OnePlus Ace 3 and Redmi K70, who can become a new benchmark for cost performance?
Preface
It's time to get ready for the New Year, and my girlfriend's best friend Xiao Ai said that she wants to buy a new mobile phone with a larger memory, and her budget is about 3K, and there are so many machines, so I don't know what brand to choose? If you have a 3K budget, you can't naturally consider the flagship machine, and now in the mid-range market, there are many models that are very worth starting, and the price is also within the budget range under consideration.
For example, the recent hotter: OnePlus Ace 3 and Redmi K70, their prices are in the same price range, 16+512 versions are 2999 yuan. So under a limited budget, how to choose a cost-effective mobile phone? This article shares Xiao Ai's choice after I analyze the configuration comparison! First take a brief look at the parameter comparison between them.
Both phones are also powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen2 processors, so you don't have to worry about performance. In addition, there are memory combinations that are all LPDDR5X+UFS4.0 blessings, and they are mid-range models of OnePlus and Redmi, naturally their performance release, smoothness, and application opening and loading experience are at a very high level.
Appearance, who will you choose
For a long time, the appearance of mobile phones has been a must for major manufacturers. There is a saying that "appearance is justice", and having a high-value body is a great help for sales. The appearance is the first part of the phone that people see, and it is also the part that is most likely to arouse people's interest. Therefore, a good-looking appearance can make consumers more interested in the phone, which increases the likelihood of purchase. In addition, the appearance can also reflect the design concept and brand image of the phone. For example, the simplicity and exquisite design of Apple's mobile phone and the high-end design of Huawei's mobile phone reflect the brand image and design concept. With the advent of consumption upgrades, consumers will become more and more willing to pay for good design, that is, the need to show differentiation and individuality is becoming more and more intense.
Nowadays, mobile phone manufacturers are investing more and more money and energy to design the appearance, in addition to improving the appearance of the product, there is also a very important reason to improve the recognition. Now the smartphone market has tended to have obvious product homogenization, and many mobile phones feel the same when they are taken out. Therefore, products with more personalized designs are more popular in the market.
Through the appearance, you can clearly feel that Redmi K70 and OnePlus Ace 3 have put a lot of thought into the "sense of luxury", and the configuration of the glass body + metal middle frame stands out among the 3000 price models, after all, who doesn't want to have a "looks more expensive" mobile phone?
OnePlus has always been an explorer and leader in new materials for mobile phones. Looking at the mobile phone market, OnePlus's mobile phones have attracted the attention of consumers with their ultra-high appearance and detailed design. OnePlus Ace 3 debuted three colors, Star Black, Moon Sea Blue, and Mingsha Gold, and the back panel adopts flagship-level glass technology, and uses more advanced production equipment and more complex diaphragm processes, so that each color has a unique texture, so that each texture has a more layered light and shadow change, bringing a glass texture far beyond the same level.
Star Black: Using the "new generation of silk glass technology", different angles can present different effects, as quiet as the night, bright as the stars.
Moon Sea Blue: It presents a sense of fluidity of metal particles, like the ocean under the moon, calm on the surface, but turbulent under the water.
Mingsha Gold: Using the industry's first "molten gold glass process", using a new coating material with high refractive index and high absorption, it presents a clear glass texture and metallic color, which looks very elegant and full of power.
The back of OnePlus Ace 3 still continues the watch-shaped lens module design, the color of the lens module is integrated with the body, and there are sunray scale rings around the module, which is very recognizable at a glance. The metal middle frame combines the 3D arc design of the back and the textured body, the overall level is on par with the flagship, and the grip is very comfortable.
Redmi K70 debuted four colors: ink feather, clear snow, bamboo moon blue and light eggplant purple, the color mix is also elegant, small and fresh, very good-looking. Redmi K70 uses a metal middle frame and velvet glass material, which makes the phone thin and light while also having an excellent feel and texture.
The design of the lens module is a highlight of the Redmi K70 series, and the lens bulge is cleverly offset by the step design, which is not visually protruding, making the back of the phone look more harmonious. However, compared with OnePlus Ace 3, the recognition has decreased a lot, and I personally think that the metal frame of the lens module is not as good as the OnePlus Ace 3 The metal frame extends to the middle frame of the fuselage, forming an overall streamlined beauty. In terms of appearance, each has its own preferences, and it is difficult to make a unified conclusion, those who like it will like it very much, and those who don't like it will naturally not like it.
