OnePlus Ace5 Pro: The 2024 Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Leading Performance Flagship with Unbeatable Price-Performance Ratio, Starting at 3399

The launch of the OnePlus Ace5 Pro breaks with the traditional practice of releasing Pro versions later in the year, seizing the first-mover advantage in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 performance flagship market. With a starting price of 3399, it becomes the most cost-effective Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 phone to date, standing out significantly among its similarly specced competitors. The OnePlus Ace series has always focused on performance, prioritizing practicality and efficiency while eschewing unnecessary features. The Ace5 Pro continues this tradition, further optimizing its design, particularly for gamers, with an "All-in Gaming" philosophy, creating a performance flagship built for gaming.

I. Hardware Specifications: Flagship Configuration, Powerful Performance

The OnePlus Ace5 Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform, complemented by up to 16GB of LPDDR5T RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage. Compared to the LPDDR5X RAM in the OnePlus 13, the Ace5 Pro boasts a significant speed upgrade, ensuring higher memory throughput for demanding game scenarios.

For the display, the OnePlus Ace5 Pro debuts a 1.5K second-generation BOE screen, sharing the same lineage as the OnePlus 13's 2K BOE display and ranking among the best domestic 1.5K screens available. It supports 3 Pulse-width modulation (PWM) dimming and 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, achieving industry-leading brightness and color stability at low brightness levels.

The phone houses a large 6100mAh battery incorporating 10% silicon-based battery technology. This maintains a substantial battery capacity while keeping the battery thickness relatively slim. The overall thickness is just 8.14mm, and the weight is just over 200 grams, ensuring comfortable usage even during extended gaming sessions.

Noteworthy is the inclusion of bypass charging technology, typically found only in gaming phones. This technology allows for power supply without charging during gameplay, significantly reducing heat generated while charging and playing, eliminating concerns about battery drain.

Furthermore, the OnePlus Ace5 Pro features a custom G1 gaming Wi-Fi chip. In similar Wi-Fi environments, network speeds are improved by 114% compared to same-platform models without the chip. In weak network and signal-penetrating scenarios, latency is reduced by 61%, maintaining online gameplay even through three walls, ensuring a consistently smooth online experience.

To maximize the performance potential of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, the OnePlus Ace5 Pro premieres the chip-level Fengchi gaming core technology. This technology significantly enhances game frame rates, image quality, and thermal control through deep reconstruction of underlying performance scheduling. Without the aid of an independent display chip, it elevates the game's frame rate, image quality, and thermal control to a new level.

II. Design: Metal Sand Silk Glass, Smooth Texture

Our review unit is the Phantom Black Ace5 Pro. Its back panel utilizes a metal sand silk glass process, offering a delicate touch and premium feel. The unique low-flash sand effect creates a distinctive visual under lighting. The simple black color complements the light and shadow details, presenting a stable and atmospheric yet dynamic and vibrant appearance.

The camera module retains OnePlus's classic left-aligned circular design, housing a triple-camera setup, simple yet highly recognizable. The "Ace" logo is located to the right of the camera module. The simple and eye-catching font design seamlessly integrates with the overall style, enhancing brand recognition and highlighting the product's performance positioning.

The OnePlus Ace5 Pro uses a second-generation 1.5K BOE display with the flagship-level BOE X2 material. The global maximum brightness reaches 1600 nits, and the peak brightness reaches 4500 nits. Combined with the latest 8 TLTPO circuit and proprietary Display P2 screen chip, it provides adaptive refresh rates from 1-120Hz while effectively reducing power consumption of the 1.5K screen.

Independent speaker openings are located at the top and bottom of the phone, and the top also features an infrared remote control sensor. The power button and volume buttons are located on the right side. The phone comes standard with a 100W fast charging kit.

III. Performance and Gaming Tests: Smooth Operation, Outstanding Stability

The OnePlus Ace5 Pro, featuring the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, LPDDR5T RAM, and UFS 4.0 storage, represents the most powerful hardware configuration among current Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 phones. Our test unit is the 16GB+512GB version. We disabled RAM expansion and enabled high-performance mode to ensure accurate and objective test results.

Benchmark Performance Tests: (Specific benchmark test data should be added here, such as AnTuTu scores)

Gaming Tests: We conducted tests in a 24C environment using the popular mobile games "Genshin Impact" and "Honkai: Star Rail," selecting the highest graphics settings and frame rates.

1. Genshin Impact:

At native frame rate and graphics, the average frame rate in Sumeru City was 60.5 FPS with a frame rate fluctuation of only 0.3, demonstrating exceptional stability. The average power consumption was approximately 3.55W, with a power efficiency ratio of 17.04 FPS/W. Compared to the OnePlus Ace3 Pro with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, this represents approximately a 26% improvement in power efficiency. The maximum rear temperature after gaming was only 32.3C.

In super-resolution and super-frame rate mode, the average frame rate increased to 121.2 FPS, with average power consumption of approximately 5.05W and a power efficiency ratio of 24 FPS/W, a roughly 40.8% improvement over the native frame rate. The maximum rear temperature after gaming was 35.2C.

2. Honkai: Star Rail:

At native graphics and resolution, the average frame rate during the "Golden Moment" testing phase was 59.6 FPS, with an average fluctuation of 1.8. The average power consumption was approximately 5.5W, and the power efficiency ratio was 10.86 FPS/W. The maximum rear temperature after gaming was 37.8C.

With super frame rate enabled, the frame rate increased to 120 FPS, with average power consumption of approximately 6.14W and a power efficiency ratio improvement to approximately 19.5 FPS/W, an increase of nearly 80%. The maximum rear temperature after gaming was 39.7C.

Overall, the OnePlus Ace5 Pro demonstrates OnePlus's deep technical expertise and understanding of product optimization in gaming, excelling in both hardware performance tuning and power efficiency improvement.

IV. Imaging System: 50-Megapixel Triple-Camera System, Meeting Daily Needs

The OnePlus Ace5 Pro features a rear triple-camera system. The main camera utilizes a Sony IMX890 CMOS sensor with a 1/1.56-inch photosensitive unit, 1m single-pixel size, F1.8 large aperture, 24mm equivalent focal length, and OIS optical image stabilization. Compared to the previous generation, light sensitivity has improved by 27%. The phone inherits the image algorithm of the OnePlus 13, further enhancing image quality.
