The OnePlus Ace will debut in China this week, potentially as an exclusive to the region. Official previews are already live on OnePlus’s website, and industry insider Evan Blass has also revealed images of the Ace and Nord CE 2 Lite.

The OnePlus Ace mirrors the Realme GT Neo3’s specifications. It sports flat edges, a distinctive “cyclops” camera layout on a large housing, and a stylish pinstripe pattern on its back. The display is a 6.7-inch AMOLED panel with 120Hz refresh rate and 1080P resolution, featuring a centrally positioned punch-hole camera.

Under the hood, it is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8100 chipset and a 4500mAh battery. The Ace supports 80W and 150W ultra-fast charging, delivering lightning-quick recharging speeds.

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G, on the other hand, features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor paired with a 4500mAh battery and 33W fast charging. It offers up to 8GB RAM and 256GB storage.

Its 6.58-inch IPS LCD display supports 120Hz refresh rate and 1080P resolution. The rear camera setup includes a 64MP main lens, a 2MP macro camera, and a 2MP depth sensor. On paper, the Nord CE 2 Lite appears to be a rebranded version of the Realme 9 Pro.

The OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite is expected to launch next week, following the Ace’s unveiling. Both models reflect OnePlus’s trend of leveraging Realme’s designs for its mid-range offerings.
