Performance should be a rigid demand of every mobile phone user: not only heavy-load games, but also increasingly bloated daily applications require performance. Only when both are taken into account can it be called "sufficient" performance. As a brand focusing on the performance track, OnePlus naturally understands this well.

The latest product in the Ace series, the OnePlus Ace3 Pro, can be said to be a benchmark product born under this concept. Based on the insight into user needs, it not only has a breakthrough in performance, but also innovates in the battery life experience that was often a trick of previous performance mobile phones, creating an all-round mobile phone that can not only satisfy users' smooth experience but also ensure long-term use. So, how did OnePlus achieve this goal through innovation?

Innovation is not about “creating” users

In recent years, "innovation" has always been a word on the lips of manufacturers. Some innovations seem powerful, but in fact they are divorced from user needs and actual application scenarios. They are innovative for the sake of innovation, but they "innovate" the users instead. OnePlus happens to be a pragmatic brand. Li Jie, president of OnePlus China, mentioned "focusing on user needs" in many interviews, which is also the fundamental reason why OnePlus has always been on the right path of innovation for many years.

User needs are complex and diverse. Only by grasping the core needs and innovating around these needs can we truly impress consumers. However, it is not easy to meet these needs because they are often contradictory.

For example, users want their phones to have powerful performance to handle various high-load tasks, while also wanting a large battery capacity to ensure long battery life. In addition, fast charging and thin and light design are also what users expect, but these features are usually difficult to achieve at the same time.

Just like in performance mobile phones, ultra-long battery life has always been absent while maintaining the thickness of the body. However, this does not mean that performance users do not need battery life in their usage scenarios. On the contrary, for this type of people, battery life means the ability to carry heavy load scenarios, which is very important.

Behind this dilemma is the lack of excellent solutions in the industry and the technical problems that need to be overcome. But this time OnePlus stood up. Since there is no ready-made solution, the only way to meet user needs is through technological innovation. This is the original intention of the glacier battery on the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro.

The secret of native 120fps

As mentioned above, users need performance, and the easiest way is to stack hardware. But when everyone uses Snapdragon 8 Gen3, how can mobile phone manufacturers stand out?

This shows the manufacturer's understanding of user needs: the fundamental reason why users need performance is to have a smooth gaming experience, not to have any hardware. "Native 120 FPS" is the answer given by OnePlus Ace 3 Pro based on this user demand.

Unlike the previous frame insertion through external independent graphics chips, OnePlus Ace 3 Pro fully utilizes the core capabilities of Snapdragon 8 Gen3, starting from the game rendering pipeline, to achieve a native 120-frame smooth experience in "Genshin Impact", and at the highest image quality. The 120-frame "Genshin Impact" achieved in this way looks smoother and more natural, without the tearing and operation delay caused by the traditional frame insertion method.

Since the core capabilities are called upon, the Soc load will be higher accordingly. In the actual test process, we found that the core frequency of OnePlus Ace 3 Pro can often reach around 3GHz, and the core temperature can also reach around 70℃.

For this purpose, OnePlus Ace 3 Pro has prepared a rare 9126mm² 10,000-level VC heat dissipation area and 2K supercritical superconducting graphite in the industry, with a complete set of Tiangong heat dissipation system and AI temperature control management, the overall heat dissipation ability is very outstanding. When the core temperature is 70℃, the temperature of the body surface will not make people feel hot, and it will not reduce the frequency if it is kept in this state for a long time. After stopping the game, the core temperature can also quickly drop to normal levels.

Not only does the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro have good heat dissipation, it can also keep heat away from the area where the user holds the phone. In our actual tests, we found that the bottom and top frame of the phone where the fingers touch are relatively cool, making it comfortable to hold during long gaming sessions.

With the same core configuration, OnePlus has achieved an exclusive "native 120 frames" gaming experience through peripheral configuration and software optimization. This is the deep technological innovation brought by OnePlus based on user needs, and it is also the best interpretation of its performance mobile phone.

