Thanks for reviewing this, currently budgeting a new replacement for my phone with this being its alternative. Is there any recent updates to the game optimization/ or in-game center suite (OriginOS) to force frame interpolation in selected games, ones that aren't reliant on being the CN ver / global ver. I'm aware the 1+ Ace 3/ 3 Pro offers the gaming features, but ain't a big fan of its screen and selection of camera hardware.
@axhng2 күн бұрын
hi there. no updated to the game features still unfortunately, and the game will need to be whitelisted by the phone before the frame interpolation feature will show up. So like Genshin for example, the global client won't show the option for frame interpolation at all, unlike the OnePlus CN phones which is a bit more general. IIRC it was the same for Xiaomi too. 😅

hi, the main thing to note is probably that some google features won't work. Like Google Location History (affects Google Opinion Rewards, Google location timeline), Nearby Share (nearby file sharing i think? and maybe Android Wear won't work properly? not too sure about this since I don't use those features), and no Android Auto. There might be others I'm not aware of though since I there are a lot of google services I don't use. then the more minor stuff is probably notifications delay for some apps, but that can be easily fixed by changing app settings to let them run in background. there are CN apps preinstalled too, but most of them can be removed. then there are some CN specific features that won't work without a CN oppo account like some of their AI stuff. the plus side of CN ROM is that they have more options for customisation compared to Global OxygenOS/ColorOS, and they offer more granular controls over app permissions. This is just software, and hardware wise the Ace3 seems to be slightly better compared to the 12R. UFS 4.0 vs 3.1, and Ace3 has the Pixelworks X7 Visual Processor (some gaming features uses this for frame interpolation, etc).

OnePlus' front camera image processing tends to be a bit more natural looking as well compared to iQOO's in general.

Here in Malaysia the different in price around RM100 (SGD28) which is K70 a little bit cheaper than Ace 3. For the preference I actually prefer flat screen more than curve screen but for the software I never use ColorOS or HyperOS before (been using OneUI for the past 4 years) but based on review that I watched I think I prefer ColorOS more than HyperOS, so which phone do you think better/good for me ?
@axhngАй бұрын
the difference isn't huge and specs wise the Ace3 looks better. bigger battery, better screen, better fingerprint sensor, and OnePlus tends to have slightly better gaming performance where as Xiaomi usually is a little more conservative. But you'll have to see if having a curve screen is annoying enough for you or not... screen protectors for curve screens are harder to apply, and also cost more. Personally I tried a few, and the type that works best is the UV film type that similar to the ones they give out of the box. But they're still not as lasting as glass, especially the oleophobic coating, they are harder to apply since you literally only get 1 chance. a single speck of dust, and that's it. I think i probably ruined 2 before i got it right. even then, those are still more expensive than tempered glass. if you can wait a bit, perhaps you could consider the upcoming Nord 4 as well which is a little less powerful, but should have a flat screen, and will be running global ROM which is easier i guess. For Ace 3 you'll have to make sure the phone has been region unlocked as well so you can use it outside of China, so a bit more hassle there. Redmi is a little more hassle free in this regard since they don't have region lock.

To me it has a nicer layout on the homescreen when it comes to large folders, I like the more iOS style control centre and notification centre, it has a bit more gaming features (like in genshin being able to run the game at higher resolution natively), it has a manual video mode (something that OPPO refuses to add for some reason), and i find HyperOS a bit better in terms of auto brightness adjustment. Just that xiaomi is a little slower when it comes to updates, and "smoothness" probably is a little behind ColorOS 14 (the latests few versions). Also, xiaomi isn't doing any of the nonsense region lock like OnePlus is doing for their CN phones, so it's a little easier in that sense too.