Comparatively speaking, I personally like the OnePlus Ace 3 more about the connection between the middle frame and the screen and the back panel. It is not the kind of lines that are neatly stitched together, but through the precision milling of the four sides, the edges are rounded and not cut, and the flat design of the upper and lower frames is like integrated polishing, and the grip is so good that it is not good.
In addition, OnePlus Ace 3 retains OnePlus's classic "three-stage switch design", which can quickly switch between three modes: ring, vibrate, and silent with a simple toggle. This function has to be said, it is really easy to use! No need to take out your mobile phone, just one-handed blind operation: quickly switch between swipe up mute/center vibrate/swipe down ring. Imagine these different situations in life: the meeting scene needs to vibrate or you need to mute when you fall asleep at night, it is convenient to have it!
It's a pity that Redmi K70 does not have such a convenient physical key, but a very traditional series of steps: take out the phone - unlock it and enter the desktop - pull down the menu bar - switch to select different states. Maybe in a meeting scene, a phone rings, and you take it out and then scrambly turn off the ringtone, making you the center of attention.
The performance of running points depends on tuning
OnePlus Ace 3 is equipped with a mature Snapdragon 8 Gen2 chip, which has done a very good job in performance tuning and release, which can be described as "really fragrant"! With 16GB LPDDR5X and 1TB UFS 4.0 super large storage, it basically belongs to the performance ceiling of mobile phones in this price segment. In the Antutu running score, the measured OnePlus 12 got a total score of 1668287 points, with a CPU score of 402171, a GPU score of 607696, a MEM score of 344644, and a UX score of 313776 points, all of which ranked at the top of the leaderboard. It can be seen that this Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is still quite aggressive in terms of performance release, and in terms of scores, it has undoubtedly ranked among the first echelon of current mid-range mobile phone performance.
As a leader in large memory configurations, the OnePlus Ace 3 starts with 12GB of RAM, with options for up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. The phone has achieved 72 hours of stay alive in 34 commonly used applications and has passed the 48-month SAD A-level fluency certification, bringing users a new smooth experience.
With the same hardware configuration, the OnePlus Ace 3 achieves excellent performance with five Qualcomm-exclusive optimizations and flagship performance tuning based on the supercomputing platform. It has higher peak performance, more stable performance release, and longer smooth use. Among them, the "Microarchitecture Supercomputing Engine" penetrates deep into the bottom layer of the processor to achieve a balance between high performance and low power consumption, the "Memory Genetic Recombination 2.0" uses technologies such as instantaneous bandwidth of 64K dynamic large pages to increase the startup speed of commonly used applications by more than 3 times, while greatly improving the ability to keep the background alive, and "New Storage Technology" comprehensively improves the performance of flash memory through a number of core technologies to ensure that the mobile phone can remain smooth after 4 years of use.
Redmi K70 also uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen2 processor, with a combination of LPDDR5X memory chip + UFS4.0 flash charging chip. Judging from the actual running score results, Redmi K70 got a total score of 1549564 points in Antutu. Through comparison, it can be seen that compared with OnePlus Ace 3, it is about 12W worse, and Redmi's tuning of the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 is slightly under-hot. Of course, the performance of Redmi K70 is still good, and it can easily control all kinds of large-scale mobile games in the current market, after all, it uses Qualcomm's very mature Snapdragon 8 Gen2 processor.
game, who has a good experience
OnePlus Ace 3 is equipped with a discrete graphics chip, which works in tandem with the new generation of "Game Frame Stabilization Engine", "Super Frame Super Picture Engine" and "Smart Touch" technology to achieve optimal allocation of game commands, significantly improving graphics rendering efficiency. This allows all games to be opened at the same time at a super frame rate of 120 frames per second and a super resolution of 1.5K, ensuring millions of zero-break touches with two fingers. In addition, OnePlus Ace 3 also popularizes a new generation of self-developed super HDR image quality technology, which brings gamers a long-term smooth and full-frame gaming experience, as well as clear and natural image quality and multi-finger heel-hand stability.
In addition, OnePlus Ace 3 is equipped with the flagship-level "Tiangong Cooling System Pro", which uses industry-leading materials and structure. This product has a heat dissipation area of up to 9140mm², uses advanced superconducting thermal materials, and adopts an aerospace-grade space heat dissipation structure for the first time. Through the optimization of the three-dimensional level, the continuous and stable output of performance is ensured, providing users with a better user experience, which is a great addition to the game experience!
