OnePlus is set to unveil a special edition of the OnePlus Ace 3 tailored specifically for fans of the popular game Genshin Impact. 

While the phone’s key specifications will likely mirror those of the standard model, this limited edition smartphone will introduce a unique feature called “optical projection.”

If you’re wondering, no, it’s not about projecting stuff from your phone like the good ol’ Samsung Galaxy Beam. OnePlus is doing something unique here.

They’re using a special etching process on the phone’s top surface so you can project the Keqing character logo onto surfaces using light reflection.

For those unaware, Keqing is a playable Electro character in Genshin Impact. It’s a one-of-a-kind addition that adds a distinctive touch to the phone’s customization.

Similarly, the design of the OnePlus Ace 3 Genshin Impact edition will be inspired by the character Keqing. It will likely have a purple color scheme and might include a butterfly texture pattern on the back. 

Fans can also expect a Keqing-themed system interface. OnePlus’s signature logo and camera layout should remain the same.

As with the standard OnePlus Ace 3, the Genshin Impact edition will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor. This is a flagship-tier SoC that should deliver a smooth, near full-frame gaming experience for Genshin Impact players.

OnePlus 12R Ace 3 Genshin Impact Edition

OnePlus has a proven track record with customized phones.  From the cyberpunk-themed OnePlus 8T to the Hutao-inspired OnePlus Ace Pro Genshin Impact edition, the company has well-executed to include elements from popular games into its designs.  

The new Oneplus Ace 3 Keqing version, with its innovative optical projection feature, adds yet another dimension to the company’s lineup of limited-edition phones.

For global users, there’s good news as well — the phone will be launched under the name OnePlus 12R Genshin Impact Edition on the same day as its Chinese counterpart, February 28th.
