OnePlus Ace Racing Edition and OnePlus Ace configuration list

Design

Although the names of OnePlus Ace and OnePlus Ace are similar, their design styles are not exactly the same. The appearance design of OnePlus Ace is similar to its brother Realme GTNeo3, while OnePlus Ace is similar to the appearance of OnePlus's own flagship OnePlus 10Pro. In addition, OnePlus Ace has a right-angled design, while OnePlus Ace has a rounded transition border.

Screen difference

The OnePlus Ace Racing Edition uses a straight LCD screen design, which has the advantages of global DC dimming, and is user-friendly to those who are sensitive to screen flicker. This phone is currently the most powerful LCD screen phone in the Android camp, but the disadvantage is that the chin is slightly larger. The OnePlus Ace uses an OLED screen design, which has a higher contrast, a more colorful look, and a narrower chin. It also supports fingerprint unlocking under the screen, while the OnePlus Ace Racing Edition can only use side fingerprint unlocking.

Photo Difference

OnePlus Ace has a slight advantage in imaging, with the main camera using IMX766 and supporting OIS, which makes daily photography better and has stronger resolution. However, OnePlus Ace Racing Edition is average in photography, without OIS and the main camera specifications are also relatively average.

Battery and fast charging

OnePlus Ace uses a dual-cell 4500 mAh + 150W solution, which is far ahead in terms of charging. There are not many mobile phones at this price that support 150W fast charging, which is the top configuration at present. The OnePlus Ace Racing Edition pays more attention to battery life, with a battery of 5000 mAh, but the charging speed is only 67W.

Size and weight

There is a big difference in weight between OnePlus Ace and OnePlus Ace Racing Edition. The former is thinner and lighter, with a thickness of 8.2mm and a weight of only about 186g. However, due to the thicker LCD screen, larger battery, and more heat dissipation, the OnePlus Ace Racing Edition weighs up to 205g and is 8.7mm thick, making it a heavier model.

Other Configuration

OnePlus Ace and OnePlus Ace Racing Edition have similar configurations, both have NFC, dual speakers, and X-axis linear motor. However, OnePlus Ace does not support 3.5mm headphone jack, while OnePlus Ace Racing Edition has retained the 3.5mm headphone jack design, which is very rare nowadays. In this price range, only OnePlus Ace Racing Edition supports 3.5mm headphone jack in the first half of this year.

price

The starting price of OnePlus Ace is 2499 yuan, and the original price of OnePlus Ace Racing Edition is 1999 yuan. However, due to cooperation with JD.com, the initial price was reduced by 100 yuan to 1899 yuan, and the price guarantee is 618 yuan. No matter how the official promotion is done, the starting price is actually 1899 yuan. The difference between the two is 600 yuan, but the processor is the same, and the performance of OnePlus Ace Racing Edition is more powerful, and the game performance is slightly better than OnePlus Ace.

Which one is worth buying, OnePlus Ace or OnePlus Ace Racing Edition?

There is no problem with the overall configuration of the OnePlus Ace, and the performance of the Dimensity 8100MAx chip is also quite impressive, but the starting price of 2,499 yuan is not very advantageous in the current market, because its own brother Realme GTNeo3 8+128G is only 2,299 yuan, and this one also has an AG glass back cover, which has a better texture. However, the OnePlus Ace uses a right-angle edge design and charges faster. As for the OnePlus Ace Racing Edition, it is quite good. If you like LCD, you can basically go for it without thinking. In terms of performance, it performs well, and chooses to retain the 3.5mm headphone jack. There is no reduction in other configurations. It is priced around 2,000 yuan and is worth buying for daily games.
