OnePlus will soon launch the OnePlus Ace 2V smartphone in China, slated to launch on March 7 at 2:30 CST. The brand has already begun teasing details regarding this device. Now, the company has confirmed that the device will be powered by the Dimensity 9000.

The Dimensity 9000 chipset, launched by MediaTek in 2021 to compete with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, gives flagship-grade performance and great efficiency. Recently, the Ace 2V smartphone was evaluated on AnTuTu benchmarking and its performance was compared to the OnePlus Ace 2 that has a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor.

Results showed that it lagged 9% behind in overall performance while CPU performance was almost equal. However, when it comes to GPU performance, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 offers 12% more power.

Additionally, the company revealed that the device will feature a new heat dissipation system made from “ultra-high-performance graphite” that covers an area of 4129mm2.

Recent teasers have given us an idea of what the device will look like. The new OnePlus Ace 2V is thought to feature a trendy boxy design with refined aluminum edges, which is typically seen in top-tier models. Additionally, it will bring back the well-known alert slider that has been absent in recent mid-range releases from the company.

It has been speculated that the OnePlus Ace 2V will feature a 6.74-inch AMOLED screen with 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. The device will be operated by a Dimensity 9000 chipset, along with 16 GB of LPDDR5x RAM and a maximum of 512 GB UFS 3.1 capacity. It is also said to have a 5,000mAh battery that supports 80W quick charging.

Rumors suggest the OnePlus Ace 2V will be equipped with a 16-megapixel selfie camera and a triple rear camera system composed of a 64-megapixel main lens with image stabilization, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide angle lens, and a 2-megapixel macro lens. It is said to run on Android 13 OS along with ColorOS 13 preinstalled. Additionally, it is speculated that the device may be renamed as the Nord 3 when marketed globally.
