In the past few years, domestic smartphones have been rolling processors, volume cameras, rolling screens, and volume fast charging. In 2023, a new direction for the volume was found - memory.
For example, the protagonist of this article, OnePlus Ace2 Pro, has 24GB RAM and 1TB ROM, which is larger than the mainstream computer (16GB), what different experience will it bring under the surge of memory?
The difference between RAM and ROM
Before the text begins, it is necessary to talk about what is RAM (memory) and what is ROM (body storage), which is what many people do not understand.
As we all know, the computer is divided into memory and hard disk two kinds of storage, the RAM in the mobile phone and the memory in the computer is the same, is the bridge between the CPU and the external memory communication, system data, APP must run on it, with high bandwidth, low latency characteristics, but once the power is cut off, it cannot store data.
The ROM in the mobile phone is equivalent to the solid-state drive in the computer, the speed is faster than the mechanical hard disk, but it is still not as good as RAM, the data is not lost after the power failure, and the installation files, photos, and videos of the APP are stored on it.
The larger the RAM, the smoother the running of large apps, and more APP can be run in the background - for example, the iPhone 13 in the author's hands only has a pitiful 4GB of memory, once the camera APP is run, the memory is squeezed dry instantly, the background program is almost all closed, and the tombstone mechanism that blows to the sky does not work at all, so when it comes to the iPhone 14, Apple has to increase the memory to 6GB, but the effect is still a drop in the bucket, which shows that large memory is so important.
In addition to having 24GB of large memory, OnePlus Ace2 Pro also uses global memory architecture technology and memory gene recombination technology, in the actual experience, when opening multiple apps such as clipping, Genshin, camera, Weibo, etc., there is no encounter in the experience process to kill the background task due to insufficient memory, eliminating the trouble of users manually closing the background task, and can be used boldly and with confidence.
In addition, the official also said that the 1TB version of Ace2 Pro benefited from large ROM and new storage technology and passed the "TÜV SÜD 48-month fluency A certification".
However, it is not enough to have large capacity RAM, ROM, performance is equally important, OnePlus Ace2 Pro uses LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 ROM, which is the highest standard in today's smartphones.
We tested the RAM and ROM performance of the OnePlus Ace2 Pro using two apps, AndroBench and AnTuTu. AndroBench measured data (ROM) is as follows: sequential read speed of 3103.01MB/s, sequential write speed of 2789.12MB/s.
In the storage test of AnTuTu, the memory bandwidth and latency scores of RAM were 79798 and 80357, respectively, and the application speed of ROM, storage speed, sequential read speed, sequential write speed, and random read and write speed scores were 57426, 35162, 37343, and 61909, respectively, with good comprehensive performance.
Performance testing
In addition to ultra-large RAM and ROM, OnePlus Ace2 Pro also uses the latest second-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, which adopts a new 1+4+3 8-core architecture, of which the ultra-large core Kryo Prime core (based on Cortex-X3) reaches 3.2GHz.
At the same time, in order to control the temperature of Snapdragon, OnePlus Ace2 Pro uses Tiangong heat dissipation system and advanced heat dissipation space structure, VC has a large heat dissipation area of 9140mm², and the first aerospace-grade diamond thermal conductive gel, equipped with aerospace-grade superthermal conductivity graphite, the thermal conductivity efficiency is further improved, the latter is composed of an integrated dual-cycle heat dissipation system and Laval airway, in a VC to achieve two complete sets of cyclic heat dissipation, improve heat conduction speed.
First look at AnTuTu's test results, OnePlus Ace2 Pro has a total score of 1651994, of which the CPU part score is 396569, the GPU part score is 609172, the MEM score is 351995, the UX score is 294258, and AnTuTu detected that the machine temperature rose by 6.4°C in the entire test.
Next, PCmark test, the project is work 2.0 performance, the score is 9805, of which web browsing 2.0, video editing, document writing 2.0, picture editing 2.0, data operation corresponding scores are 6579, 5723, 13793, 19817, 8807.
The final test was the more stressful Genshin game, which was an air-conditioned room at about 24°C, and the game was set to high image quality, 60FPS frame rate, and Sumeru Castle ran for 30 minutes. During the test, the OnePlus Ace2 Pro was basically stable around 60FPS, and the average frame rate was 59FPS during the entire test.
At the end of the test, we also measured the OnePlus Ace2 Pro surface temperature using the FLIR ONE PRO, with the highest temperature on the back at 39.5°C under the camera and the highest temperature on the front at 36.8°C above the phone (near the front camera). Combined with the frame rate performance of Genshin, OnePlus Ace2 Pro can balance performance and heat dissipation performance.
