OnePlus is gearing up to launch its latest high-end smartphone, the Ace 3 Pro, with some impressive specs that push the boundaries of battery technology. Here's what we know so far based on recent leaks:
Groundbreaking Battery Tech
The standout feature appears to be a massive 6,100 mAh battery packed into an ultra-slim 5.51mm package. This Glacier Battery technology, co-developed with CATL, represents a significant advancement over the 5,000 mAh, 6mm battery in the current Ace 2 model. If the leaks prove accurate, the Ace 3 Pro could set a new standard for battery capacity in flagship phones.
Top-Tier Performance
Powering the device will be Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, positioning the Ace 3 Pro squarely in the premium segment. This will be paired with generous RAM and storage options:
- 12GB RAM / 256GB storage
- 16GB RAM / 512GB storage
- 24GB RAM / 1TB storage
Display and Design
The Ace 3 Pro is said to feature a curved-edge OLED display with 1.5K resolution, earning a DisplayMate A+ rating. Leaked renders show a round rear camera module that stands out from the frame, unlike recent OnePlus flagships.
Color options are expected to include:
- Black (matte glass finish)
- Green (vegan leather)
- Blue
- Ceramic White (special Collector's Edition)
Camera System
While detailed camera specs are still unclear, the Ace 3 Pro will likely sport a triple rear camera setup (50MP + 8MP + 2MP) and a 16MP front-facing camera.
Pricing and Availability
The OnePlus Ace 3 Pro is expected to launch in China this July, with a possible starting price of around 2,999 Yuan ($415) for the base model. International availability remains uncertain, but OnePlus may release a rebranded version in other markets.
While these specs are impressive on paper, it's important to note that they come from unofficial leaks. We'll have to wait for the official announcement to confirm the Ace 3 Pro's full capabilities and see how it performs in real-world testing.
Update: Tuesday July 09 08:07
The OnePlus Ace 3 Pro will feature cutting-edge LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0 storage for enhanced performance. The device's 6.78-inch curved OLED display will offer a 120Hz refresh rate. A special Collector's Edition with a ceramic white finish is planned, available in 16GB/512GB and 24GB/1TB configurations. The main camera is expected to use a 50MP Sony LYT-800 sensor. OnePlus is also developing an even more impressive 7,000mAh battery in collaboration with OPPO, though it's unclear if this will be included in the Ace 3 Pro. Pricing for the base model is estimated around ¥2,999 ($415), with high-end configurations potentially exceeding ¥4,000 ($550).