What controller you are using? Is it compatible with the ppsspp emulator?
it's the 8bit pro 2, however not sure if it works with ppsspp or not though since i don't use the app. I've seen ppl using PS5 and xbox controllers though and iOS controller support is pretty good, so my guess is it probably would?
Hi Alex, do you have any problem with notification especially with Whatapp when you using OnePlus with color os china rom ? Like notification got delay or no notification at all when you left phone locked/screen off ?
hi there, for notifications, have to change app settings to allow them to run in the background, etc. if not there will be delay or even no notification until reopen the app. It's the same for all the CN phones I've tested so far though. but once changed, then notifications would come in as per usual.
@@axhng I recently bought phone with HyperOS China rom, even I already did what you mentioned like set app to auto start, disable battery restrictions & locked app on recent apps I still got delayed or something not getting any notification at all for Whatapp until I turned on the screen or unlock the phone, so I decided to sold those phone and now planning to buy OnePlus with ColorOS if there's no problem with notification, especially with Whatapp
Thanks for reviewing this, currently budgeting a new replacement for my phone with this being its alternative. Is there any recent updates to the game optimization/ or in-game center suite (OriginOS) to force frame interpolation in selected games, ones that aren't reliant on being the CN ver / global ver. I'm aware the 1+ Ace 3/ 3 Pro offers the gaming features, but ain't a big fan of its screen and selection of camera hardware.
hi there. no updated to the game features still unfortunately, and the game will need to be whitelisted by the phone before the frame interpolation feature will show up. So like Genshin for example, the global client won't show the option for frame interpolation at all, unlike the OnePlus CN phones which is a bit more general. IIRC it was the same for Xiaomi too. 😅
Bought myself one as my first iPhone
What's the update policy of this phone? Is it the same as the Neo 9 pro global 3 + 4 years?
i have no idea actually since CN side they usually don't mention this. looking at www.vivo.com.cn/originos the oldest mid range phone that is listed to have originOS4 is S12 series which is around 2-3 years old, it might be around there. but this is just a guess of course, and nothing is certain. security patches wise, i have no clue at all since I only started using CN phones this year. but at least in the 2 months that I've been using Neo9S Pro, i've gotten the June patch last month, and then just earlier today the July patch. no idea if they will keep this pace up in the long run or not though, but it's looking to be better than Xiaomi at least.
When ends the security software updates in this phone? Have it 2 years now.
Does it has green line problem as found in Xperia 5 ii ?
the green line will probably have a chance of appearing on all phones with OLED screens, since that's just the result of screen failure. my guess is it's something related to heat damaging the display, and since a lot of the older sony phones don't have great thermals, and the 5iii is using the hot SD888, my guess is that it'll have a higher chance of getting green lines too.
How many OS years and security years that OnePlus ace 3 provided?
i don't recall any mention of that, but that's the same for most China phones. They usually don't mention or promise the duration OS/security updates.
k70 pro is better than oneplus ace 3? nah

Is the phone still holding up well after 8 months ?

Poco F6 pro vs OnePlus Ace 3. Which one is better for you? 🙏
personally, probably Ace3 since the hardware is better on paper. bigger battery, nicer screen, better fingerprint sensor, better build quality. I can live with CN software as well. the only thing is perhaps the curve screen which is a bit of a hassle when finding screen protectors. but if it's the K70 Pro, or K70 Ultra, then I'll probably lean towards those more since performance is something i care about. But if you want something with proper global ROM, then no choice but to go with the F6 Pro. 😅
@@axhngfound on Ali, OnePlus ace 3 variant 16/512 gb for 350 euro, and F6 pro 12/256 gb for 333 euro. My only concern is OnePlus main camera. People says it is really weak and even worse than Poco 😐
In country the Redmi K70 (Non Pro) is $30 cheaper, in that price would you recommend it over Oneplus Ace 3?
hmm... i wouldn't recommend it over the Ace3, but it will be a good option if you absolutely don't want a curve screen? If you don't mind it, the Ace3 might still be a worth it since it does have slightly better hardware IMO. Better build quality, bigger battery, nicer screen (resolution is a bit lower but i found the colours and consistency a little better compared to the K70 Pro i had), and the fingerprint sensor position is higher and easier to use.
@@axhng I am also leaning towards the Ace 3, my only concern is the curved screen. I don't mind the look of it, but I think it is more prone to crack when accidentally dropped which will eventually happened. Thanks a lot for reply and insight, great review btw 👍
@@ChrisLuck-mz5mx thanks! no problem at all. completely understand on the curve screen part since that was a concern for me as well, plus it's a lot harder and more expensive to get screen protectors for curved screens. another option could be the K70 Ultra for a bit more? at least that would have a flat screen as well as a bigger battery like the Ace 3. the newer and more powerful chip will help it last longer, and it has IP68 too.

