OnePlus is planning to launch its next flagship smartphone, the OnePlus Ace Racing Edition in China on May 17th next week. And as fans are eager to know the specifications of this upcoming flagship, one of the higher OnePlus executives shared today the display highlights of the company’s next flagship on his social media.

OnePlus CEO (China Market), Mr Louis Li, took to Chinese social media site Weibo today to announce that the company will be launching its next flagship, the OnePlus Ace Racing Edition, with a 120Hz LCD display.

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.

As the OnePlus 10R has gone on sale in India yesterday, buyers in China have already started receiving their OnePlus Ace (the Chinese variant of the OnePlus 10R) devices in hand, and first impressions of the device have not been quite positive on social media, until OnePlus themselves had to start addressing the overheating issues to the mainstream press outlets in China.

According to the mainstream Chinese news outlet, Sina Finance, one Weibo user, had recently received his brand new OnePlus Ace device, and upon the first day of using the device, the user had already reported overheating issues that left the device uncomfortable to hold in the hands. 

The user posted that he had only continuously played a mobile game for an hour but the device’s battery temperature had already reached a high 43.7 degrees Celsius, and the CPU was at 46.5 degrees Celsius. Another Weibo user had also chipped into the conservation by sharing a video showing that his OnePlus Ace battery came in even higher at 44.6 degrees Celsius, and the CPU was at an uncomfortable 60.4 degrees Celsius.

And it does not seem like the cases are standalone cases as well, as more and more buyers of the OnePlus Ace had joined in on the Weibo topic until the hashtag “#OnePlus Phones So Hot That It Burns Hands” (translated from Mandarin to English) was one of the trending searches on Weibo yesterday.

Addressing the matter, OnePlus has reached out to Sina Finance for a reply to the public stating that the aforementioned Weibo user had been playing Genshin Impact for an hour, and he felt that the phone was overheating because his hands felt uncomfortable when the phone was reaching temperatures of around 42 degrees Celsius. Thus, the buyer felt like the OnePlus Ace(rebranded globally as OnePlus 10R) he got had quality control problems. 

In the press reply, OnePlus reiterates that in reality, the phone reaching high temperatures during gaming is a common occurrence, the high temperatures that the users have experienced are well within expectations and are considered normal, and it will not affect the daily functionality of the smartphone.

The OnePlus Ace was originally launched in China on April 21st, and the phone was then the first-ever phone to feature the MediaTek Dimensity 8100 MAX which promised higher performance over the standard Dimensity 8100. The device was then launched globally as the OnePlus 10R as it made its debut in India on the 28th of April.