OnePlus's cooperation with the Genshin Impact project is deepening, and the OnePlus Ace 3 has been selected as the Android test device for the new version of Genshin Impact. OnePlus Ace 3 is the first to implement GSS game state communication technology, which has been deeply optimized in five dimensions: frame rate, power consumption, image quality, network background keep-alive, and loading speed. After testing, the OnePlus Ace 3 achieved an average frame rate of 59.3 frames per second in the daily runtime, reduced the average power consumption of the daily runtime by up to 7.9%, and shortened the first load time to 14.56s in the game. These optimizations have enabled the OnePlus Ace 3 to excel in Genshin Impact gaming performance, reaching an industry-leading level.
In addition, OnePlus Ace 3 is equipped with OnePlus's "Super Signal Engineering" + black technology of game cloud computing private network technology, with a two-year free trial, after activating the function, OnePlus Ace 3 will continue to monitor the game network conditions, when the network latency exceeds 110 milliseconds, according to the network connection mode, the optimal strategy is selected from the two acceleration schemes of "dual-channel acceleration" and "QoS acceleration" to provide network optimization, ensuring that the game experience is not affected in weak network environments, and effectively reducing the lag of weak networks and congested network environments. For example, on the subway, the network is not good from time to time on the ferry, and I often play mobile games when the frame drops and delays or even drops and is kicked out, I have encountered it before, and OnePlus Ace 3 applies"Game cloud computing private network technology",You can monitor the game network in real time,Once the delay is found, immediately match the appropriate network acceleration scheme,We can play mobile games boldly even in a weak network environment。
RedmiK70The fury engine3.0 is scheduled by AI algorithms,Also run the "Genshin Impact" game test,RedmiK70The furious engine3.0Rely on AI algorithms to schedule Redmi is still quite fierce,All of a sudden, the image quality is pulled to2K resolution,It can be seen on the frame rate curve,Basically stable at about 30 frames,But sometimes it drops to15Frames。 The OnePlus Ace 3's image quality is 1.5K resolution, and then the overall frame rate is stable at 60 fps, with occasional fluctuations and frame drops, with a minimum of 50 fps.
Although everyone is overscored, one is to play steadily and move forward, and the other is a little bit of a feeling of running wildly with all your might. It's hard to say which of these two strategies is good and which is bad, but as far as mobile games are concerned, I don't feel too much about 2K image quality and 1.5K image quality, OnePlus Ace 3's Teyvat continent is exquisite enough, and the visual effects are still very similar to PC image quality, which can be said to be in place from visual experience to operation feel. So in comparison, I personally pay more attention to the stability of the OnePlus Ace 3's frame rate, after all, the feel is more direct. Moreover, OnePlusAce 3The synthesis will be better, mainly reflected in: Super signal engineering+Game cloud computing private network+Lingxi touch, especially playing competitive mobile games like "Glory of Kings", it is more sensitive, and the signal is more stable; Tiangong cooling systemPro, the coverage is larger, and the heat dissipation is more comprehensive and efficient; Microarchitecture supercomputing engine+Memory genetic recombination2.0+New storage technology,Completely eliminate the anxiety problem of the mobile phone is not smooth enough、Insufficient storage space。
Screen, who is the king
OnePlus Ace 3: The screen is 6.78 inches in size, using 8T LTPO screen technology, achieving the industry's first peak brightness of 4500 nits, 1.07 billion color display, 100% DCI-P3 wide color gamut, and also supports 1-120hzLTPO adaptive refresh rate, whether we browse the web to read e-books or watch videos and play games, etc., we can automatically switch to the most matching refresh rate without feeling, reducing the actual energy consumption of the mobile phone.

In terms of deep hardware and software prowess, the OnePlus Ace 3 is very impressive. Because this screen is the world's first 1.5K oriental screen, equipped with a rare LTPO screen in the same class, and then combined with OnePlus's self-developed image quality engine + OPPO first-generation display chip Display P1 + high-precision pixel-level calibration algorithm, the combination of software and hardware makes the picture more granular and less impurities and noise, so the display effect is more transparent and pure, and there are obvious advantages in brightness uniformity and color accuracy. Previously, OnePlus12debut2KThe Oriental screen,Received widespread attention and praise,This time1.5KThe Oriental screen also inherits the screen quality of OnePlus12,It also obtainedDisplayMate A+ certification,support"3 EM Pulse+1 EM Pulse-like DC dimming"and"2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming",Passed Rheinland's highest level of intelligent eye protection 3.0 certification、 The National Ophthalmic Diagnosis and Treatment Research Center has tested and certified, etc., which can be called a refreshing screen experience of mobile phones of the same level.
OnePlus Ace 3 is also very good in terms of eye protection experience, such as 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming can bring a good anti-flicker effect in medium and low brightness environments, and medium and high brightness is DC-like dimming, which will not cause astringency and damage to vision when looking at mobile phones at low brightness for a long time.