Hi, it's easy to flash Global rom to this device. Then google pay, android auto will work? Anyone knows?
xdaforums.com/t/ace-3-to-12r-how-i-converted-my-oneplus-ace-3-to-12r.4663519/ AFAIK, it's not easy? and there are issues still from what I've read. if you care about android auto, probably better just to get the official 12R instead or perhaps the 12. I think the CN version of the OnePlus 12 can be converted to global ROM with almost no issue (aside from hardware differences like no eSIM for CN version).
Actually im talking about flashing global rom with google play services installed and locked bootloader for banking apps etc. Its hybrid ROM for Google functions. But allows only manual/local OTA update. On ace 3 forum on xda, please check the thread title : [HOW TO] Install ColorOS "Global" edition and lock bootloader.
@@emrahpoland that seems like some sort of a hybrid ROM which seems to have its own "peculiarities" like being unable to get official OTA since it is not exactly "official". I guess if that's not an issue for you, it's fine. But since official CN ColorOS already works fine with banking apps, google pay, and I don't need android auto or google location history, I feel like it's too much hassle. 😅
Why my ace3 can't open gamespace😢 pls help
have you checked if you have allowed the necessary permissions? it's one of the items on the long list of things they ask you to turn on on first boot, and if you unchecked it and denied the permission, gamespace won't work IIRC. i think that settings is inside settings somewhere. I don't have the phone anymore so can't verify, but it might be under "additional services" or "additional settings".
@@axhng I enable everything and still not working😭
@@chovkimlim1030 hmm. how about in app settings? has it been disabled or anything of that sort? or permission to show it over other apps? if not then i'm out of idea. maybe a reboot, or even a factory reset might be needed...
@@axhng3:42 it always show notification when I swipe
@@chovkimlim1030 if it's a game in landscape mode, swiping from the side shouldn't be showing notification even if gamespace isn't working. or is the game you're playing being recognised as a game? IIRC i think some games have to be added manually in settings for gamespace. if the game isn't being recognised as a game, that could be a possible reason too.. hmm.
You think the k70 ultra is better then this?
on paper at least, performance and battery life should be better. plus it has IP68 too. but k70 pro does still seem to have better camera hardware, and screen is higher resolution too. ultimately i think they're pretty similar so whichever is cheaper would be the better deal imo.
Do you want video editor
I'm in the UK can i buy it or will it not work properly
just have to make sure that the device has been region unlocked. if not, it might not work properly after a while (calling functions will be blocked). if it's too much of a hassle, probably easier to just get the 12R instead since it's sold officially there. cause as far as i know, it's still not possible to do a proper conversion from colorOS to oxygenOS without complications and hassle.
Does this phone have IP rating?
there is no official IP rating as far as I know.
This phone can wireless charging ?
it doesn't support wireless charging. only the 1iii or the newer 5iv supports that.
Hi, i am based in SG and is looking to get this phone in Chinese ROM. i would like to know if there is any differences between global ROM that I should be aware of? Thanks!!!
hi, the main thing to note is probably that some google features won't work. Like Google Location History (affects Google Opinion Rewards, Google location timeline), Nearby Share (nearby file sharing i think? and maybe Android Wear won't work properly? not too sure about this since I don't use those features), and no Android Auto. There might be others I'm not aware of though since I there are a lot of google services I don't use. then the more minor stuff is probably notifications delay for some apps, but that can be easily fixed by changing app settings to let them run in background. there are CN apps preinstalled too, but most of them can be removed. then there are some CN specific features that won't work without a CN oppo account like some of their AI stuff. the plus side of CN ROM is that they have more options for customisation compared to Global OxygenOS/ColorOS, and they offer more granular controls over app permissions. This is just software, and hardware wise the Ace3 seems to be slightly better compared to the 12R. UFS 4.0 vs 3.1, and Ace3 has the Pixelworks X7 Visual Processor (some gaming features uses this for frame interpolation, etc).
will u review the iQOO Neo9S Pro+ too? and is the camera on these 2 phones better than on oneplus's nord 4?
probably won't be, since I've already tried a few SD8Gen3 phones and other than that, bigger battery, and the fingerprint sensor, they're probably very similar. SD8Gen3 and D9300+ perform quite similarly anyway. Hardware wise the Neo9S Pro does have better camera sensors for both the main and ultrawide. not sure about main camera performance, but if the nord 4's ultrawide camera is the same 8MP sensor they've been using on their lower end devices, like the Ace3 for example, it likely wouldn't be as good as the neo9s Pro or Pro+. OnePlus' front camera image processing tends to be a bit more natural looking as well compared to iQOO's in general.
@@axhngThat makes sense. The nord 4's ultrawide is pretty bad yeah, both the front and the ultrawide seem the same to Ace3 by specs alone. Right now neo9s pro+ is winning me over with the feature rich specs and a slightly better camera. But I'm not sure how much the chinese OS will hold me back even with the english language, since people said there will still be some chinese in some apps. Thanks for your insight
🎉
Now i am interested to get K70. Anybody has experience buying direct from taobao. Any shipping issues to sg? Possible to ship by air or must by sea?
I've not tried getting a phone from taobao yet, but the process should be straightforward. I've seen some sellers offer the option for direct air shipping too. the price for direct air shipping usually includes GST, service charge and all that too. Though unless there is a particularly good promo, perhaps the new K70 Ultra could be an option too. I saw earlier on taobao from the official store "小米官方旗舰店“ that k70 ultra is around 540SGD, whereas if it's K70 during non promo period i only slightly cheaper...
