OnePlus Ace 2 Variant with MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC Expected to Launch Soon: Details

OnePlus Ace 2 was launched in China earlier this month. The same phone has also arrived in India as the rebranded OnePlus 11 5G. Both variants were equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. However, according to a new leak, OnePlus is now preparing to launch a OnePlus Ace 2 model which would use a MediaTek Dimensity SoC. The display of the OnePlus Ace 2 with the Dimensity SoC is also expected to be a 1.5K resolution flat screen instead of the curved AMOLED panel seen on the OnePlus Ace 2.

According to a report from MyDrivers, which cites Digital Chat Station’s Weibo post, OnePlus is gearing up to launch a OnePlus Ace 2 variant that will feature a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC and a 1.5K flat screen. The standard OnePlus Ace 2 and OnePlus 11R 5G smartphones feature a 6.74-inch Full HD+ curved AMOLED display. The new smartphone is expected to have a slightly lower price than the OnePlus Ace 2 and OnePlus 11R 5G, according to the report.

MediaTek’s Dimensity 9000 SoC is its latest chipset and a flagship processor. The SoC is fabricated using a 4nm process. If this report is true, it will replace the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC found on the standard OnePlus Ace 2. The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC is not the latest Snapdragon SoC available in the market today.

Apart from the processor and screen specifications, all other specifications, features and design of the smartphone are expected to remain the same as the OnePlus Ace 2 or OnePlus 11R 5G, according to the report.

As a reminder, the OnePlus Ace 2 and OnePlus 11R 5G were launched in China and India respectively, with a triple rear camera setup, which includes a 50-megapixel Sony IMX890 main sensor, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle sensor and a 2 megapixel macro lens. The rear camera setup supports 10x digital zoom, 4K video recording at 30 fps (frames per second), EIS (electronic image stabilization) and OIS (optical image stabilization ). For selfies, the smartphones come with a 16-megapixel shooter housed in a center-aligned punch-hole cutout.

However, it should be noted that OnePlus has not yet provided any official confirmation on the possibility of a new OnePlus Ace 2 variant with the MediaTek Dimensity chipset.