The Secret of Glacier Batteries

According to stereotypes, performance phones are equipped with larger batteries due to their high power consumption, which makes the body very thick and heavy, which is unacceptable for OnePlus, which has always been famous for its feel. However, performance and battery life are equally important, and users cannot be forced to choose between the two. For this seemingly unsolvable problem, OnePlus chose to create its own answer - "Glacier Battery".

The core pain point that the Glacier Battery solves is: packing more power in a smaller volume, that is, the energy density of the battery. In order to achieve a significant increase in battery energy density, OnePlus has conducted in-depth cooperation with Contemporary Amperex Technology (ATL), the world's top battery cell supplier.

The Glacier Battery uses a new generation of silicon-carbon negative electrode battery technology. Compared with traditional graphite negative electrode batteries, it greatly increases the lithium ion content in the battery and increases the battery energy density to the industry-leading 763Wh/L. At the same time, the Glacier Battery has achieved the industry's highest 6% negative electrode silicon-carbon content. With the support of multiple technologies, the OnePlus Glacier Battery can have an ultra-large battery capacity of up to 6100mAh, while its size is as light and thin as a traditional 5000mAh battery.

In addition, the Glacier Battery supports 100W Super Flash Charge technology, and the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro can be fully charged in just 36 minutes, achieving a fast charging experience of "charge for five minutes, play for two hours". It is also the only mobile phone in the industry that has both a 6100mAh large battery and 100W flash charge. According to my experience during this period, I basically charge it for half an hour every night, and there is still more than 40% of power left by the next night.

Another highlight of the Glacier battery is its stable power output. Through the new voltage stabilization architecture design, the Glacier battery can provide consistent performance in various usage scenarios. In high-load gaming scenarios, the instantaneous voltage drop of the battery is controlled within 3%, ensuring the smoothness and stability of the gaming experience.

In general, the Glacier Battery not only meets users' needs for long battery life and fast charging, but also improves the overall performance and service life of the mobile phone through innovative design and advanced technology, fully demonstrating OnePlus' innovative strength in the field of smartphones.

Building a performance ecosystem

At the launch of OnePlus Ace 3 Pro, OnePlus proposed the concept of "performance ecosystem", which is the first time that OnePlus has extended the label of "performance" to the entire brand ecosystem. And the starting point of all this is also user demand.

When talking about the construction of ecological products, Li Jie, president of OnePlus China, said that with the continuous growth of the user base, users' demand for multi-device interconnection is increasing, especially young user groups, who hope to get a better interconnection experience under the same brand.

Based on these feedbacks, OnePlus began to provide more optimized devices for specific user groups, such as college students. For example, many college students now use tablets for study and entertainment, and both scenarios require strong performance support. Most tablets on the market currently use mid-range processors, while the OnePlus Tablet Pro directly uses the flagship processor Snapdragon 8 Gen3, which can cope with high-intensity learning tasks, making it easier for students to use.

OnePlus's ecological layout is not just a simple superposition of products, but is based on a deep understanding of user needs and a constant pursuit of technological innovation. Through the linkage of tablets, mobile phones, watches and other product lines, OnePlus optimizes the user experience in various scenarios such as learning, life, and sports. This user-centric brand concept fully reflects OnePlus's emphasis on user needs and its persistent pursuit of performance.

Final Thoughts

The core demand of many young people for mobile phones is performance. OnePlus has accurately grasped this demand and launched a series of innovations around performance, starting from the scene, solving the pain points of users one by one. Whether it is the "native 120 frames" gaming experience brought by in-depth SoC bottom-level tuning, or the glacier battery that takes into account long battery life and flash charging, and the thin and light body after achieving the above two points, in Internet jargon, OnePlus Ace 3 Pro is called the "bottom-level logic" of insight into users.

The Chinese mobile phone market has been very saturated, and the competition among manufacturers has reached an extreme. How did OnePlus stand out? It relied on keeping up with user needs and continuous innovation. After years of hard work in the performance mobile phone track, OnePlus has attracted a group of loyal users with performance as the core demand, and has also built an innovative technology moat around performance.

Having written this far, I’m already looking forward to OnePlus’ next model!
