After a myriad of teasers, Oppo launched its new flagship smartphone – Oppo Ace 2 in China today. Yeah, the name sounds familiar because it is a successor to the Reno Ace from last year. The company decided to drop the ‘Reno’ tag and pivot Ace into another flagship lineup. Oppo Ace 2 comes equipped with premium flagship features including a 90Hz display, Snapdragon 865 chipset, wireless charging, and a lot more.
Starting off with the design, a single look at the Ace 2 is enough to remind you of the OnePlus 7T from last year. The 90Hz front panel (more on this below) and the glass rear panel with a circular oreo-shaped camera system feels familiar. The fingerprint sensor is housed under the display here.
The main highlight of the Oppo Ace 2 is wireless charging support. Yes, Oppo finally brings wireless charging support to its phone portfolio – a day ahead of OnePlus. The device supports 40W AirVOOC wireless charging, 10W reverse wireless charging, and 65W SuperVOOC Flash Charge wired fast-charging. The latter is the same as its predecessor. Ace 2 houses a 4,000mAh battery that can be fully charged from 0% to 100% in under 30 minutes.
The device comes equipped with all of the essential connectivity features, including WiFi 802.11ax (WiFi 6), Bluetooth 5.1, dual-mode 5G, NFC, USB Type-C port. Sadly, there’s no 3.5mm headphone jack on board but you do get stereo speakers and 4D vibrations for a more enhanced gaming experience.
Oppo Ace 2 has been priced starting at 3,999 yuan (around Rs. 43,250) for the 8GB+128GB base variant. You will have to shell out 4,399 yuan (around Rs. 47,500) and 4,599 yuan (around Rs. 49,700) for the 8GB+256GB and 12GB+256GB variants respectively.