@@axhngThanks for the tips.
I have neo 9s pro it's not bad at all 😍 love it! 👍
Hi, I would to ask is this able to continue update to latest OS? And support google play and location?
i did get OTA update when i was using it. it has basic google services and able to install play store, and regular GPS works, so google maps, etc works. just that Google Location History doesn't.
In 2024 this looks like the new higher end power-banks.. lol. I 100% thought that’s what this video was for from the thumbnail at first.
🤣🤣🤣
It's better to start with a dash attack because then you can do fire move for every single M1s
If you time m1s after the 4th sequence it actually still triggers the fire attack this basically just makes it so you can do the 4th basic attack sequence a bit more times than dashing first
thank you for the review sir much love from the philippines
Dear does it support esim?
unfortunately no. if i'm not mistaken, only the US version OnePlus 12R will have eSIM support. Even the global version of OnePlus 12R in Singapore doesn't seem to support eSIM.
@@axhngI have a Chinese version of OnePlus ace 3, Is there any way to use esim features ?
@@axhngso OnePlus 12r supports esim but not in Singapore ? However it supports other regions?
which one would you choose? k70 pro or iqoo 12?
between the 2.. probably the iQOO 12 but only if it's CN ROM. if it's global ROM iQOO 12 vs k70 Pro, I will probably lean more towards K70 Pro since software experience is quite important to me and FunTouchOS is just.... not that great imo... iQOO 12 is a bit more expensive, but the camera performance is noticeably better to me and i think worth the extra if you care about camera quality. Plus smaller things like haptics, and speakers are better too. But personally at this point, i might not consider the K70 Pro anymore even if i don't care about camera quality, since there is the new Neo9S Pro+ which also has a SD8Gen3 processor, but has bigger battery as well as ultrasonic fingerprint sensor.😅or even the older Neo9 Pro or Neo9S Pro are both still good options if you're okay with mediatek's chipset.
@@axhng oh I didn't know there's a new neo9s pro variant, i guess I'll have to take a look on that one, and see which of these phone i will buy. thank you for that information.
Hi, I have question for you, I want to buy a new phone and I have 2 phone that I consider to buy, between this Oneplus Ace 3 vs Redmi K70 which one you think is better value for the money ? Here in Malaysia the different in price around RM100 (SGD28) which is K70 a little bit cheaper than Ace 3. For the preference I actually prefer flat screen more than curve screen but for the software I never use ColorOS or HyperOS before (been using OneUI for the past 4 years) but based on review that I watched I think I prefer ColorOS more than HyperOS, so which phone do you think better/good for me ?
the difference isn't huge and specs wise the Ace3 looks better. bigger battery, better screen, better fingerprint sensor, and OnePlus tends to have slightly better gaming performance where as Xiaomi usually is a little more conservative. But you'll have to see if having a curve screen is annoying enough for you or not... screen protectors for curve screens are harder to apply, and also cost more. Personally I tried a few, and the type that works best is the UV film type that similar to the ones they give out of the box. But they're still not as lasting as glass, especially the oleophobic coating, they are harder to apply since you literally only get 1 chance. a single speck of dust, and that's it. I think i probably ruined 2 before i got it right. even then, those are still more expensive than tempered glass. if you can wait a bit, perhaps you could consider the upcoming Nord 4 as well which is a little less powerful, but should have a flat screen, and will be running global ROM which is easier i guess. For Ace 3 you'll have to make sure the phone has been region unlocked as well so you can use it outside of China, so a bit more hassle there. Redmi is a little more hassle free in this regard since they don't have region lock.
@@axhng thank you for the very fast reply, I really appreciated you take some time to write a very detailed review/option, I guess I will wait for a bit and see what the Nord 4 can offer and for the spec I think there's will be not much different from Ace 3V other than the design only
@@pudinichigo91 no problem! hopefully there'll be a bit more than that since for Nord 3 i think they upgraded the camera over the ace2v as well. since from photos the nord4 camera placement is different, it might mean they changed some other things too internally. performance wise 7+Gen3 is not too far behind 8Gen2 anyway unless you're planning to play very demanding games on it.
@@axhng yeah, I hope they will give better sensor for Nord 4 even just for main camera only, btw 1 last question, which one do you like/prefer for the software/UI between ColorOS vs HyperOS? I want to hear your experience or opinion why you like that software/UI compared to others
@@pudinichigo91 between the two, maybe CN HyperOS by a small margin. To me it has a nicer layout on the homescreen when it comes to large folders, I like the more iOS style control centre and notification centre, it has a bit more gaming features (like in genshin being able to run the game at higher resolution natively), it has a manual video mode (something that OPPO refuses to add for some reason), and i find HyperOS a bit better in terms of auto brightness adjustment. Just that xiaomi is a little slower when it comes to updates, and "smoothness" probably is a little behind ColorOS 14 (the latests few versions). Also, xiaomi isn't doing any of the nonsense region lock like OnePlus is doing for their CN phones, so it's a little easier in that sense too. But these will differ from person to person i guess and for some, might not be a deal breaker at all. 😅
👎 green and pink vertical lines after 2 years
Hi. Thanks for the video. Will this phone received security patches，android update in Singapore? Any idea?
hi there. when i was using it i did get an ota update, and it went through just fine. it's the same for other CN phones i've used too from OPPO and vivo. so it most likely will get major android updates just fine too. just that i noticed xiaomi is a bit on the slower side when it comes to security updates compared to the other 2.

