OnePlus Ace is among the most popular mid-range smartphone series in the Chinese market. The OnePlus Ace 2 Pro in particular is incredibly popular in China. So much so that the brand was having a hard time keeping the device in stock. Now, there are rumors of another Ace series smartphone in the works that could replicate the success of its predecessor.

As per Weibo Tipster DCS, a new smartphone is heading to the Chinese market. Although the tipster did not reveal the name of this device, there’s a good chance that this is the OnePlus Ace 3V. The Ace 3V will remain exclusive to the Chinese market, and we can expect a rebrand of the device to come to global markets, likely called the One Nord 4 or Nord 5.

The tipster mentions that the presumed OnePlus Ace 3V will feature a crisp 1.5K resolution display. It’s safe to assume this phone will come equipped with an AMOLED screen, complete with an integrated fingerprint scanner.

While its predecessor, the Ace 2V, relied on a MediaTek Dimensity chip, OnePlus has opted for Qualcomm’s expertise for the Ace 3V. Rumors suggest the device will sport the SM7550 chip, produced using TSMC’s 4nm manufacturing process. This is an unreleased chip, expected to be the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3.

While the tipster did not provide an explicit launch window, we can assume that the device will debut sometime around March like its predecessor. However, it is also possible that OnePlus decided to launch the device sooner than that.

In related news, Qualcomm has recently launched the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 mid-range chipset, which has debuted on the Redmi Note 13 Pro. The chip is actually a secret rebrand of last year’s Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 SoC.