OnePlus Ace 3 also allows us to operate without fear of water droplets on the screen, with the help of custom touch chips and full-link touch optimization, accurately restore finger signals, even if you just get off the court and have sweat stains on your hands to play "Peace Elite", it will not affect the character's position shooting, and the chance of winning is great.
OnePlus Ace 3 uses a more expensive ultra-thin optical fingerprint, compared to a short-throw screen fingerprint, its module is positioned a little higher, and the one-handed thumb unlocking experience is more comfortable and natural, and you can touch the recognition area without bending too much.
Redmi K70: Adopts 6.67-inch OLED straight screen, adopts LTPS technology, leaves narrow bezels around it, has 2K resolution, 120Hz screen refresh rate, 4000 nits peak brightness, and also supports 3840Hz high-frequency PWM dimming. The color display of this screen is delicate and rich, and the screen content can still be clearly seen in bright environments such as outdoor lighting, and it is more eye-friendly to watch the screen when the lights are turned off for a long time. In short, I can't find any major faults overall, and it can give us a good picture of watching movies and dramas every day.
In addition to its excellent display, the Redmi K70 also excels in eye protection. Launched the "Qingshan Eye Protection" solution to effectively reduce the blue light radiation of the screen. The high-frequency PWM dimming frequency is up to 3840Hz, and it adopts a full-scene AI dimming strategy that is rare in the industry. The use of these eye protection technologies makes this screen one of the top eye protection screens. It is worth mentioning that Redmi has also cooperated with authoritative eye hospitals to discuss in depth how to better protect their eyes.
The Redmi K70 screen performance is okay, but manual 700nit brightness and auto brightness cannot coexist. The manual maximum brightness is only 500nit in daily normal mode, and it can only be pulled to 700nit after turning on sunlight mode, and the global excitation brightness is only 1200nit.
For some friends who will subconsciously compare parameters when buying mobile phones,From the above comparison alone,It is not difficult to understand that OnePlusAce 3The screen quality is on par with RedmiK70,Some are even more outstanding,For example, in terms of screen unlocking,RedmiK70It is an ordinary short-throw fingerprint,OnePlusAce 3It is an ultra-thin fingerprint,From the perspective of cost and actual experience,The more expensive ultra-thin fingerprint is definitely more advantageous,For example, it supports wet hand unlocking、Faster unlocking, etc。 If you like a straight screen, you can consider Redmi K70, I personally prefer OnePlus Ace 3 screen, because its look will make you feel that your eyes are pleased, although the screen has a gap of 1.5K and 2K, but what you actually see with the naked eye, it is very difficult to distinguish it, after all, when you reach this resolution, the naked eye can no longer see the graininess. 3840Hz dimming is only aimed at low-light scenes, in fact, most scenes in our lives will not be triggered. In addition, combined with the above-mentioned OnePlus Ace3 8T LTPO screen technology and various measures of the medical-grade bright eye protection solution, on the whole, the screen of OnePlus Ace 3 is better in terms of eye protection and screen display, power saving, and transparency.
Take pictures, who is better
OnePlus Ace 3: Sony IMX 890 flagship main camera, 50 million pixel main camera, 1/1.56-inch outsole, F/1.88 large aperture, OIS optical image stabilization, with 112° ultra-wide-angle lens and 4cm macro lens, the software inherits the same "ultra-clear image quality algorithm" and "super light and shadow image algorithm" as OnePlus 12, exclusive photonic matrix technology. In the main camera, the same flagship Sony IMX890 as the OnePlus 11 is used, and the film background is extraordinary, so that it has flagship-level image shooting and processing capabilities, and the color presentation and detail processing can be well retained under different lighting conditions.
OnePlus Ace 3's main camera, with its large size, can bring more sufficient light intake, and it has a greater improvement in imaging performance! The overall picture color is more accurate, and the details are also very rich, so you can send it to Moments without posting. In dimly lit night scenes, the main camera still performs very well, with high clarity, well-controlled noise, and accurate color reproduction. Imaging quality, whether it's a well-lit day, or a relatively dimly lit room and at night, it results in very high-quality photos.
