Under the hood, the device is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, paired with up to 24GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage. OnePlus claims that the Ace 3 Pro is the first Android device capable of running the popular game Genshin Impact at 120fps.
The phone also features an advanced cooling system, the second-generation Tiangong, which includes a 9126mm² vapor chamber and supercritical thermal conductive graphite for improved heat dissipation.
The standout feature of the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro is its massive 6,100mAh battery, which is 13% larger than the one found in the OnePlus 12.

The company also guarantees that the battery will retain 80% of its original capacity after four years of use.
In the camera department, the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro features a triple rear camera setup consisting of a 50MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP macro shooter. On the front, there’s a 16MP selfie camera. While the camera hardware may not be as impressive as some other flagships, OnePlus has included some software enhancements like AI scene recognition and improved low-light performance.
The OnePlus Ace 3 Pro runs on Android 14 with the company’s ColorOS 14.1 skin on top. (We believe it will shall get the Android 15 update soon enough — in a few months when the update launches July-August, 2024.)
