OnePlus Ace Pro Review

After returning to OPPO, OnePlus has made great changes in product strategy.
The two mobile phones brought by OnePlus in the first half of this year are the OnePlus 10 Pro and the OnePlus Ace. The former is a standard high-end flagship, and the latter is a disruptor in the mid-range market. The positioning of the two mobile phones is clear and does not interfere with each other.
In the second half of the year, it was customary to launch a new product of the OnePlus digital series with a modified tail mark, but this time, OnePlus brought OnePlus Ace Pro based on OnePlus Ace, named OnePlus Ace Pro, but the whole machine There are shadows of OnePlus 10 Pro everywhere.

Using the appearance of OnePlus 10 Pro, it also added the standard configuration of flagship mobile phones in the second half of the year. Where is OnePlus Ace Pro, maybe it should be more reasonable to call OnePlus 10 game version.
The release of the above products all show that the current OnePlus can no longer use the slogan of only being the flagship. After all, the market will accept you if you follow the needs of the market to manufacture products. The reason for the hot new machine.
For this OnePlus Ace Pro, the model we received is the 16+512G blue fog color matching version, so all the following content is based on the situation of this version. The specific configuration parameters of OnePlus Ace Pro are as follows:

1. Performance

As the only mobile phone that may be launched by OnePlus in the second half of 2022, the processor on the OnePlus Ace Pro is obviously the latest Snapdragon 8+. After all, for OnePlus products, performance is never lacking. .
OnePlus Ace Pro Review: Under The Flagship, The Game Comes First-3
The running score of OnePlus Ace Pro this time is 1108724 points, the CPU score is 261808, and the GPU score is 468946; in the storage test, the random read speed is 1912.9MB/s, and the random write speed is 1714.0MB/s. The score is 80997 points; the AI running score is 3080526 points.
The score of about 110W is the normal level of the Snapdragon 8+, which is also the average line. This time the OnePlus Ace Pro’s running score is the one that I ran after I got the phone without any special environment and temperature control. It is also very good to have such a performance. Of course, if you have a higher pursuit of scores, lowering the temperature or lowering the ambient temperature can improve the running score by tens of thousands, but this approach actually reflects the actual situation. The mobile phone experience is minimal, only for those users who have obsessive-compulsive disorder for running points.

2. Appearance

On the outer box, OnePlus still uses its own iconic vertical strip scheme. The red box and the black model are marked very clearly, but I personally think that it is already at this time. Is it a little bit to have the word 5G on the new machine? redundant? Of course this is purely personal opinion.

In addition to the mobile phone body, the mobile phone box is also equipped with accessories such as 160W charging head, data cable, and the same color matching silicone case of the mobile phone.

The silicone case that comes with it feels very good, and it is the same color as the mobile phone itself, which is more comfortable to use. This is worthy of praise. Not to mention environmental protection, users spend money to buy a mobile phone, and the things that should be matched must be match.
The volume of the 160W fast charging head is not large, which is similar to the 60+W charging head of some manufacturers. It can be seen that the current mobile phones are really working hard in fast charging. Another point to mention is the OnePlus charging head. They are all double C-mount designs, which are very respectful.
The front of the OnePlus Ace Pro uses a custom 6.7-inch ultra-narrow bezel straight screen with a left and right bezel width of 1.47mm, a screen ratio of 93.4%, a resolution of 1080×2412, 394 PPI, a contrast ratio of 1000000:1, and a screen type: 2.5 D flexible OLED, screen refresh rate 60/90/120Hz adjustable in three gears, typical brightness 500nit, 800nit in sunlight, local peak brightness 950nit.

Straight screen is an increasingly rare configuration in the current high-end mobile phone market. This time, OnePlus has injected a fresh vitality into the direct screen market of Snapdragon 8+.
In terms of lens configuration, OnePlus Ace Pro is equipped with three lenses, which are:

Main camera: 50 million pixels, IMX766, 1/1.56″, 1µm, 6P, f/1.88, support OIS optical image stabilization, adopt closed-loop focusing motor, support AF, 84.3° FOV, equivalent focal length 23.6mm, effective focal length 5.59 mm

Yes, it is also the very familiar IMX766 main camera of Green Factory, so you can be completely assured in terms of optical quality and photography.

