2024 can be called the "first year of AI mobile phones", and all manufacturers have begun to invest heavily in the AI track, but because AI computing requires high-performance CPU and GPU support, high research and development costs and technical difficulties, so in the early stage, users can basically only experience the practical functions of voice recognition and text summary on high-end flagship models priced at 5000 to 6000 yuan or even higher.
On March 21, OnePlus's new Ace 3V was officially released, and it can be seen from the product name that this is a mid-range product that continues to prioritize performance. However, the main selling point of this Ace 3V is not only the upgrade of performance, screen, battery life, etc., but also the further popularization of global AI capabilities to the mid-range price point, and is committed to becoming the first AI mobile phone for young people. We also got this product in advance, let's try it together.
Performance: The third-generation Snapdragon 7+ is powered by AI to enhance the gaming experience
Since OnePlus Ace 3V wants to popularize the AI experience, the performance configuration must be excellent. Unlike the second-generation Snapdragon 7+, the Snapdragon 8+ architecture continues. The world's first third-generation Snapdragon 7+ 5G mobile platform has completed the "architecture leapfrogging", and the third-generation Snapdragon 8, the top flagship chip, uses the same process, so it is also known as a "small 8Gen 3", with performance close to the flagship while reducing power consumption.
In terms of memory, OnePlus Ace 3V did not leave the 8GB version in order to get stuck at a low price, but used the full-blooded version of LPDDR5X + UFS4.0 flagship memory specifications + 12GB + 256GB memory to start, up to 16GB + 512GB large memory version. The large memory not only improves the smoothness of daily use, but also allows large models to be loaded and run more smoothly, thus improving the efficiency of AI computing.
The hardcore configuration and the aggressive tuning strategy of the previous Plus make people more curious about the actual performance of the Ace 3V. After standard environmental testing, the Antutu V10 of the machine has a 1515345 running score, and its performance is more outstanding in mid-range mobile phones.
In the actual game scene, the OnePlus Ace 3V ran "Genshin Impact" Sumeru City in a very high image quality environment of +60 fps for 30 minutes, and the average frame rate could reach 58.9 fps, and the overall experience was smooth, with only a few frame rate fluctuations in some screen changes and battle scenes. This is thanks to the built-in HyperBoost 2.0 game frame stabilization engine, which uses AI computing power to intelligently schedule resources for the scene to ensure that the frame rate is full, which brings a full-frame gaming experience that is difficult for other mid-range mobile phones to do.
Thanks to the built-in aerospace-grade "Tiangong cooling system", the OnePlus Ace 3V has been tested for 1 hour, and the body temperature is only 42 degrees Celsius, which is not hot to hold.
It is worth noting that OnePlus Ace 3V has developed many "black technologies" for gaming scenarios, further improving the game image quality, frame rate, and touch experience. In addition to the above-mentioned HyperBoost 2.0 game frame stabilization engine, flagship features such as Lingxi Touch are also not absent, and Super HDR image quality can make the sky in Genshin Impact brighter and more natural.
In addition, many OnePlus users are not absent from the game cloud computing private network, and the system will automatically select the appropriate network acceleration scheme in weak network environments, and crowded environments such as elevators and stations can also ensure stable and smooth games.
Battery life: 5500mAh large battery AI extends the use of the machine
Battery life has always been one of the core pain points of mid-range performance mobile phone users, and OnePlus Ace 3V has a built-in 5500mAh large-capacity battery, coupled with the latest AI battery life management technology, the third-generation Snapdragon 7+ mobile platform with excellent power consumption, SUPERVOOC S power management chip and other "black technologies", so that the time spent on the machine can be used to a higher level.
We put the OnePlus Ace 3V through a five-hour heavy autonomy test at normal room temperature, with the display set to FHD+120Hz (Adaptive), auto-brightness, and performance in Standard mode, including the following:
Play the game in full screen for 30 minutes;
Watch iQIYI movies for 90 minutes;
Enter Douyin to brush the video for 60 minutes;
Enter the Taobao homepage and slide for 30 minutes;
Today's headlines brush the news for 30 minutes;
Record 1080P 30 fps video, 15 minutes of recording, default main camera takes 15 minutes, total 30 minutes;
QQ music plays on the screen for 30 minutes.
After the test, OnePlus Ace 3V has 70% of the battery left, which has surpassed many high-end flagships.
In order to quickly replenish power, OnePlus Ace 3V supports 100W long-life flash charging, and the built-in AI smart charging management system also has two core technologies: "intelligent scene recognition" and "intelligent environmental perception", which are designed to ensure efficient and fast charging, while dynamically selecting the most suitable charging solution according to the user's personalized charging scenarios and habits to achieve the optimal charging effect.
According to actual measurements, 100W longevity flash charging can fill up the power of the mobile phone in about 21 minutes, don't forget that this is a mid-range product, and it is really rare to have such a blood recovery speed.
