Earlier today (21st May 2020), an upcoming Oppo Ace2 special edition was spotted again on Weibo, a Chinese microblogging website. The device was the Ace2 EVA Transparent Edition, which is based on the popular anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion. While the existence of the smartphone was previously confirmed, it had yet to be launched or seen. Now, we finally have a proper look at the device.
The limited variant of the Oppo smartphone was first shared by @i冰宇宙 on his blog that revealed that the Ace2 EVA Transparent Edition was meant to commemorate the upcoming Evangelion movie. This movie was the final part of a 4 film series that retold the events of the iconic anime and was scheduled for release in June 2020. Unfortunately, this has since been delayed due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

As the name suggests, the special Oppo Ace2 variant features a unique design. On the back, one can observe the nostalgic patterns and design that is a nod to the anime and its EVAs (giant human controlled mechas/robots). The rear panel is mostly covered in a black background over which angular circuitry designs run across the back and with the series logo above the Chinese company’s own brand name.
In recent times, smartphone vendors are increasingly adopting various and popular cinematics IPs for new launches. These handsets are generally limited edition and are said to be quite popular in certain markets. The Oppo Ace2 was launched back in April 2020 and is the flagship entry from the tech giant. Thus, it is no surprise the company would wish to attract consistent sales with a special edition.
