1. OnePlus Ace 3 Pro: Premium Design & Curved Screen

According to a recent leak, the company is using three materials on the Ace 3 Pro, which could include ceramic, glass, and leather. It is rumored that the ceramic is exclusive to the white variant, while the glass option comes in a bright silver finish. All three models will feature a metal middle frame and a large circular camera island on the back.

All of these options are often seen in flagship phones. That’s not all, it seems like the design is seeing more changes as the brand could employ a new textured body. On the front, the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro could sport a tall 6.78-inch curved OLED display from BOE. This panel offers a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It will likely house a punch hole cutout for the selfie camera.

2. Powerhouse Chip & Flagship Specs

Under the hood, the Ace 3 Pro is expected to pack the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. This is the same processor that powers current-gen flagship smartphones. It is expected to be paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of internal storage.

Known tipster Digital Chat Station has also claimed that a 24GB RAM option could be in the works as well. Rumors have hinted at the Ace 3 Pro featuring the largest battery on a OnePlus phone yet. Reportedly, it will pack a massive 6,100mAh battery pack that supports 100W wired fast charging.

3. Camera

All of the aforementioned specs are basically top-notch, but an area that confirms its status as an affordable flagship is the camera department. The main sensor on the rear is a respectable 50-megapixel primary shooter. This could be the same sensor as the OnePlus Ace 3, which is the Sony IMX890.

This is paired with an 8-megapixel ultra wide angle lens and a 2-megapixel depth/macro sensor. Unlike most flagships, you miss out on the periscope telephoto camera. For selfies and video calls, the front may house a 16-megapixel camera.

4. Launch & Availability

As of right now, it is unclear when the Chinese brand aims to launch this device. The Ace 3 Pro will likely be a China exclusive again. However, there’s a chance that OnePlus may release the upcoming smartphone in the global market. For those unaware, the Ace 3 launched as the OnePlus 12R in the global market. So we can expect a similar release for the Ace 3 Pro as well. This is all the information we have at the moment, so stick around for more updates.
