The performance phone with the best battery life! OnePlus Ace 3 Pro review: easy to use for a day even for heavy gamers
The one we have is the Vegan Leather version, Greenfield Vegan Green, which is made of ultra-flexible and skin-friendly vegan leather material commonly used in high-end car interiors.
This material is not only delicate and attractive in appearance, but also extremely soft and comfortable to the touch.
Through the industry's first pine vein tree pattern process, the back of the phone has a more unique texture, enhancing the overall texture and visual effect.
The OnePlus Ace 3 Pro uses the Lens Deco Zone one-piece, same-color process, a process that makes the lens area on the back of the phone consistent with the overall color, creating a neat and unified visual effect.
At the same time, the machine also introduces a flagship-level metal center frame, which not only enhances the ruggedness and durability of the phone, but also dramatically improves the feel of the grip, making the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro stand out in its class.

III, performance and game: third-generation Snapdragon 8 Iron Triangle release fierce Original God native 120 fps experience subvert imagination
OnePlus Ace 3 Pro as a performance flagship, Snapdragon 8 Gen3 performance Iron Triangle is bound to be the standard, and at a time when many cell phones have canceled the 24GB + 1TB top storage, OnePlus still insists on providing this high configuration option.
From here can also be seen, a plus to the pursuit of performance to an incredibly demanding degree, of course, also highlights a plus "will not be" product philosophy, is committed to bringing the best side of the product to the user.
We have a plus Ace 3 Pro for 16GB LPDDR5X 8533Mbps + 512GB UFS4.0 storage version, then we have a series of tests on the theoretical performance of the phone and game performance.
--Theoretical Performance Test
The first is the AnTuTu rabbit comprehensive performance test, the total score reached 2,164,500+, compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 equipped OnePlus Ace2 Pro released at the same time last year, the overall performance has been improved by nearly 30.75%, of which the CPU score is 456,600+, and the GPU score is nearly 860,000, which is a result that has reached the leading level of the same platform.
In the CPU single test, the GeekBench6 single-core score of 2211 points, multi-core score of 6872 points, year-on-year improvement of 11.1% and 31.12% respectively.
GPU single test of GFXBench, Aztec Ruins OpenGL, Aztec Ruins Vulkan, Race Chase, Manhattan 3.1, Manhattan off-screen, Tyrannosaurus Rex off-screen, respectively, gave a score of 173 FPS, 191 FPS, 119 FPS, 196 FPS, 330 FPS, 372 FPS.
Finally, we tested the flash memory section and reached a sequential read speed of almost 4.0 GB/s and a sequential write speed of 3.96 GB/s, which is in line with UFS 4.0 and is almost 18% faster compared to the previous generation.
--Gaming Tests
Moving on to the gaming test, we selected 3 popular handheld games, namely Peaceful Elite, Proto-Gods and Wipeout: Star Dome Railroad, under the office environment with a room temperature of 28 degrees Celsius. We chose the highest frame rate under the highest image quality (with the image quality as the priority) to conduct the game test, and recorded the frame rate, power consumption, energy-efficiency ratio, and the temperature performance of the chassis during the game.
1. Peace Elite
First of all, the peace elite hand game, in the smooth quality of the picture can be turned on 120 frames, after a game of intense battle, close to 16 minutes of testing, the average frame rate of the game stabilized at 119.41FPS, although the frame rate during the game there is a slight drop in the frame, but does not affect the overall stability of the screen.
The average power consumption comes to 5W, and the energy efficiency ratio reaches 23.9FPS/W. Considering that the frame rate has reached 120FPS, this energy efficiency ratio is already very good.
In terms of temperature, the back is up to 44.4 degrees Celsius, the high temperature area is located in the lower part of the camera, the ring finger may feel a hint of heat buildup when holding the phone horizontally, but the good thing is that it's not hot.
This is also thanks to the second-generation Tiangong cooling system of strong cooling module support, with the first 2K supercritical thermal conductivity of graphite materials, and cooling area of the same grade the largest 9126mm ² 10,000 single VC cooling module, the heat buildup can be quickly transferred to the back of the cell phone location, thus ensuring the stability and performance of the phone in the high load operation.
2, the original God
The OnePlus Ace 3 Pro is also the first to support the Original God native 120 fps experience, so why is OnePlus able to increase the frame rate of Original God to 120 fps?
