The company decided to drop the ‘Reno’ tag and pivot Ace into another flagship lineup.

Oppo Ace 2: Specs and Features

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.

Oppo Ace 2 features a 6.5-inch Full-HD+ AMOLED display with a punch-hole cutout at the top left, 90Hz refresh rate, and 180Hz touch sampling rate. It’s pretty much the same as the original Ace. This panel boasts a 91.7% screen-to-body ratio, 2400 × 1080p resolution, HDR10+, 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, and more.

The latest Snapdragon 865 chipset from Qualcomm runs the show under the hood. There’s 5G connectivity onboard, along with up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 3.0 storage. Ace 2 runs Android 10-based ColorOS 7.1 out-of-the-box. The UI has been greatly toned down and you can read all about its cool features right here.

In the optics department, Oppo Ace 2 features a quad-camera system with a 48MP (f/1.7) primary camera.

There’s also a 16MP (f/2.4) selfie camera housed in the punch-hole on the front, which is great.
