OnePlus Ace Receives New ‘Racing Version’ Designed Like OnePlus 10 Pro, 67W Fast

OnePlus, today, launched the OnePlus Ace racing version in China. This is a “lite” version of the recently announced OnePlus Ace. The Racing Edition packs the same MediaTek Dimensity 8100 chip as the Ace but refreshes everything from the original design to other spaces. The new phone is also cheaper with a price of CNY 2000 (around Rs 23,000) for a version with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage, though for a limited time, OnePlus will sell it at CNY 1900 (around Rs 22,000). The OnePlus Ace starts at CNY 2500 (around Rs. 29,000).

Although the Ace has a flat-frame body, the Racing Edition is a Carvier with a fingerprint scanner embedded in the side power key. It also gets a headphone jack (which Ace doesn’t have). The biggest takeaway is the rear camera styling that seems to be inspired by the OnePlus 10 Pro. The phone is available in gray and blue.

OnePlus Ace Racing Edition Features, Features

The OnePlus Ace Racing version has a 6.59-inch 120Hz adaptive LCD display with 1080p resolution and hole punch cutout. Underneath the hood, it features a 5nm Dimension 8100-Max chip with up to 12GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage. The software is ColorOS 12.1 based on Android 12.

For photography, the back of the racing version has a triple camera setup with a 64MP main, 8MP ultraviolet and another 2MP macro shooter. On the front, it has a 16MP camera.

The phone is powered by a 5,000mAh battery with 67W fast charging support.

At the time of writing the racing version, there is no word on the exclusive global availability for China. OnePlus Ace was rebranded as OnePlus 10R for India. It will be interesting to see how things pan out for the racing version in the coming days.