Metallic texture Eye-catching
In terms of appearance, OnePlus Ace2 Pro continues the design language of OnePlus 11 and OnePlus Ace, using two new colors of aurora green and titanium empty gray, in order to achieve a metallic texture, it adopts a new upgraded diffuse reflection process for polishing, and through special top plating materials, on the basis of the reflection process is not easy to stain fingerprints, the gloss is improved. Coupled with the curved screen and the back cover 3D micro-four-curved curved glass, the OnePlus Ace2 Pro is quite rounded to hold and comfortable to hold.
OnePlus Ace2 Pro also uses a piece of real glass on the rear camera module, and adopts glass cold engraving process and three-dimensional etching process to achieve the same metal texture and color of the back cover, and further enhances the texture by etching CD texture and characters.
As for OnePlus's iconic three-stage switch design, it is also retained on the Ace2 Pro, allowing users to quickly switch between ringing, silent, and vibrating modes with a flick of their index finger.
In terms of screen, OnePlus Ace2 Pro adopts Q9+ material jointly customized with BOE, 6.74-inch AMOLED flexible curved screen, resolution of 1.5K, screen border only 2.17mm, pixel density of 450ppi, with 10bit color depth, can cover 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, manual control of the maximum brightness of 550nit, global maximum brightness can reach 1200nit, peak brightness up to 1600nit.
And in order to bring a smoother experience, ADFR technology has been added, so that the LTPS screen can be switched at multiple refresh rates of 45Hz/60Hz/90Hz/120Hz according to the display content, balancing power consumption and smoothness. In addition, the screen supports 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, coupled with OLED's own low blue light technology, and has passed the TÜV Rheinland global eye protection certification.
What is even more rare is that OnePlus Ace2 Pro adopts the ultra-thin fingerprint unlocking module under the screen that is rare in mobile phones of the same price and the same bionic vibration motor of OnePlus 11, the former brings a larger unlocking range, and there is no need to unlock, reducing the possibility of accidental slipping of the phone.
In addition to fingerprint unlocking, the OnePlus Ace2 Pro also supports face unlocking
The bionic vibration motor adopts CSA magnetic circuit technology, the volume is more than 600mm³, thanks to the increase in magnetic flux, the synchronous amplitude is increased by 20% compared with the previous generation, which can bring a more delicate and powerful vibration in various games, such as it shows the washboard road and the recoil of firearms, which are two different vibrations.
OnePlus Ace2 Pro is equipped with 5000mAh, SUPERVOOC S full-link power management chip and comes with a 150W GaN charging adapter, supporting 150W flash charging and 45W USB PD charging, according to the official description from 1% to 100% charging only 17 minutes. In the AnTuTu test, it took 17 minutes and 35 seconds for the mobile phone to charge from 2% to 100%, which basically met the official description.
Camera
OnePlus Ace2 Pro rear camera gives the first feeling of a four-camera design, in fact, it is a combination of 24mm main camera, 112° ultra-wide and macro lens, and the last "camera" is a fill light LED light, thanks to the symmetrical design, effectively alleviate the discomfort of obsessive-compulsive patients, and the entire camera module design has a good degree of recognition.
Needless to say, the strongest of the three cameras is the main camera, which uses a Sony IMX890 sensor in addition to a lens with 6P structure, optical image stabilization, and an F/1.88 aperture.
IMX890 is a 1/1.56-inch CMOS sensor launched by Sony last year, with a total of 50 million pixels, a single pixel size of 1μm, using QBC CFA and 2×2 OCL design, the output speed reaches 30FPS at full pixels, and the output speed can reach 120FPS under 2×2 pixel coalescing and 16:9 aspect ratio.
At the same time, OnePlus Ace2 Pro also uses OPPO's "ultra-light and shadow image engine", "ultra-clear image quality engine", and ProXDR photon matrix technology and a number of image core algorithms.
In actual shooting, you will find that thanks to the IMX890 sensor, the main camera focus tracking performance is quite good, even when shooting flowers that are blown by the wind and shake at close range, the OnePlus Ace2 Pro can focus on it.

Conclusion: Machines such as humans are not as good as machines and other people
24GB memory, larger than the memory capacity of mainstream computers, which many people feel is too exaggerated and impractical. But past experience tells us that the APP will become larger and larger, the number of APP used will be more and more, instead of the future because of the lack of RAM, ROM to affect the experience, it is better to buy a large-capacity mobile phone at the beginning, prefer machines and other people, not people waiting for machines, with 24GB RAM and 1TB ROM OnePlus Ace2 Pro is a mobile phone that can meet future needs.
