OnePlus will launch the Ace 7 and Ace 7 Pro in China on October 29 at 7 PM local time (4:30 PM in India). The company confirmed the launch date this week, and reservations for both phones have been open on its Chinese online store since October 16.
Now that buyers can reserve the phones ahead of launch, OnePlus has been revealing more details about what they will offer. The new phones follow the OnePlus Ace 6 with a 165Hz display, a 7,800mAh battery, a 50MP + 8MP rear camera setup, and a 16MP selfie camera. The Ace 7 series is tipped to bring a faster 185Hz display, a battery capacity of around 9,000mAh, and a 200MP main camera. Its biggest addition is an active cooling fan, which would be a first for a OnePlus phone.
Here’s what OnePlus has confirmed so far and what recent leaks suggest about each model.
1. What OnePlus has confirmed
OnePlus has confirmed two different processors for the lineup. The Ace 7 will use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 V, while the Ace 7 Pro gets the standard Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Both phones will also include the company’s Wind-Chaser gaming engine and a built-in fan with a dual-airflow cooling system.
OnePlus China president Li Jie explained the cooling setup in a Weibo post. The system uses separate airflow paths to cool the chipset and the rear panel. The air intake is away from the spots where your fingers rest in landscape mode, so you won’t block it while gaming, and the exhaust pushes hot air upward instead of into your palms.
OnePlus calls it an industry-first “Dual-Path Glacier Air Cooling System” and says temperatures stay up to 10 degrees Celsius lower during long gaming sessions.
2. OnePlus Ace 7 Pro
The Ace 7 Pro is the more powerful model, carrying the model number PMS110 and device code OP64F1L1. It runs the full Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (SM8850), the same chip you get in the OnePlus 15, and Geekbench listings show it with 16GB of RAM and Android 17, and you can expect ColorOS 17 on top.
The phone is tipped to feature a 6.78-inch flat LTPS OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 185Hz refresh rate. The device is even tipped to support a 240Hz refresh rate, although 185Hz is said to be the guaranteed minimum.
As for the camera setup, the Ace 7 Pro is expected to feature a 200MP main camera with optical image stabilization, alongside a 50MP periscope telephoto camera with 3.5x optical zoom. The telephoto camera is reportedly equipped with Samsung’s ISOCELL JN5 sensor. The front is expected to have a 16MP selfie camera.
Powering the phone could be a 9,000mAh cell, with reports pointing to either 100W or 120W wired charging. The built-in cooling fan will reportedly work with an AI temperature sensor to manage heat.
3. OnePlus Ace 7
The standard Ace 7 carries the model number PYF110 and device code OP68BBL1. It uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 V, a lower-tier version of the Pro model’s processor.
The display is expected to match the Pro model, with a 6.78-inch flat OLED panel offering 1.5K resolution and a 185Hz refresh rate. The standard model is also tipped to feature a 200MP main camera and a 16MP selfie camera, but it is not expected to include the Pro’s periscope telephoto lens.
Some reports mention a 200MP + 50MP rear camera combination for the series, although the identity of the second 50MP sensor on the standard Ace 7 remains unclear.
Like the Pro model, the Ace 7 is expected to pack a battery of around 9,000mAh and support either 100W or 120W wired charging, depending on which report proves accurate. One leak also mentions water resistance but does not provide an official rating.
There was initially some uncertainty about whether the standard model would get the built-in fan. However, OnePlus’ teasers for the series indicate both phones will feature the cooling system.
4. How the cooling fan works
A leaked schematic shared by Digital Chat Station provides a closer look at the cooling system. It shows two separate airflow paths, one for the processor and another for the rear panel.
The design directs hot air out through the sides, away from the user’s hands, while cooler air moves downward through the system. The setup is also said to include an AI temperature sensor, patented technology, and measures to reduce fan noise and prevent dust from entering.
If the system performs as OnePlus claims, it could help the phones sustain higher performance during longer gaming sessions. Actual temperatures and noise levels will need to be assessed after the devices launch.
5. Design
Both the Ace 7 and Ace 7 Pro share a similar design. The standard Ace 7 comes in Tempered, Midnight Black, and Glossy White. Meanwhile, the higher-end Ace 7 Pro gets Windbreaker, Midnight Black, and Lightning White.
The Tempered version of the Ace 7 has a silver finish that transitions into a warm copper-orange shade near the bottom. The Windbreaker version of the Ace 7 Pro has a light blue color with a frosted, brushed texture. Both feature large Ace lettering and the OnePlus logo on the rear panel.
The camera module sits in the upper-left corner. It consists of a raised metal square with rounded edges, housing a tall pill-shaped cutout, a smaller circular lens, and a ring-shaped element. The flash sits just outside the module.
6. Price and availability
OnePlus has not revealed pricing for the Ace 7 or Ace 7 Pro. The Ace series typically remains exclusive to China, and OnePlus withdrew from the US and European markets this year, so a wider Western release is unlikely.
For India, the Ace 7 Pro could launch as the OnePlus 16R at around Rs 75,000. This remains unconfirmed, though.
