OnePlus Ace 3 has made its debut as the inaugural OnePlus device of 2024. Unveiled during a dedicated launch event in China, this flagship-grade device takes the mantle from its predecessor, the Ace 2, and brings with it a host of notable upgrades, including the option for 1 TB of storage capacity.
Design and Display
The Ace 3 boasts a curved 6.7-inch LTPO AMOLED display, graced with a 1,240 x 2,772-pixel resolution and an adaptive refresh rate spanning from 1Hz to 120Hz. Crafted by BOE, this panel offers up to 1,600 nits of brightness in Auto mode and a peak brightness of up to 4,500 nits, but it also ensures durability with the inclusion of Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection.
OnePlus has seamlessly continued its design legacy, first introduced with the OnePlus 11, in the creation of the Ace 3. This aesthetic masterpiece features an aluminum frame, complemented by a frosted glass back, which gracefully extends into a circular camera island seamlessly integrated into the side frame. OnePlus aficionados will also find the iconic three-stage alert slider, adding a touch of convenience to the device.
Internals and Software
Driving the OnePlus Ace 3 is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, paired with either 12 GB or 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM, offering users ample multitasking capabilities. Additionally, the device boasts expansive storage options, reaching up to a reliable 1TB through UFS 4.0 technology. There is no memory card slot for expansion.
For software, you get Android 14 working with Color OS 14 since it is a China-only phone.

On the back, there is a triple-camera setup led by a powerful 50MP Sony IMX890 primary camera, enhanced by Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). Complementing this main camera are an 8MP ultrawide lens and a 2MP macro camera. Video recording capabilities go up to 4K 60 FPS and 1080p 240 FPS.
The selfie camera inside the punch-hole cutout is a 16MP shooter with 1080p video recording.
