Ace, literally translated as "ace."
As the first product of the Ace series of one plus brand, one plus Ace is more specific, the official positioning is "performance trump card", the main focus is smooth performance performance, rather than a game phone.
In addition, as a new series, OnePlus Ace has also made some trade-offs and changes in appearance, which is not so "one plus", so that some users who often pay attention to one plus have risen sharply to some strangeness, and I am one of them.
When I began to experience one plus Ace, there were also some contradictions in my heart, since it is the product of the main performance Ace, with a Tianji 8100? And is this product still OnePlus?
After a few days, the confusion in my heart gradually became clear.
The Tianji 8100-MAX can also Ace
OnePlus Ace is equipped with MediaTek's customized Tianji 8100-MAX SoC, compared with the public version of the Tianji 8100, 8100-MAX Is mainly improved in AI performance, close to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888.
However, the improvement of AI performance is not so obvious in the daily experience, but according to the official description, the other side of joint customization is to focus on improving the "frame stabilization" strategy, bringing chip-level software tuning to OnePlus Ace.
In simple terms, the performance in the game is more stable, reducing the number of stutters.
In the actual experience, in the national mobile game such as "Peace Elite", after opening the highest frame rate, in the environment of multiple consecutive rounds, Perfdog's frame rate curve is almost straight, and few frames are dropped.
The CPU occupies about 30%, and the individual cores show no signs of downscaling, remaining active almost the entire time. In this way, the national mobile game has not yet reached the limit of one plus Ace.
In "Original God", in the case of the first five minutes of brushing the map, OnePlus Ace can maintain the operation of the full frame and is full of stability. But five minutes later, perhaps due to internal heat build-up, the OnePlus Ace hovered between 45fps and 30 fps, and the frame rate drop experience was more pronounced.
At this point, cpu usage is 42.8%, the A78 big cores are collectively downsized to 1.8GHz, and only the A55 small cores are running at full load.
In addition, OnePlus Ace also has a built-in game unique chip, and the biggest function is to MEMC interpolate the game. There are two points to note, one is the need to open 60fps in the game, and the other is the need for game support.
In terms of the current node, 60fps plug 120fps, whether it is the naked eye or feel, and the native 120fps is almost the same, it is difficult to detect. Support for games has also added adaptations to some popular games, which can be opened by calling out the game menu.
After interpolation, the most obvious change is the A78 large core in the CPU, the whole process of maintaining a low call, there is a core and even the whole process of "touching the fish", the power consumption is also significantly reduced, very suitable for the power emergency to solve the problem.
Such a performance is actually just the normal level of the SoC of Tianji 8100. OnePlus Ace is nothing more than adding a plus Hyperboost frame stabilization technology on the basis of this SoC, and some colorOS features in the game are built-in.
But is this really the case with Ace?
Along with the OnePlus Ace, there are also two accessories, one is the one plus Buds N true wireless headphones that are positioned to enter, and the other is the one plus 18W freezing point thermal back clip.
OnePlus Buds N adopts the design style of bean stalks, and the storage box adopts a unique right angle edge element, which is very distinctive overall.
Functionally, it adopts the same Bluetooth 5.2 low-latency technology as one plus Buds Pro to ensure that the game is black and the brush drama does not stutter.
The OnePlus 18W Freezing Point Heat Dissipation Back Clip is an active heat dissipation device, functionally similar to other similar products. But OnePlus has two bright spots, one is the high power of 18W, and the other is the addition of Hall switches.
The former, as the name suggests, is that the wind is stronger and the cooling effect is fierce. As a result, OnePlus's thermal back clip provides three gears of low, medium and high, the difference is the cooling target, which is 2 °C, -1.5 °C and -3 °C, of course, as the gear increases, the noise also increases from 24 db to 38 db.
Originally thought that this cooling back clip is nothing more than a dispensable accessory, spending 18W of power, the final result may only be ten minutes of high-energy performance.
When I combined the OnePlus Ace with the 18W Freezing Point Cooling Back Clip, it turned on the high-end. As a result, in the environment of "Original God" with full special effects, OnePlus Ace completely A, and after 30 consecutive minutes of high-frequency running map spawning, it ran a straight and stable curve around 60fps, with an average frame rate of 58.3fps.
At this time, the CPU occupancy rate is 43.1%, the size core of the whole CPU remains active, there is no frequency reduction, and the output is quite stable.
