According to the latest report, the OnePlus Ace 2 smartphone will soon get a new model powered by the MediaTek Dimensity processor instead of Qualcomm’s chipset.

The report claims that the OnePlus Ace 2 Dimensity Edition will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 processor. Further, the phone’s screen will be replaced by a 1.5K flat-screen display. It is also expected to be a bit cheaper than the current model.

It is paired with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide angle lens and a 2-megapixel macro camera. On the front side, the phone features a 16-megapixel snapper for taking selfies and video calling.
