After a couple of teasers, OnePlus has finally released its latest sub-flagship smartphone, the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro. It is the first to come with the brand’s latest battery technology.
The OnePlus Ace 3 Pro pioneer’s the brand’s Glacier Battery technology. It basically made the battery module more energy-dense, resulting in a big 6,100mAh capacity, while retaining a similar footprint.

OnePlus also promised that the new battery can retain 80% of its capacity after 4 years of typical usage.
Plus, there’s the 100W SUPERVOOC S wired charging that can fully charge the device from 0 to 100% in just 36 minutes. Sadly, still no wireless charging for the Ace series.

As for the cameras, we have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, with up to a whopping 24GB LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB UFS 4.0.
The chipset is attached to a large 9126mm² vapor chamber that OnePlus claims offers 36% better cooling and 70% better thermal conductivity than its predecessor.

That’s the same chip found on OnePlus’s proper flagship device, the OnePlus 12. What makes it less of a flagship, primarily, are the cameras. No Hasselblad tech, telephoto, or fancy ultra-wide lens here.
Instead, we have a camera setup similar to the OnePlus 12R, a.k.a Ace 3. There’s the 50-megapixel main shooter with optical image stabilization, 8-megapixel ultra-wide, and a 2-megapixel macro lens.

A 16-megapixel selfie camera is on the front, sitting on top of the 6.78-inch FHD+ LTPO AMOLED display with a 2.8K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision, and of course, HDR10+. It is paired with stereo speakers.
Also onboard are the latest WiFi 7 connectivity, Bluetooth 5.4, and IP54-rated dust and water resistance.

The OnePlus Ace 3 Pro has a price of CNY3,199 (~Php25,800) for the 12GB/256GB, CNY3,499 (~Php28,200) for the 16GB/256GB, CNY3,799 (~Php30,700) for the 16GB/512GB, and CNY4,399 (~Php35,500) for the 24GB/1TB. They will be available in China starting July 3. No word yet if it will ever make it to the Philippines and other markets.
