Design and display

The OnePlus Ace 3V has a new design this time. Instead of a circular camera module on the back, OnePlus opted for a traditional vertical camera module, which looks much better. However, not everyone may agree as designs are very subjective. The side frame is also flat this time, unlike the curves of previous OnePlus Ace smartphones.

Combine all that with a nearly bezel-less display on the front and you have a smartphone with a spectacular design, which is further complemented by its purple and gray colors. The smartphone is protected with an IP65 rating for protection against dust and water. You will also find the iconic alert slider on this smartphone. The OnePlus Ace 3V also has an extremely bezel-less display with uniformity all around.

Talking about the display, the new smartphone features a 6.74-inch AMOLED display with support for a high refresh rate of 120Hz. This display comes with a resolution of 1.5K and can feature up to 1 billion colors. The screen brightness can reach up to 2150 nits in sunlight, so using the smartphone outdoors will not be a problem. All in all, it is a fantastic display and watching content on the screen will be a pleasure.

Memory and internal

OnePlus equipped the OnePlus Ace 3V with the recently launched Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 5G chipset. This chipset is capable of reaching a clock speed of 1×2.8 GHz. In terms of performance, the chipset will run quickly with any application or game. This chipset may not be as fast as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, but it’s closer than you think. For gaming, the Adreno 732 GPU will take care of all your gaming needs. Therefore, playing games like PUBGm, Summoners War, CODm, and Genshin Impact at their highest settings will not be a problem.

The smartphone also supports 5G connectivity for gigabit speeds. The smartphone also comes with Android 14 out of the box along with a ColorOS 14 UI for greater customization support. In terms of memory and storage, the OnePlus Ace 3V is available for purchase with up to 12GB/16GB of RAM and 256GB/512GB of fast UFS 4.0 internal storage.

Camera

The OnePlus Ace 3V features a 50MP dual rear camera setup. The main rear camera consists of a 50MP sensor, which is properly optimized to capture more light. Therefore, it is capable of taking excellent photographs with high dynamic range, higher levels of detail and saturated colors. Detail levels are comparable to flagship smartphones.

This detailed level of camera performance can also be seen during night photography. As you know, the sensor is optimized to capture more light than ever, which when combined with the night mode algorithm allows for stellar performance. This camera sensor manages to enhance every photo you take at night with improved levels of detail.

The second camera on this smartphone is an 8MP ultra-wide camera and it takes pretty average pictures. The level of detail just isn’t on the same page as its main camera and there is a bit of color shift compared to the main sensor. But considering the price of the smartphone, it is acceptable. However, there is no telephoto camera.

On the front, the smartphone has a 16MP selfie camera that can capture great selfies with natural colors and skin tones. When it comes to video recording, the rear camera can record videos at 4K@60FPS while the selfie camera can record at a maximum resolution of 1080P@30FPS. The videos from the rear camera are stabilized with OIS and gyro-EIS, so the footage will be stable.

Battery and others

The OnePlus Ace 3V has a high-capacity 5500 mAh battery that can keep this smartphone going for at least 1 to 3 days with light to medium usage, including camera, music, and a bit of social media. Three days of battery life can be obtained with lighter use. But if you are a heavy user or play a lot of games, the battery will drain much faster and won’t last a full day.

Plus, if you use 5G to play games, download movies, or other content, your battery will also drain faster. But the smartphone supports 100W super fast wired charging. This charger can fully charge the smartphone in just 26 minutes. However, there is no support for wireless charging capability.

Apart from that, the smartphone supports dual-band Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, an under-display fingerprint sensor, stereo speakers, NFC, and a USB Type-C connector for charging. The smartphone will start at $287 (Rs 23,999 in India) approximately.

Conclusion

The OnePlus Ace 3V smartphone has provided what other smartphones have not been able to do in the $300 price range. This is a price range that used to be very competitive but now the same cannot be said. The OnePlus Ace 3V is finally changing that, at least in China. But if it can do the same with its international market, then OnePlus has a real chance to revolutionize this market. We believe that the OnePlus Ace 3V certainly has the necessary specifications and features. It has an attractive design that is sure to impress many people. The screen is also flagship level and can be used outdoors without any problem.

The chipset used in the Ace 3V smartphone is one of the most powerful in this price range and a great option for gamers. The cameras are also quite good and comparable to OnePlus’ most expensive smartphone, the OnePlus 12R. The battery life is even better and it charges at extreme speed. The best alternative to this smartphone would be the Vivo iQOO Z9 Turbo, which comes with decent specifications in the same price range. However, the final decision is up to you, so it is better to choose a smartphone based on your needs and requirements.
