The OnePlus Ace 3V has a different design compared to its predecessor. It has a flat frame and retains a three-stage alert slider on the left and power and volume rocker buttons on the right. There is a pill-shaped vertically stacked camera module on the back panel. The phone is also IP65-rated dust and splash-resistant.
Up front, the OnePlus Ace 3V has a tiny centre-aligned punch-hole cutout flat OLED display panel integrated with a fingerprint scanner. The screen measures 6.7 inches bearing a 1.5K resolution, a 2160Hz PWM dimming, and a 120Hz refresh rate. It also offers 2,150 nits peak brightness and Rain Touch technology for using the phone with wet hands.
In the imaging department, the OnePlus Ace 3V features a dual rear camera setup. It comprises a 50MP Sony IMX882 primary sensor with OIS and an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens. There is a 16MP front-facing selfie snapper.
Under the hood, the OnePlus Ace 3V is the first phone with a Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 processor and various AI features onboard. It packs up to 16GB LPDDR5x RAM and 512GB UFS 4.0 storage. There is the same aerospace-grade VC cooling system for heat dissipation that is found on the OnePlus 12 series. The smartphone draws its power from a 5,500mAh battery unit with support for 100W fast charging. Software-wise, the device ships with Android 14-based ColorOS 14 out of the box. It is confirmed to get three years of OS updates and four years of security patches.
