On October 29, 2026, OnePlus announced the Ace 7 series in China, comprising the Ace 7 and Ace 7 Pro, two phones clearly aimed at gaming. Their most striking feature is a built-in fan to sustain performance during long sessions, with a dual-airflow design on the Pro model and the vents located in the camera module, an unusual solution.
Both share a 6.78-inch LTPO display that reaches 185 Hz in compatible games and is limited to 165 Hz in normal use, a 9,000 mAh battery, and charging up to 100 W. The Pro uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, a 200-megapixel main camera, and a 50-megapixel telephoto lens with 3.5x optical zoom, while the Ace 7 uses a cut-down version of that chip and swaps the telephoto for an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera.
Despite the fan, both models boast IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K certifications. The starting prices in China reported by the source are 4,799 yuan for the Pro and 4,399 yuan for the Ace 7, both with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage.