The most important thing is that OnePlus Ace did not use a reduced resolution in "Original God" to ensure smoother frame rate performance, similar to the rest of the Android flagships at 810p.
With the 18W freezing point cooling back clip, the performance of one plus Ace in the game is impressive, as if this is the complete body of Ace.
Of course, the premise of all this is that you are an enthusiast of "Original God", or take a plus Ace as a pure mobile game main machine.
Otherwise, in the daily entertainment bureau, a plus Ace equipped with mediatek Tianji 8100-MAX is enough to serve as your upper score helper.
A different design style from "plus"
OnePlus Ace lacks the traditional "three-stage" side button of OnePlus, which may be "contrary to the ancestral precepts".
But it still retains the "feel" that OnePlus mobile phones are famous for. The thickness of 8.2mm and the weight of the fuselage of 186g make the OnePlus Ace have an absolute weight and feel advantage in front of a number of performance mobile phones.
Almost every colleague who has touched the OnePlus Ace will praise a "good feel", I think this is not a bonus brought by the "right angle edge" design elements, but the body material, detail handling, weight and thickness are determined by the combination.
The fuselage cover uses the "electric light waterfall process", which translates to matte gradient color. This time, the love fan experience is the "open black" color matching, the processing of gradient colors is more low-key, and the "back to blue" color matching will be more direct.
As for the camera module, it is slightly rougher, but the 3D processing in the edge area is used, which brings a bonus to the feel.
On the front is a 6.7-inch center-perforated flexible screen that supports a high refresh rate of 120Hz and a resolution of 2412×1080. And this screen supports a local peak brightness of 950nit, up to 800nit in sunlight.
Overall, with the name Ace first appearing in one plus products, one plus Ace has also made certain trade-offs in the design, and there is a feeling of not breaking and standing in it.
As for the beauty of one plus Ace, it is quite subjective, I have asked many colleagues with one plus Ace, most of the positive answers, but relatively speaking, more praise is still in the "feel".
From another point of view, OnePlus Ace uses a new design language and abandons the three-stage side buttons, which is a pity, but for OnePlus in the details, texture, feel and other aspects of the fuselage, there is still a traditional "One Plus" flavor.
The 150W Super Flash charger changes the way of life
What can the popularity of fast charging bring?
It can be to save the time of replenishment, or it can reduce the time of individual power replenishment, in the final analysis, it is actually a change in the way of using the machine. Before going out, during the washing process, or under various fragmentation times, recharge your hands and you can be full of blood.
In addition, the frequency of use of mobile charging treasures is greatly reduced, and more is replaced by high-specification charging heads, which is also a lifestyle change.
OnePlus Ace comes standard with a 150W "Longevity Edition" super flash charge. 150W refers to the charging speed, which is about 15 minutes to fill up the OnePlus Ace.
The longevity version actually refers to the battery, through the upgrade of the battery in the machine, after 1600 battery cycles, the battery still has 80% of the remaining capacity, which is 2 times the industry standard.
In other words, after four years of normal use, the battery capacity of oneplus Ace will still be around 80%, charging faster and longer lasting.
In less than a week of experience time, the deepest impression is still the charging speed, and in the blink of an eye, it has reached a full state from the red power.
And, it is worth praising that the 150W charging head equipped with a plus Ace is a USB-C interface, in addition to supporting 65W and 80W private fast charging downwards, it also supports the public charging standard of 65W PD, and the versatility is full.
Is this still OnePlus?
When I first looked at one plus Ace, I actually had a lot of doubts in my heart.
The transformation of OnePlus in recent years may be over-interpreted by many people, which is very similar to the product of OnePlus Ace. In some ways, it has lost some of the persistence that OnePlus products once had, such as the three-stage button.
But on a larger level, OnePlus Ace still follows the labels of "performance" and "feel", and even polishes it more prominently.
Take the SoC of Tianji 8100, with the heat dissipation back clip, it can tame the "Original God" without reduced picture quality, which is the most prominent aspect of "performance".
As for the feel, although the design style has been changed, it still has a more sensitive sense of smell for the details of the fuselage. When your hand wanders on the body of the OnePlus Ace, you can still experience the "good feel" that you originally pursued.
OnePlus Ace is a mid-range, performance-oriented product, you can not agree with its new body design language, but you can not ignore its performance in the "performance" and "feel" of oneplus' traditional strengths.
