In the teaser photo he posted on his profile, it seems that the OnePlus Ace Racing Edition won’t be using your conventional LCD display found on the lower-end smartphone market, the device will be sporting a fast 120Hz LTPS IPS LCD panel that supports variable refresh rates of 6 different frequencies. 

Introducing variable refresh rates to these LCD panels, Mr Li claims that the OnePlus Ace Racing Edition will have better battery life numbers and the phone can last longer throughout the day when breaking a sweat. He raises an example of when you’re just viewing a still image on your screen, the phone’s screen will refresh at a slower rate, but it will bump up the refresh rate when you are doing gaming or scrolling through social media like TikTok and WeChat, to ensure that the maximum battery is saved and smoothness is always there when needed.

In addition, the company wants to be the first to produce a flagship with an LTPS LCD display because the company has heard from feedback that several of its fans prefer LCDs over AMOLED displays. Thus with the power of the flagship MediaTek Dimensity 8100 MAX chipset, coupled with a smooth 120Hz display, the OnePlus Ace Racing Edition is aimed at a specific niche of mobile power users who want flagship performance on fast screen for an affordable price.
