OnePlus and Oppo combine their workforce and many of the philosophies that the company previously echoed in the last year. OnePlus abandoned their Never Settle motto, to follow some of the standards that Oppo imposed because they were considered more established.
This year, OnePlus again adopted Oppo's rebranding policy. If there used to be an Oppo smartphone with the Reno Ace series, now it is also used by OnePlus. They will introduce the OnePlus Ace on April 21 in China. Apparently, this device is a rebranding of the Reklame GT Neo 3. Meanwhile, the OnePlus 10R will be available from April 28 along with the rebranded OnePlus CE 2 Lite.
After much speculation and official teasers, OnePlus has finally scheduled the launch for their next smartphone. The company confirmed via its Weibo account, which said that the OnePlus Ace smartphone will be unveiled next week, April 21, 2022.
Previously OnePlus had shared a teaser of the smartphone's triple camera setup. It offers a square camera module with a large camera at the top, and two smaller ones at the bottom side by side. This design aligns with the recently announced Realme GT Neo 3.
However, it is hoped that OnePlus will present a number of differentiators in terms of color. And from the existing teaser, this smartphone will have black and silver colors. Software is no different, with Color OS 12.1, as is the case with most OnePlus smartphones marketed in China.
The teaser revealed by the company also confirms the presence of an infrared sensor on the top, and a USB Type-C port on the bottom. Unfortunately, the teaser does not confirm the details of the screen used. However, we can assume it is a 6.7-inch panel with a punch-hole at the top center of the screen.
In addition, it is believed that the panel used is AMOLED with a Full HD Plus resolution and a refresh rate of 120Hz. The triple camera setup on the device consists of a 50MP camera with a Sony IMX766 lens, an 8MP ultra-wide camera and a 2MP macro camera.
The battery used is 4,500mAh capacity with 80W fast charging. On the inside, it is expected to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8100 chipset.
