OnePlus recently unveiled the flagship OnePlus 12 in its home country. The spree of launches has not ended just yet because the brand is expected to bring the more affordable OnePlus Ace 3 to the market soon.

  • According to reliable Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station (viaGizmochina), OnePlus has dropped its plan to use a 32MP IMX709 2X telephoto camera in the OnePlus Ace 3. The phone could instead feature a macro camera similar to its predecessor. Enthusiasts may not be too happy about this move as it was expected to upgrade the camera system significantly.
  • Further, the tipster says the device will feature a metal body with a glass back, which is a significant improvement over the OnePlus Ace 2/11R’s plastic frame.
  • The Chinese variant of the phone is expected to feature Gray, Blue and Gold colour options, but the global variant may miss out on one of these variants as per usual trend.

OnePlus has confirmed that the OnePlus Ace 3 will feature a 1.5K high-brightness BOE panel. Recent rumours have pointed out that it could have the same 4,500-nits peak brightness as the flagship OnePlus 12. The LTPO panel could also improve efficiency with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. The global launch is reportedly slated for January 23rd, 2024. Key Specs
