The two phones split on silicon.

Both chips are built on a 3-nanometer process and reach 4.608GHz, and both phones pair them with LPDDR5X Ultra memory and UFS 4.1 storage.

OnePlus calls the fan setup its Dual-Path Glacier Air Cooling System. One stream of air blows directly over the chip and the other across the inside of the back cover, so the phone feels cooler in the hand, and the company says chip temperatures run up to 10 degrees Celsius lower after an hour of gaming. The Ace 7 Pro product page describes a 14-layer stack of cooling fins with 1,264 square millimeters of heat exchange area. In OnePlus’s own tests cited by IT Home, the phones averaged 184.9 frames per second in both Game for Peace and Delta Force in their 185 fps modes, peaking at 38.7 and 40.2 degrees Celsius. Both models also carry three OnePlus-designed chips for touch response, networking and display.

Both share a 6.78-inch flat LTPO display at 2,772 by 1,272 pixels. It runs at up to 165Hz across the system and up to 185Hz in some games, reaches 2,000 nits at peak and uses 3,840Hz PWM dimming at low brightness, according to the spec sheets. Phoenix Tech reported that it is the same fourth-generation panel used in the OnePlus 16.

The cameras are the other dividing line. Both phones have a 200-megapixel main camera with optical stabilization. The Pro adds a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto with 3.5x optical zoom and up to 120x digital zoom, while the Ace 7 pairs its main camera with an 8-megapixel ultrawide. Both have a 16-megapixel front camera and record video at up to 8K and 30 frames per second, or 4K at 120.

The 9,000mAh battery, rated at 8,775mAh, charges at up to 100W and supports bypass charging, which powers the phone directly during plugged-in gaming. Both phones run ColorOS 17 and have an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, an infrared blaster, dual speakers and IP66, IP68, IP69 and IP69K dust and water ratings. They measure 8.5 millimeters thick in Polar Night Black and Flowing Light White and 8.59 millimeters in the glass-backed Pofeng and Cuihuo finishes. The Ace 7 Pro weighs about 218 grams, or 225 grams in Pofeng, and the Ace 7 about 217 grams, or 223 grams in Cuihuo. Thursday’s launch covered China only.
