As expected, OnePlus officially lifted the covers off the OnePlus Ace in China today. The same phone will arrive in India as the OnePlus 10R next week. And those of you who keep a close tab on smartphone launches may even feel that you have seen this design before. That's because the OnePlus Ace is essentially a rebranded version of the Realme GT Neo 3 with a different paint job.

The OnePlus Ace carries forward the legacy of OPPO's Reno Ace line, combining a premium design and powerful hardware in an affordable package. It has a distinct textured design, with one side featuring stripes and the other side having a clean look. On the front, the OnePlus Ace sports a 6.7-inch FHD+ OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 950nits peak brightness. Under the hood, the phone is powered by MediaTek's Dimensity 8100-MAX chipset, paired with either 8GB or 12GB RAM and 128GB/256GB/512GB UFS 3.1 flash storage.

There's a triple camera system on the back, featuring a 50MP Sony IMX766 main shooter with OIS support, an 8MP ultra-wide camera, and a 2MP macro lens. A 4,500mAh battery keeps the show running and supports fast charging via the included 150W Super Flash charger. The OnePlus Ace comes equipped with a customized "supercystaline" graphite sheet for improved heat dissipation. On the software side, the phone runs ColorOS 12.1 (thanks OPPO/OnePlus merger) based on Android 12.

Other notable highlights include dual stereo speakers, NFC, Bluetooth 5.2, an in-display fingerprint reader, 5G support, and Wi-Fi 6. The OnePlus Ace missed out on the signature alert slider, which has remained an integral part of the OnePlus flagships.
