After a month of constant leaks and
teasers, Oppo’s Ace2 is finally official. It retains the 90Hz refresh rate
screen and 65W wired charging of its predecessor – the Reno Ace but brings the
latest Snapdragon 865 chipset, 5G connectivity and the fastest wireless
charging around at 40W thanks to the brand new AirVOOC charger.
The Ace2 sports a 6.5-inch OLED display
with FHD+ resolution, a 90Hz refresh rate and 180Hz touch sampling rate. The
panel comes with a punch-hole cutout in the top left corner for the 16MP selfie
camera.
Jumping to the back we find a circular
cutout for the quartet of cameras, headlined by a 48MP main shooter. The
accompanying modules are an 8MP ultrawide snapper, and two 2MP "portrait
cameras", which is a fancy term for depth helpers.
Under the hood, the Snapdragon 865 SoC is
paired with 8/12GB RAM with the higher capacity being of the LPPDR5 variety and
128/256 UFS 3.0 storage. The 4,000mAh battery supports 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 fast
wired charging which is plenty fast but what’s more impressive is the 40W
AirVOOC wireless charger which Oppo claims can complete a full charge cycle in
only 56 minutes. The actual charging pad has its own spinning fan to keep
thermals in check and will be sold separately for CNY 249 (US$ 35).
The software front is covered by Android
10 with ColorOS 7.1 on top. Other notable features include Wi-Fi 6 and NFC and
10W reverse wireless charging. The Oppo Ace2 will come in purple, grey and
silver colors with a starting price of CNY 3,999 (US$ 565) for the 8/128GB model.
There’s also an 8/256GB variant for CNY 4,399 (US$ 625) and a top of the line
12/256GB trim for CNY 4,599 (US$ 650). Pre-orders are already underway while
official sales start on April 20. International availability details aren't
confirmed yet.