In the design of the back shell of the mobile phone, the one we got is called Qingwu, which is a more representative color scheme of OnePlus mobile phones. The light green design gives the overall temperament of the phone a little elegant taste. The back shell is made of the industry’s first celadon-glazed glass technology, which can make the glass show a jade-like texture like ceramics. When placed on the table top, it looks like a natural jade.
The thickness of the whole machine is 8.75mm and the weight is 203.5g. The thickness is good, but it would be better if the weight can be controlled within 200g, but fortunately, the back shell of the fuselage is handled very well. It has a rounded corner processor, so it will not feel very heavy in the hand, which is a feature that OnePlus has used for a long time.

3. Game

One of the main features of the previous generation of OnePlus Ace is games. This time the suffix is added with Pro, the processor has been upgraded with Snapdragon 8+ and the industry-leading 5177mm² super large VC heat dissipation area has been added. Large-scale gaming experience can have a cool and cool experience.

In the actual game experience, “Peace Elite” is played for 30 minutes, the game picture quality supports the 90-frame mode, the power consumption of OnePlus Ace Pro is 9%, the maximum temperature of the front screen of the mobile phone is 37.2°, and the maximum temperature of the rear shell is 35.4°, the frame rate is stable at 60 frames without pressure.
OnePlus Ace Pro Review: Under The Flagship, The Game Comes First-15
The “Peace Elite” in the state of 60 frames for 30 minutes, whether it is temperature control or power consumption, has a consumption close to 60 frames of the game, which is really due to the manufacturer’s total adjustment ability in terms of software and hardware.
In another mobile phone performance “professional test” game “Genshin Impact”, the same 30 minutes of game time, the game picture quality is all turned on to the highest and 60 frames, the power consumption of OnePlus Ace Pro is 20%, and the maximum temperature of the front screen of the mobile phone is 44.1°, and the maximum temperature of the rear case is 41.0°.

The power consumption of 20% is undoubtedly high for Snapdragon 8+ mobile phones, even higher than some gaming phones. The reason for this is that when I open the game, the battery is already left. 29%, which belongs to the low power mode. In this mode, the power consumption of high-intensity games will naturally be faster.

However, although the power consumption is high, thanks to the addition of the HyperBoost game frame stabilization engine, the entire game experience process is very comfortable. The official average frame rate of 810P image quality for 1 hour is 59.3, although our test does not have 1 hour, But the half-hour experience of the big world can be regarded as part of its strength.
This aspect of the game is a very important point for the OnePlus Ace Pro. It launched the 120-frame mode of the League of Legends mobile game on the Android side, and it is also the designated machine for the 2022 Peace Elite Professional League, as well as the second League of Legends mobile game. It is the designated machine for professional league events. During the product promotion period, it also carried out joint promotion with many popular mobile games. Game manufacturers will not promote a product that cannot meet the needs of their own game scenarios, so it can be said that although OnePlus Ace Pro There is no appearance of a gaming phone, but the inside is definitely the heart of a gaming phone.

4. Battery Life And Fast Charging

The OnePlus Ace Pro battery life and OnePlus Ace Pro game test has been given in our site. You can use it as a reference. The only big power consumers in the daily use scene are videos.
After 1 hour of movie playback, the battery consumption of OnePlus Ace Pro dropped from 15% to 9%, the power consumption was 6%, the video brightness was adjusted to the highest, and the test was performed in external mode.

For 30 minutes of Douyin playback, the battery consumption of OnePlus Ace Pro is 4%, the brightness is also adjusted to the highest, and the power consumption is also normal.

The movie test starts when the remaining power is 15%, and it is already in low power mode. In this case, it is excellent to consume only 6% of the power in 1 hour. Bullets Fly” should still have remaining power, which will not cause the phone to shut down naturally.
In terms of charging, OnePlus Ace Pro uses a 150W long-life version of super flash charging, the battery cell has been increased from 3C to 7C, the charging speed is faster, and the battery capacity is dual-cell 4800mAh.
After actual measurement, it can be charged when the remaining power is 1%, it can be charged to 65% in 10 minutes, and it can be fully charged to 100% in 18 minutes, which is 1 minute faster than the official advertised 19 minutes. According to this The charging performance can indeed achieve the game experience of 1 minute of charging and 1 black game.

