The OnePlus Ace 3V is now officially available in the Chinese market and is expected to launch globally as the OnePlus Nord 4. It is the successor to the OnePlus Ace 2V, which launched with a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chip and came to the global market as the OnePlus Nord 3. The highlight of the Ace 3V is the chipset. It is the first smartphone to launch with the new Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 SOC.
Design-wise, OnePlus went with a different camera module design, which looks similar to the camera module design of Meizu phones, mainly due to the ring LED flash. There are two cameras on the rear. The back is made of glass, the purple variant has a matte finish, and the Black variant has a glossy finish.
The phone has an alert slider on the left and a power button and volume rockers on the right. There is also an Infrared blaster on the top, and it has a stereo speaker setup.
The OnePlus Ace 3V has IP65 certification and uses the same Rain Touch technology as this year’s flagship OnePlus phones.
The Ace 3V has a flat display with a hole punch cutout in the middle and minimal bezels. This is a 6.74-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution, up to 120Hz refresh rate, 10-bit colors, 2,150 nits peak brightness, and 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming. It is not an LTPO panel like the more expensive OnePlus 12R, aka the OnePlus Ace 3.
Under the hood, the phone has the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chipset with up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB UFS 4.0 storage. It uses a 9140mm² large vapor chamber for better thermals, the same as the OnePlus 12R. The battery is 5,500mAh, and there is 100W fast-wired charging support.
Speaking of cameras, the OnePlus Ace 3V uses two cameras on the rear. The primary camera has a 50MP Sony IMX882 sensor with an f/1.8 lens and OIS. The second camera is used for ultrawide photos and has an 8MP sensor. The phone can shoot 4K videos at up to 60fps. For selfies, there is a 16MP camera with 1080p video recording up to 30fps.
Finally, ColorOS 14 runs out of the box.
