo 3, and that phone also has those charging powers, so it holds true.
If this is the Neo 3 in all but name, you can expect a 6.7-inch 1080 x 2412 AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate, 5,000mAh battery in the 80 model W or a 4,500 mAh one in the 150 W version, a reasonably fast speed MediaTek Dimensity 8100 chipset, up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of storage.
The Realme GT Neo 3 also has a triple-lens camera, with a 50MP main sensor, 8MP ultrawide (with a 120-degree field of view) and 2MP macro, plus a 16MP snapper at the front.
So those are pretty high-end specs, but it’s only on the charging front that it could beat the OnePlus 10 Pro, although it’s also sure to cost less than that phone. Of course, we’re not entirely sure if the OnePlus Ace is the Realme GT Neo 3, but it seems very likely.
Analysis: will the OnePlus Ace go global?
Since this launch seems to be China-only, we can’t be sure other regions like the US and UK will get the OnePlus Ace, but there’s definitely a chance they will. .
Since India seems to be getting it as the OnePlus 10R, it’s quite possible that other parts of the world will get this phone as well. But probably not until later, as there’s no word of a global launch.
If and when UK and US likes get this phone, it’s more likely to land as the OnePlus Ace than the OnePlus 10R, since the OnePlus 9R was only available in India, and since OnePlus confusingly stated that the OnePlus 10 Pro will be the only OnePlus 10 model – a claim that it now seems could only have applied in the west.
