• OnePlus is launching a new mid-range phone in China this week.
• It’s dubbed the OnePlus Ace 3V and will likely be renamed the OnePlus Nord 4 outside of China.
• The Ace 3V, launched on March 21, looks familiar to the OnePlus Nord CE 4, launched in India in April.

OnePlus has unveiled its next mid-range smartphone, the Ace 3V, aimed at the Chinese market with a launch date set for March 21, 2024.

On his Weibo pageOnePlus released the teaser video of the OnePlus Ace 3V, which revealed the full design of the device. Unlike previous Nord phones, the Ace 3V will feature a revamped camera module with two large sensors, followed by an LED flash also aligned with the rear cameras.

The device will also sport the popular alert slider, which has been an exclusive feature of the company’s flagship phones in recent times, so it’s good to see it on a mid-range OnePlus phone.

The device features its flat frame on the sides, alongside rounded corners and a textured finish on the back. It will also be available in two color variants, one with a purple finish and another with a regular black shade.

The Ace 3V will sport a punch-hole display on the front, and based on the teaser video, the bezels appear minimal. OnePlus is also emphasizing the phone’s use as an AI phone for young people (according to the translated teaser post).

In addition to this, OnePlus also confirmed the specifications of the upcoming Ace 3V, which include a Snapdragon 7 series chip and a battery capacity of 5,500 mAh with support for 100W SuperVOOC charging.

The OnePlus Ace 3V will likely be rebranded as the OnePlus Nord 4 in other regions, including India. However, this design is also found in the OnePlus Nord CE 4, which is scheduled to launch in the country in April. OnePlus has already confirmed that this phone will be powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, which also benefits from AI tailored to mid-range Android phones.