In terms of fast charging, OnePlus Ace Pro has brought a new smart charging engine this time, which can AI learn users’ charging habits during daily charging, and provide charging modes according to charging scenarios: extreme speed mode, temperature control mode and ground temperature mode , allowing users to feel that they can enjoy “customized exclusive services” even when charging, and effectively improve the cycle life of the battery.

5. Photography

Compared with the efforts in games, fast charging and heat dissipation, the OnePlus Ace Pro is a bit stuck in taking pictures. The main camera is the same as the OnePlus Ace, IMX766, although the two sub-cameras have been replaced by other brands, But neither the function nor the pixels have changed, and the 2-megapixel make-up lens on a Snapdragon 8+ flagship always seems a little out of place.
But fortunately, there is OPPO’s consistent quality, so the performance of straight out proofs is still remarkable.

As can be seen from the proofs, bright and rich are the most intuitive expressions of the camera’s photos, but the edge sharpening is not so obvious, otherwise the photos will look like pixel paintings. In the bright sun, OnePlus Ace Pro The processor for highlights is not very good. You can clearly feel that the flower is a little overexposed. It would be nice if you could suppress some highlights at this time.
However, when shooting fruit, the sample performance is much better, which is in line with the perception of our human eyes, and the green processing is also more comfortable.
The OnePlus Ace Pro is not equipped with a telephoto lens. The telephoto shots are all cropped from pixels, so the expectations of this part of the individual are not very high. The proofs of the different focal lengths of the machine are as follows:
0.6x zoom:

1x zoom:

5x zoom:
OnePlus Ace Pro Review: Under The Flagship, The Game Comes First-28
10x zoom:
OnePlus Ace Pro Review: Under The Flagship, The Game Comes First-29
The most obvious point here is that when switching from 0.6x ultra-wide-angle to 1x zoom, the camera adjustment is actually OK, and there is no lag, but in the proofs, only the degrees of the two ultra-wide-angle are different. There are two photos with completely different tones. It is too bright when it is 0.6 times, and it is dark when it is 1 times. This is because the mobile phone software is not optimized, and it should be dealt with when the subsequent system upgrades.
Night View
In terms of night scene proofs, the imaging of the OnePlus Ace Pro is quite satisfactory, and there are not too many surprises. Although OPPO products are familiar with the IMX766, no matter how hard the hardware is limited, no matter how the software is improved, it will be different from the good things.

In the night scene, the processing of the sky is still good, there is not too much noise, it looks very clean, and the surrounding intricate light sources are also controlled reasonably, and there is no blurring.
On the other building, I like the overall light performance, because it looks very soft, and it just covers the entire building. It looks a bit like a museum shot, which is a small surprise.
OnePlus Ace Pro has no Hasselblad logo on the camera, nor OPPO’s Mariana X chip, and even the lens configuration is stagnant. From this point of view, the official positioning of it is not to take pictures, so If you are a user who has high expectations for taking pictures, the OnePlus Ace Pro may not be suitable for you, and if your demand is a gaming experience, then the OnePlus Ace Pro with a direct-screen 150W fast charge is definitely a very good one in the current market. s Choice.

Summary

Many users may have the same mentality as me. It is a bit regretful to see the current product line and situation of this plus. After all, when this brand first appeared, it was a benchmarking existence in the hearts of overseas market and domestic geek players. Because its maverick is different from other brands in any time period, and even if CEO Liu Zuohu has a bragging factor every time he promotes a new machine, we as spectators will not have much reaction. Because at that time, OnePlus also had some points that could be called bragging.
OnePlus Ace Pro Review: Under The Flagship, The Game Comes First-32
But after returning to OPPO, many features of OnePlus were lost. The original exclusive Hasselblad was also taken away by OPPO. Instead, OPPO did not even give OnePlus its own Mariana X, but this also explained one thing. The OnePlus brand is lower than the OPPO flagship in the OPPO product line, so the next thing is logical.
OnePlus Ace Pro is still a product that is not so OnePlus, but if you think about its name, think of it as a product launched by the OPPO Ace product line in the past, so is it more reasonable and more comfortable? Woolen cloth? Because this is the current positioning of OnePlus phones.