Redmi K70: Light and Shadow Hunter 800 sensor, 50 million pixel main camera, 1/1.55 inch, f/1.6 aperture, OIS optical image stabilization, 8 million ultra-wide angle and 2 million macro, Xiaomi image brain blessing, AI denoising algorithm. Light and shadow hunter 800This sensor is to find the domestic sensor manufacturer Haowei specially customized OV50E,On the algorithm,The flagship imaging technology continues to be devolved,K70This time it is equipped with Xiaomi image brain and night owl algorithm。
Redmi K70In the process of actual experience, it continues the consistent high continuous shooting ability, and there is no slightest drag in the process of taking photos, and the completion rate is particularly high. The imaging style is mainly based on restoring the real color of the shooting scene, and there is not much color rendering, and it also has a good performance in the depiction of details. In low-light night shots, it also handles it well, the overall control of light is relatively good, and the image purity is very high, but noise can still be seen after zooming in. However, the color performance is a little weak, and the shadow area will be darker, which can only be said to be the level that will be sufficient.
Personally, I prefer the OnePlus Ace 3's imaging style, and the Sony IMX 890 flagship main camera is very well tuned. In particular, the photos taken by OnePlus Ace 3 support Super Light and Shadow ProXDR display, which can bring higher dynamic contrast between light and dark, more accurately restore the natural light and shadow of photos, and make photos more shocking in an environment with a large light ratio. Redmi's K-series flagship has never been known for its image configuration, and the same is true for the Redmi K70.
Charging and battery life, who is better
OnePlus Ace 3 is equipped with a 5500mAh large battery + Snapdragon 8 Gen2 and 1.5K LTPO oriental screen for the optimization of screen power consumption, and its long battery life performance is also very good. In the novice battery life test database, OnePlus Ace 3 has a battery life of 8 hours and 20 minutes, ranking fifth, far behind the mid-range performance machines in the same price range, which shows the strong battery life performance of OnePlus Ace 3.
In addition to the super battery life, OnePlus Ace 3 is also equipped with a longevity version of 100W wired flash charging, which adopts a new DC architecture, which no longer needs to go through the charge pump step-down conversion, which also makes the charging efficiency reach 99% in the industry, and there is almost no power loss: 27% in 5 minutes, 52% in 10 minutes, 73% in 15 minutes, 89% in 20 minutes, and 100% in 25 minutes. Even if you forget to charge at night, you can use a short time to wash up and eat breakfast when you get up the next day to quickly replenish the battery.
Moreover, OnePlus Ace 3 not only has a fast charging speed when the screen is on, but also maintains a high charging power when the screen is on, so that when charging while playing games, it will not lose power after a while like other brand models. In addition, OnePlus Ace 3 is also equipped with intelligent battery health algorithm and bionic repair electrolyte technology, which can greatly reduce battery capacity loss and extend battery life, so that the battery capacity is still greater than or equal to 80% after 4 years and 1600 charging and discharging cycles.
In terms of battery life, the OnePlus Ace 3 has a large 5,500mAh battery built, while the Redmi K70 has a 5,000mAh battery. Although the charging power of the Redmi K70 is as high as 120W, the OnePlus Ace 3's 100W fast charging is not slow! This is still quite practical for friends who are often away from home.
Charging battery life, you can see that Redmi K70 and OnePlus Ace 3 Although there is a difference between 120W and 100W in the charger, it is almost the same when it is actually fully charged, Redmi K70 takes 23 minutes, OnePlus Ace 3 takes 25 minutes, and OnePlus Ace 3 has a larger battery capacity and more powerful battery life, even if the battery capacity is still ≥80% after 1600 charging and discharging cycles, the battery is still very durable after 4 years of use. In addition to the difference in charging and battery life, the OnePlus Ace 3 also supports fast charging while playing and adaptation to low-temperature environments, even in cold northern regions, OnePlus Ace 3 has a better charging speed in low-temperature environments.
epilogue
In terms of functionality, both models are at the top of their price range. Infrared, NFC, Dual Yang, X-axis linear motor, Dual-band GPS, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.3 are all available.
To sum up,If you mind the difference between the parameters of the 1.5K screen and the 2K screen,And you are also a loyal rice fan,Then there is no problem in choosing Redmi K70。 If you are more concerned about the advantages of the screen, such as comprehensive eye protection, image performance, battery life, and ultra-thin fingerprint unlocking, then the OnePlus Ace 3, which has a more comprehensive overall quality, is a better choice. In the end, Xiao Ai chose OnePlus Ace 3 under my Amway, especially when the price of the two is very close, the quality-price ratio of OnePlus Ace 3 is still higher.
The 2024 Goods Festival has begun, and OnePlus Ace 3 up to 12 interest-free installments. If you're planning to buy a new phone or are looking for a cost-effective phone at the 3K price point, the OnePlus Ace 3 is undoubtedly an option worth considering.