With such a battery life and fast charging experience, the OnePlus Ace 3V can not only save you from "battery life anxiety" during work, but also allow you to go up for hours on end during vacations.
Appearance: Simple design is not simple High-definition straight screen to care for eye health
OnePlus phones are all about texture, and the OnePlus Ace 3V does not continue the Deco design of its predecessors, but changes to a more minimalist "slotted" design, with two lenses and a symmetrical arrangement of the flash.
In order to ensure a comfortable feel, the back panel of the OnePlus Ace 3V is made of glass, which is rare in the same class, and the stainless steel lens protection ring and aluminum alloy base in the rear camera module area are sturdy and reliable.
OnePlus's classic design"Three-stage switch"It is placed on the left side of the phone,But this point is worth saying:The OnePlus Ace 2The three-stage switch that the author is holding now is on the right side of the phone,When holding the phone with the right hand, you can reach it with your thumb,The operation is more accustomed;But now the three-stage light is placed in the upper left corner,The index finger is not so easy to toggle,But it is convenient for friends who are used to left-handed computers。
In terms of color matching, the OnePlus Ace 3V has prepared two colors for users: Phantom Purple Silver and Titanium Air Gray, the Phantom Purple Silver color scheme uses a metallic sand glass process to glow the flagship metallic texture, while what we got is a titanium air gray color, which looks more rustic, but the gray paint surface can also diffuse a high-gloss metallic luster, plus a micro-arc curve frame, the feel is also silky.
Flipping to the front of the phone, the front of the OnePlus Ace 3V uses a 1.5K AMOLED HD 120Hz high-brush straight screen, and the local peak brightness can reach 2150nit. As you can see from the image below, the bezels of this unit are also well handled, with a narrow "chin".
After the parameters of the screen are up, dimming, low blue light, these eye protection configurations are more concerned by consumers, and OnePlus Ace 3V, this straight screen is equipped with a flagship-level eye protection solution, which not only supports 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, but also brings natural light display, high-precision AI brightness adjustment and other functions, reducing harmful low blue light, and ensuring a comfortable look at night.
Image: high-quality main camera + flagship image algorithm Software and hardware collaboration to help you produce films
In terms of imaging, the OnePlus Ace 3V is equipped with a 50-megapixel OIS main camera with an IMX882 sensor and a 1/1.95-inch and f/1.8 aperture, which can cope with the daily shooting needs of multiple scenes with the blessing of the third-generation Snapdragon 7+ mobile platform. Paired with the hardware, there are also two flagship algorithms, the ultra-clear image quality algorithm and the ultra-light and shadow image algorithm, which work together to make the colors shot more vivid and vivid.
Let's take a look at the samples:

In my personal experience, the OnePlus Ace 3V's main camera doesn't have the usual "full contrast" perception of similar mid-range devices, and the weather gradually turned cloudy on the day of shooting, so the blue and gray colors are closer to reality, and the actual shooting delay is shorter. It can be seen that the architectural details in the main film during the day have been relatively well preserved, and the contrast between light and dark is obvious.

Finally, let's take a brief look at the OnePlus Ace 3V's system and more useful AI features. OnePlus Ace 3V comes pre-installed with the ColorOS 14 operating system, which brings the ability to set arbitrary capture and on-demand relay for global fusion creation, and also focuses on optimizing fluency, let's experience it.
When taking pictures, there may be occasional passers-by in the picture, and the footage that has been worked hard for a long time is so wasted, and it is too troublesome to PS on the computer. The ColorOS 14 system can eliminate passers-by with the help of AI large models, and just circle the object you want to eliminate will automatically help you retouch the picture, so you don't waste wonderful moments.
In our daily study and work, we occasionally need to open some professional files, and sometimes the PS files forget to export them as pictures, so we can only look at the engineering files in a hurry. The OnePlus Ace 3V comes pre-installed with the ColorOS 14 operating system, which has a built-in file opening function, which already supports key, numbers, pages, CAD, and markdown formats.
For young people, OnePlus Ace 3V also brings special AI capability optimization, which can simulate real interview scenarios, provide knowledge quizzes, or summarize the content of article outlines, etc., so that rich AI computing power can empower learning and creation.
The ColorOS 14 system also brings a system-level flash cutout function, we can long press the image subject we want to identify in the picture, and you can extract the image subject from the photo, copy it to other apps or save it directly as a picture, or further cooperate with the transfer station function, and quickly share it with other devices with the same account.
summary
In the official promotional materials, the OnePlus Ace 3V is a confident work that challenges the "mid-range eight crowns", and in the actual experience, its upgrades are also implemented in all aspects of the experience. Not only that, the rich AI functions have achieved leapfrog improvement in multiple application scenarios such as intelligent recognition, voice interaction, and image processing, becoming the first AI mobile phone for young people.
