ORIGINAL ARTICLE: The OnePlus Ace is the company’s upcoming smartphone. The launch date and design of the OnePlus Ace have just been confirmed, officially.
The OnePlus Ace launch date & design have been confirmed
OnePlus confirmed, via its official Weibo account, that the phone is coming. The company shared a poster, and on it (shown below), you can clearly see that April 21 is highlighted. The company also mentioned that the event will kick off at 7PM local time.
The OnePlus Ace will also be launched as the OnePlus 10R in India, and possibly some other markets. Based on their design, both devices are essentially the rebranded Realme GT Neo 2, which launched back in March. All of this may be a bit confusing, but there you go. Realme is a part of the BBK Electronics brand, it started as a company under OPPO, and OPPO is owned by BBK Electronics. We’re already used to things like this. You can clearly see that the phone will have flat sides, all around, and that its volume up and down buttons will sit on the left-hand side. The power / lock button will be included on the right, while the alert slider is nowhere to be found.
Three cameras will sit on the back, as expected
Three cameras will sit on the back of the phone, and it’s quite obvious which is the main one, as that sensor is a lot larger than the other two. OnePlus’ branding is clearly visible on the back, while the back camera island does protrude a bit. The device will almost certainly be made out of metal and glass, in case you were wondering. It will have a flat display, with extremely thin bezels, and a centered display camera hole. These devices are coming in Sierra Black, Green, and Arctic Glow colors, it seems, as per XDA Developers. The Arctic Glow will remain exclusive to China, though, it seems, so only the OnePlus Ace will offer it. As a reminder, the OnePlus 10R is expected to become official on April 28. So, both iterations will be launched in April, but at different times, and under different names. There may be a couple of differences in regards to internals, but not much.
