What’s new

The OnePlus Ace 7 is a gaming-focused phone launched in China on 29 October 2026 alongside a Pro version. Gizmochina reports it has a 6.78-inch screen that reaches 185Hz in supported games, a 9000mAh battery with 100W charging, and a small internal fan. GSMArena says it runs a toned-down Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 V series chip. No reviews are out yet, so performance and battery claims below are OnePlus’s own.

  • Gizmochina reports the Ace 7 launched in China on 29 October 2026 and is on sale now. It says the Ace series is usually China-only and that an official US or European release looks unlikely.
  • GSMArena and Gizmochina report this is the first Ace phone with a fan. Gizmochina says OnePlus claims the cooling can lower chip temperature by up to 10°C after an hour of Peacekeeper Elite at 185fps.
  • FoneArena reports the display runs at 165Hz for general use and up to 185Hz in compatible games. GSMArena says 185Hz works only in select games that support it.
  • GSMArena prices the 12GB/256GB model at CNY 4,399 (about $655). Gizmochina lists four memory and storage options, from 12GB/256GB to 16GB/512GB, at ¥4,399 to ¥5,699 (about $655 to $850).
  • GSMArena says the Ace 7 has a lower-spec GPU than the Pro, no telephoto camera, and an 8MP ultrawide camera in its place.

What reviews will need to show

  • Whether the cooling delivers what OnePlus claims, up to 10°C lower chip temperature after an hour of gaming. GSMArena says the Ace 7’s fan skips the bi-directional airflow, while Gizmochina describes the Ice River dual-channel system for the phones, so reviews should clarify what the Ace 7 actually has.
  • How much slower the Ace 7’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 V series chip is in games, given GSMArena’s note about its smaller GPU and lower overall performance.
  • Whether the 9000mAh battery and 100W charging hold up in real use, including the power-bypass mode while gaming.
  • Whether the OnePlus-reported gaming gains hold up in testing. They include 80% lower swipe latency and 43% lower tap latency from the T3 touch chip, and a fan that is quieter and more dust-resistant.
