OnePlus Ace Review: You want the Ace, it's back

When OPPO launched the Ace product that year, it was eye-catching, which represented OPPO's beginning to pay more attention to market segmentation and integrate the concept of "game phone" into the design of its own products. Unfortunately, after only two generations of products, the OPPO Ace series disappeared due to adjustments.

But what may not have been expected is that after two years of the launch of OPPO Ace2, Ace returned, but the brand hung up the LOGO of "OnePlus OnePlus". Still that familiar taste, still the positioning of the game market, only this time from green to red.

At the beginning of the promotion, one plus Ace determined the length of the game to be played, which can be seen from its product design. OnePlus Ace has two colors, black official name "open black", blue official name "back to blue", played the game, especially played MOBA (multiplayer online tactical competitive game) users, for these two words must be no stranger.

The design of this phone left the most impressive, or rather the most surprising design, is the exaggerated lens module behind it. OnePlus Ace uses a triple camera, the main camera uses OPPO's ancestral IMX766, although the sensor area of this lens is not as large as it seems, but OnePlus still designed an exaggerated lens module cover for Ace, which also means that this phone has good recognition.

The phone cleanly adopts the design of right angle middle frame plus flat screen, which makes this phone look quite square. OnePlus is equipped with a 6.7-inch OLED screen for this phone, 1080P level, with a typical brightness value of 500nit and a local peak brightness value of 950nit, while it supports a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz, with dynamic adjustments including 60, 90, and 120Hz.

This is a decent screen, for the mid-range mobile phone market, it does not pull across, and for e-sports, the choice of flexible straight screen will have a more unique advantage than curved screen.

As a mobile processor platform that has sprung up this year, MediaTek Tianji 8100 has performed unexpectedly well, which has been reflected in the previous launch of corresponding products. As a mobile phone that plays the main game, whether the use of Tianji 8100 can be accepted by all users, many people may have to play a big question mark, but after the actual test, such doubts have been completely eliminated.

In the actual game testing process, you will find that the processor of the 8100 has basically no pressure to cope with the current mainstream games. On this OnePlus Ace, OnePlus has also made a certain degree of customization to the processor, adding GPA frame stabilization technology and graphic heterogeneous technology, the former can achieve frame rate stabilization through algorithms, and the latter can co-processor and GPU workflow to improve efficiency.

Antutu's test score exceeded 810,000 points, which is not significantly different from some previous competitors with the same processor. The score of the storage also exceeds 70,000 points, which is basically the normal level of the current mainstream products.

In the actual game test, taking the glory of the king as an example, after opening the 120 frame display, a normal game of about 18 minutes, the actual frame rate of the glory of the king finally recorded 118.1 frames, the frame rate curve in the process of this game is quite stable, and there is no case of processor downscaling lock frames due to overheating.

The biggest value of the Tianji 8100 is reflected in the energy efficiency ratio, because the OnePlus Ace uses a dual battery, in the 18-minute game session, the power consumption is only 4.4W, which is much better than the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor products tested before.

In the test of the Peace Elite, the game was played in the 90 frame mode, and the final score was 89.8 frames, and the stability of the screen in the overall game link was very high, and basically no stuttering or jumping frame was felt.

In order to highlight the characteristics of this OnePlus Ace game, OnePlus also released a "OnePlus 18W Freezing Point Heat Dissipation Back Clip" with the mobile phone. Compared to many of the heat dissipation back clips you have seen, I have to say that one plus this design is quite handsome, especially the color matching of white and red, combined with the rounded shape, the design of this part can give high scores.

The principle of the heat dissipation back clip is no different from other competitors, but what is different is that the one-plus back clip has a three-speed fan speed adjustment function, and the difference between the three gears is the fan speed and noise:

High-grade: the minimum cooling of the monomer to -3 °C; the fan noise is 38db;

Mid-range: single minimum cooling to -1.5 °C; fan noise 34db;

Low gear: the minimum temperature of the monomer is 2°C; the fan noise is 24db.

In the actual experience, this cooling back clip is indeed very quiet when opening the low-speed gear, which is more obviously different from the general product.

The actual cooling effect, the same 18 minutes of the glory of the king 120 frames, after wearing the heat sink back clip, a plus Ace recorded 118.4 frames, although literally compared to the previous 118.1 frames did not significantly improve, but from the frame rate curve point of view, after wearing the heat dissipation back clip (green line) after the obvious overall picture smoothness will be higher.

With the total heat dissipation area of 35189.2mm stacked inside the Ace this time, with the excellent tuning of 8100 for the overall power consumption, this phone will basically not appear obviously hot in the actual game link, which is also in my opinion, Tianji 8100 has become the biggest reason for shen U in the first half of this year, MediaTek has very good control of the heat of its products, but also to ensure that the product has an excellent experience.

Finally, let's talk about this phone, which I think is the biggest highlight - the charging system. At MWC in March, realme released a 150W flash charge standard, and after realme Neo3 first used this set of standards, it was one of a plus.

OnePlus Ace also uses 150W wired flash charging technology, with a dual-cell equivalent 4500mAh battery module, forming the battery system of this mobile phone.

In the actual test, from 1-100% full, the OnePlus Ace used nearly 16 minutes of time, from the phone display 100% to the final charger current zero, it took nearly 1 minute, the overall efficiency is comparable to the previous realme Neo3.

In terms of endurance testing, I used the OnePlus Ace as the main machine for 7 days in a week, and I can use it for an average of about 10-11 hours a day without charging, which is basically in line with the average level of mainstream smartphones at present.

From the actual experience, one plus Ace is a fairly qualified game phone, especially in the current situation of fierce competition in the smartphone market, it is more important for the market segment, even if the Ace is placed in the era when OPPO did not give up the Ace product line two years ago, this phone is also quite experiential.

The difference is that this OnePlus Ace chose a MediaTek Tianji 8100-Max, if you are very worried about whether such a processor can show the performance of the mobile phone in terms of gaming, I helped you test it, you don't have to worry at all.

Since last year, after the merger of OnePlus into Oujia (OPPO parent company), the product line has been boldly sorted out and expanded, which is a challenge and opportunity for OnePlus, which was once a small and beautiful mobile phone brand, and the emergence of Ace means that OnePlus has begun to march towards a more segmented market, as to whether it can reproduce the glory of the previous Ace series, it will be handed over to the market.
