The OnePlus Ace debuted in China a month ago, tomorrow the company will launch a new model dubbed the OnePlus Ace Racing Edition. Despite what the name might suggest, it is not just a new paint job, in fact this model has several substantial differences.

The Racing Edition is already listed on OppoShop.cn, showing product images. Evleaks also has pictures of the phone in black. See? No racing stripes. But did you notice the recessed power button? That’s probably a fingerprint too.

It is needed because this model switches from a 120Hz AMOLED panel to a 120Hz LCD (size 6.59 inches, according to TENAA). OnePlus China President Louis Li posted on Weibo that the display will support 6 different refresh rates.

If you zoom in on the images on the back you will see the 64MP label for the main camera and the 15-25mm marking, which provides the focal lengths of the main and ultra wide-angle camera (in 35mm equivalent). Recall that the regular Ace has a 50 + 8 + 2 MP camera on the back. Anyway, another teaser image of the Racing Edition model offers a look at a 3.5mm headphone jack on the bottom (the regular ace doesn’t have a jack).

We don’t know what other changes will be made to the hardware, but we do know the chipset will be the same: a Dimensity 8100-Max.

Another thing will also change, the price. The regular ace starts at CNY 2,500, but Mr. Li called the OnePlus Ace Racing Edition one of the best phones in the CNY 2,000 ($ 300 / € 285 / ₹ 23.00) price range, so this should be cheaper. Come back tomorrow for the full reveal.
