New Delhi, Oct 31(APAC Media): OnePlus has launched its Ace 7 series in China, offering a possible preview of the next R-series smartphone for India. The new lineup includes the OnePlus Ace 7 and Ace 7 Pro, both featuring 9,000mAh batteries, 200MP primary cameras and high-refresh-rate AMOLED displays.
The launch is also significant for Indian buyers as the Ace series has previously served as the foundation for OnePlus R-series phones. The Ace 2, Ace 3 and Ace 5 were followed by the OnePlus 11R, 12R and 13R, respectively. This raises the possibility of the Ace 7 arriving in India as the OnePlus 16R. However, the company has not confirmed an India launch or the name of the upcoming device.
OnePlus Ace 7 And Ace 7 Pro Prices
The OnePlus Ace 7 starts at CNY 4,399 (approximately Rs 63,000), while the Ace 7 Pro starts at CNY 4,799 (approximately Rs 69,000). Both smartphones will go on sale in China on November 3.
The new models also come with a significant price increase over their predecessors. The standard Ace 7 costs CNY 1,800 more than the Ace 6’s starting price, while the Pro variant sees a CNY 2,200 increase over the previous generation.
OnePlus Ace 7 Specifications And India Launch
Both smartphones feature a 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a refresh rate of up to 185Hz, a 9,000mAh battery and 100W wired charging. They also include integrated cooling fans, Wi-Fi 7, ultrasonic fingerprint sensors and IP66, IP68, IP69 and IP69K ratings.
The standard Ace 7 runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 V Series processor, while the Pro model gets the regular Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. Both feature a 200MP primary camera, but the Pro adds a 50MP periscope telephoto camera with 3.5x optical zoom.
OnePlus has not confirmed whether these specifications will reach India. The recently launched OnePlus 15R, for instance, features a 7,400mAh battery and 80W charging, compared with the China-exclusive Ace 6’s 7,800mAh battery and 120W charging.
A similar difference could apply to the next R-series smartphone. Indian buyers may therefore have to wait for an official announcement to know whether the OnePlus 16R will retain the Ace 7’s battery capacity, camera setup and processor.