This is due to the fact that by deeply optimizing the third-generation Snapdragon 8 chip, the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro phone significantly improves the efficiency of the GPU, which also allows the phone to complete the real-time rendering of high-frame-rate images with zero-latency efficiency, thus providing a smoother ProtoGods gaming experience.
In this regard, we also tested the performance of the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro Original God High Frame Rate.
In the original God 120FPS, the same Sumeru City 10 minutes fixed scene running test, the game's frame rate curve almost maintained in the 120FPS position did not fall off, the final average frame rate of the game stabilized at 119.18FPS.
In terms of power consumption, the average came to 5.96W, with an energy efficiency ratio of 20.13FPS/W. This energy efficiency ratio has already surpassed all previous Snapdragon 8 Gen3 phones, and it can be said that it is the best Snapdragon 8 Gen3 phone for gaming performance, bar none.
With a power consumption of nearly 6W, the phone inevitably generates more heat.
According to the actual test, after the game runs, the maximum temperature on the back of the phone climbs to 45.1 degrees Celsius.
At this time, if you hold the phone horizontally, the user will feel the accumulation of heat in the palm of the hand is more obvious, in the original God 120FPS mode, we can use the radiator to play the game, but also to ensure that the release of stronger performance and more stable frame rate performance.
3, crash: star dome railroad
Finally, we tested a higher load of "Wipeout: Star Dome Railroad" hand game, the highest quality + maximum frame rate, located in the Star Rub Sea Hub running map test 15 minutes, the game's frame rate can be stabilized at 59.41FPS, the middle of the frequency is not down, not drop frames, and there is no previous Snapdragon 8 Gen3 cell phone the kind of "rollercoaster" frame rate scenarios! The most powerful performance phone in terms of battery life!
In its pursuit of extreme performance release, the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro adopts a relatively loose power management strategy, hardly implementing too many power interventions, which inevitably leads to higher power consumption.
After the game, the average power consumption of the game is around 6.36W, but the energy efficiency ratio reaches 9.34FPS/W, which is a big jump compared to the previous Snapdragon 8 Gen3 models, no less than the annual peak performance masterpiece of 2024.
High power consumption will inevitably also bring high heat, after 15 minutes of running tests, the highest temperature of the back of the body of the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro even reached 49.4 degrees Celsius, directly approaching 50 degrees Celsius.
Therefore, when playing this kind of high load handball, especially in the hot summer, it is recommended to use additional cooling equipment to assist in heat dissipation.
IV, the image: Sony IMX890 three camera daily photography is enough
A plus Ace 3 Pro rear three camera module, in which the main camera uses the same model of the previous generation of the Sony IMX890 flagship CMOS, 24mm equivalent focal length, 1μm single pixel can bring a higher amount of light intake, which can make the picture more pure in the actual shooting, and at the same time, support for OIS optical stabilization.
The ultra wide-angle uses an 8-megapixel Sony IMX355 sensor with a 16mm equivalent focal length and supports a 112-degree field of view.
There's also a 2-megapixel macro lens with sensor model OV02B10 from Howell.
We also shot some sample images with the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro:
--Main Camera
In daytime scenes, the sample photos taken by the Sony IMX890 main camera of the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro, even when the main camera is used for 2x zoom shooting, the resolution is still very good, the light and shadow details are preserved, and with the addition of the Ultra-Light Image Engine algorithm, it brings users excellent color performance.
However, when facing direct sunlight, the samples taken will be a bit overexposed.
But considering the fact that the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro is not a flagship class that focuses on playing images, it is quite satisfactory to have such image performance.
-Night Scene
Night scene, the samples taken using the night scene mode show a special advantage in capturing lighting effects, even after the image has been cropped, it is still able to accurately control the noise and exposure of the image, and the light and shadow lines on top of the photographed buildings are clearly visible and free of stray light, ensuring that the light and shadows are rendered more closely to the real scene, and the final imaging effect is both clear and natural.
--Ultra wide angle
Ultra wide-angle support 112 ° FOV, want to magnificent buildings to utilize this lens is completely sufficient, at the same time this lens also supports aberration correction, to ensure that the left and right sides will not be barrel-type aberration, so that the performance of the sample is more tense.
