OnePlus is gearing up to introduce the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro, an affordable flagship smartphone, to the Chinese market. A standout feature of this device is its "glacier battery," developed in collaboration with CATL. According to tipster Digital Chat Station, this battery uses new silicon-carbon anode materials, enabling the Ace 3 Pro to house a larger battery without significantly adding to its thickness. In recent Weibo posts, the tipster provided additional details about the device, including its expected price.
OnePlus Ace 3 Pro Key Features
Digital Chat Station (DCS) has shared that the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro will boast a ceramic body and a substantial 6100mAh battery. Despite its large battery capacity, the Ace 3 Pro will maintain a slim profile with a thickness of approximately 8.x mm. Similar to its predecessor, it will support 100W fast charging, allowing it to reach a full charge in just 30 minutes.
Advanced Gaming Technology
DCS also mentioned that the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro will be equipped with cutting-edge technology to enhance the performance of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. This will result in significantly improved gaming visuals and a completely new gaming experience, particularly through a substantial boost in GPU performance.
Memory and Pricing
The tipster noted that OnePlus is prompting its competitors to release smartphones with higher memory capacities. They are phasing out 8 GB of RAM in the 3000 Yuan ($415) price range and introducing 24 GB of RAM in the 4000 Yuan ($550) range. Although OnePlus is leading in market share for devices with ultra-large memory, rising supply chain costs present some challenges. The top-tier variant of the Ace 3 Pro is expected to feature 24 GB of RAM and a hot-forged ceramic body, potentially pricing this model above 4,000 Yuan.
Additional Specifications
Reports indicate that the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro will come with a 6.78-inch AMOLED display, offering a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The device will include up to 1 TB of UFS 4.0 storage, a 16-megapixel front camera, and a triple camera setup comprising a 50-megapixel (OIS), an 8-megapixel (ultra-wide), and a 2-megapixel (macro) sensor. It will feature a metal middle frame and will be available in leather and glass back options.
