The schematics for the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro were leaked online a few days ago. Recently, the phone received 3C certification at the end of last month. Rumors now suggest that it will feature a ceramic back and a metal middle frame.
OnePlus Ace 3 Pro's New Materials
Well-known tipster Digital Chat Station shared this information in a Weibo post. Another rumor on the platform indicated that many new devices in 2024 will use this new material. According to DCS, OnePlus plans to use a hot forging process for the ceramic back plate, which he mentioned will be white. Though, it might not be a pure white but a different shade.
The inspiration for using ceramic reportedly comes from the ceramic version of the Bugatti Veyron. DCS also noted that the ceramic back plate will have a unique texture.
DCS has pointed out that this phone will be the first to feature a metal middle frame combined with a ceramic back plate.
Ceramic Build Details
Ceramic is generally heavier than glass, so the phone might be slightly heavier. The new material is also more costly than glass, which could make the ceramic version more expensive. However, it's important to note that this is still a rumor, and the company might cancel the ceramic plans.
Internal Specifications
Internally, the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, last year’s flagship chipset from Qualcomm. It may feature a triple camera setup on the back with 50MP + 8MP + 2MP sensors and a 16MP front camera. The display could be a 6.78-inch BOE 8T LTPO screen with a 1.5K resolution.
A previous rumor suggested that the phone would have a massive 6100mAh battery and support 100W wired fast charging.