V, charging and battery life: half an hour or so fully charged in exchange for nearly 15 hours of ultra-long battery life
OnePlus Ace 3 Pro debut of high-performance batteries specially built for high-performance cell phones - glacier battery, is the industry's only one at the same time to do 6000 + mAh battery + hundred watts of charging flash charging range combination of performance cell phones, opened up a smartphone battery life revolution, bid farewell to a day a charging.
Inside the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro, thanks to a new generation of silicon-carbon negative battery technology, the phone's battery contains an industry-leading 6% silicon and has an energy density of 763Wh/L. Therefore, OnePlus also has the ability to make the phone's battery capacity larger, and even reaches the unprecedented 6100mAh of the Ace series.
In addition, the phone also supports dual-cell 100W super fast charging, using a new DC architecture as well as smart charging engine algorithms, which can not only effectively reduce the charging temperature, but also have faster charging efficiency while charging and playing.
In this regard, we have also tested the charging ability and endurance of the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro.
-Charging test
We consumed the phone's power to 1% and began to extinguish the screen charging, 10 minutes later the charge to 40%, 20 minutes to 69%, half an hour charge to 92%, completely full in 33 minutes.
--Battery life test
For the battery life test, we use a professional battery life test tool - Battery Dog produced by Fast Tech to conduct the test.
In the test program, the default will be carried out to 20% of the power test, at the same time, including CPU high-pressure, CPU multi-threading, AI recognition, image browsing, video playback and web browsing of all the test items will be checked, through the simulation of the user's use of the scenario, to restore the real load to the greatest extent possible, infinitely close to the real power consumption situation.
During the test, in order to ensure that the environmental variables remain uniform across all models tested as well as to ensure the accuracy of the test scores, Battery Dog automatically adjusts the brightness of the screen to 50% and turns off the auto-brightness, with the volume adjusted to 30%.
After the battery dog uninterrupted test, a plus Ace3 Pro power consumption from 100% to 20% in 12 hours, 29 minutes and 52 seconds, after conversion, full battery life can reach about 15 hours or so, this battery life has even surpassed most of the main long battery life of the mid-range phone, in the performance of the flagship ranks of the handful of heavy gamers can easily use a whole day.
VI, summarize: a plus the performance of the most fierce ever, the strongest battery life of the phone!
24GB ultra-large memory, ultra-thin screen fingerprints, 0916 X-axis lateral linear motor, these are the hardware configurations that OnePlus has popularized for us in the past, and they are further inherited in OnePlus Ace3 Pro.
Unlike other manufacturers who frequently change selling points to attract consumers, OnePlus pays more attention to the depth of polishing and continuous improvement in the user experience, and from this point of view, OnePlus is more realistic than other manufacturers.
Snapdragon 8 Gen3 flagship dual-core, in our test, the "Peaceful Elite" and "Original God" double debut 120 frames, Peaceful Elite load is relatively low, full frame operation can be said to be no pressure, but the high load of the "Original God", in a plus Ace 3 Pro directly break through the upper limit of the performance, the measured frame rate stabilized at 119.18 FPS, the power consumption of 5.96W, energy efficiency ratio of 20.13FPS / W, this original God's performance performance has exceeded the past all Snapdragon 8 Gen3 phones.
Even the most performance-eating "Wipeout: Star Dome Railroad" handheld game, the frame rate can even be stabilized at the 60FPS level without dropping frames, without downclocking, which in our previous tests of Snapdragon 8 Gen3 cell phones, it can be said without exaggeration, in addition to gaming cell phones, there is no cell phone that can achieve such a stable release of performance, a plus Ace 3 Pro can be said to be the best Snapdragon 8 Gen3 mobile phone with the best gaming performance, there is no one. Gen3 phone, there is no one.
Secondly, in the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro, we once again witness a breakthrough in performance flagships, with a massive 6100mAh battery being crammed into a performance flagship phone for the first time.
The glacier battery technology debuted in the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro, with a huge capacity of 6100mAh and 100W super fast charging, completely solves the problem of the phone's performance, thin and light design and endurance can not be combined.
Through the battery dog's professional endurance test, one plus Ace 3 Pro's endurance time can be up to 15 hours, daily use two days a charge, in the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 phone we are completely unimaginable, even if it is used by heavy game patients, it can easily deal with a whole day.
Such endurance is unique among performance flagship phones, and we can fully say that the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro is the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 performance flagship phone with the topmost endurance.
