OnePlus has announced the Ace 7 series, made up of two gaming-oriented phones: the Ace 7 and the Ace 7 Pro. Some believe the standard Ace 7 will be rebadged as the OnePlus 16R for markets outside China. The headline feature of both phones is a built-in cooling fan designed to keep powerful chipsets running cooler during long gaming sessions.
The Ace 7 Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, paired with either 12GB or 16GB of RAM. Storage starts at 256GB and goes up to 1TB. Its 6.78-inch LTPO display reaches a 185Hz refresh rate in select supported games, while standard apps cap at 165Hz, with granular control from 1Hz to 165Hz. The camera system includes a 200MP main sensor with an f/1.8 aperture and a 50MP telephoto unit offering 3.5x optical zoom. There is no ultrawide camera, likely due to space constraints. The fan uses a dual-airflow design with two intakes and two grilles, with vents placed on the camera island rather than the side frame. A 9,000 mAh battery supports up to 100W charging via Oppo's Super VOOC standard. The phone also carries IP66, IP68, IP69 and IP69K ratings.
The Ace 7 is largely the same device with some downgrades. It uses a toned-down Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 V series chipset with the same CPU but a split GPU that offers lower performance. The telephoto camera is replaced by an 8MP ultrawide camera, and the fan drops the bi-directional airflow.
Pricing starts at CNY 4,799 (~$715) for the Ace 7 Pro's 12GB/256GB configuration, while the Ace 7 starts at CNY 4,399 (~$655) for its 12GB/256GB model.
