The highly anticipated OnePlus Ace 3, presumed successor to the February 2022 Ace 2, is inching closer to its official unveiling in China. While OnePlus maintains official silence, a flurry of reports have painted a vivid picture of the phone’s potential features and design.
Recent reports by industry insider Digital Chat Station suggests the Ace 3 may deviate from earlier reports by omitting the anticipated 32-megapixel telephoto lens from its camera setup. The phone is still expected to boast a formidable triple-camera system. Featuring a 50-megapixel primary sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS), an 8-megapixel ultrawide sensor, and a 16-megapixel front-facing camera.

Performance and battery life are also expected to be noteworthy. Reports point towards a powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. And a sizeable 5,500mAh battery equipped with fast 100W wired charging. Ensuring seamless performance and extended usage between charges.
Interestingly, OnePlus might launch the Ace 3 globally under the moniker OnePlus 12R. Following a similar strategy employed with the previous generation’s Ace 2 (released globally as the OnePlus 11R). This naming convention suggests a close lineage between the models, catering to different regional markets.
While official pricing remains unconfirmed, the Ace 2’s Indian market launch offers a potential glimpse into the Ace 3’s value proposition. The 8GB + 128GB and 16GB + 256GB variants of the 11R were priced at Rs. 39,999 and Rs. 44,999, respectively, making it a competitive offering in the mid-range segment.
With its high-end specifications, sleek design, and potentially attractive price point, the OnePlus Ace 3 has the potential to be a compelling contender in the smartphone market. The official announcement ais coming soon. It will confirm the reports and reveal the full extent of what this highly anticipated device has to offer.
