Pros of the OnePlus Ace 2 Pro
Top-Tier Flagship Performance: It is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, which provides extreme, stable performance for the most demanding games and applications, on par with high-end flagship phones.
Insane 150W Fast Charging: The phone supports 150W SUPERVOOC wired charging, capable of charging the large 5,000 mAh battery from 1% to 100% in under 20 minutes, which is one of the fastest charging speeds available.
Massive RAM & Fast Storage: It offers configurations with up to 24GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage, providing unparalleled multitasking capabilities and extremely fast read/write speeds.
High-Quality AMOLED Display: It features a great 6.74-inch AMOLED display with a sharp 1.5K resolution (1240 x 2772) and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, offering excellent brightness and clarity.
Flagship Main Camera with OIS: The main camera uses the proven 50MP Sony IMX890 sensor and includes Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), ensuring high-quality photos and stable videos in various conditions.
Cons of the OnePlus Ace 2 Pro
Limited Global Availability: The Ace series is primarily launched in China (running ColorOS), which means global availability is limited and imported models may lack full support for local 5G bands and sometimes require sideloading Google services.
No Official IP Water Resistance Rating: The phone only has basic ingress protection (IP54 is sometimes mentioned, but official IP ratings for immersion are missing), meaning it lacks the high water and dust resistance (like IP68) expected of top-tier performance phones.
No Wireless Charging: Despite being a high-performance device, the Ace 2 Pro lacks support for wireless charging, a common convenience feature on competing flagship models.
Poor Secondary Cameras: While the main camera is excellent, the 8MP ultrawide lens and the 2MP macro lens are significantly lower quality, lacking the versatility and detail found in true camera-focused flagships.
Plastic Frame: The build is comprised of a glass front (Asahi Glass) and back (Gorilla Glass 5), but it uses a plastic frame, which detracts slightly from the overall premium feel and robustness.