have no way to test that but my guess is yes since the adapter output seems to be based on impedance IIRC.
IP Rating?
if i'm not wrong it's just IP54
If the oneplus phone is on ColorOS, will there be updates to it?
OnePlus phones from China run the CN version of ColorOS officially, so it gets OTA updates too.
As long as it is able to be in a custom ROM, it's a good phone for me.
you will need to pay for around $80-$100 to unlock the bootloader and for me that not really worth it

The OnePlus Ace 3 on Giztop claims to have "full Google Mobile Service and Google Play store." Is this real? Is it supposed that having full Google Mobile Service would Google location history and other things work?
i have no idea. i went to see the listing on giztop and it says, "This phone is a Chinese edition, pre-installed global ColorOS with full Google Mobile Service and Google Play store, OTA updating supported." which doesn't make much sense since there is no "global ColorOS" for OnePlus phones, just OxygenOS. Maybe they meant OxygenOS, but then I'm not sure if that will work as perfectly since from XDA, I've seen that conversion from CN ColorOS to global OxygenOS from the 12R has certain issues. Of course maybe they have special or secret tools/methods to do a proper full conversion with no issues with OTA / network. Probably better to just clarify with them, or hopefully someone who has bought from them can help out here.
@@axhng Thanks for the information. I sent them an email asking about it. Some questions since you have the device: Widevine level is L1? Is SafeyNet Passed on this device? I assume you have the 100% Stock CN ROM (which only has Chinese and English?)
@@dionnyvillalona6978 yeah, i have the stock CN ROM. it's L1 and safetynet passed too, so no issues with google pay or banking apps. though i didn't try netflix, amazon prime, etc to see if the device has been whitelisted or not though since I don't use those services. Language wise I can't recall exactly since I don't have the device with me anymore, but i recall it having more than just EN and CN though.
@@axhng I asked them the same question through the online chat (which was offline at the time) and via email. This I asked: "I want to buy the ONEPLUS ACE 3 but I have a question regarding Google Services that claims to be the full version. With the ROM that you install, can I run Google Auto, WearOS, Google Location History and other things that usually fail in Chinese ROMs?". Via email they told me: "we checked this phone only available with original china rom version, which installed with google play store, there is no global rom for this phone." And chat response: "The ONEPLUS ACE 3 supports Google Auto, WearOS, and Google Location History.". The chat response was just a copy-paste of what I said. The answers don't seem very reliable to me.
@@dionnyvillalona6978 The former sounds more accurate since there are some hardware differences between OnePlus Ace 3 and OnePlus 12R, so the ROM from 12R likely still wouldn't work properly without some hassle. Last i read on XDA it was something like losing network signal unless you flash something onto the phone, and i think after every OTA update you'll have to do the same too. it just feels too much like a patchwork and a bit iffy to me. If all those google specific features are important to you, it's probably a better idea to consider the OP12 instead, which I think is able to do a more seamless conversion from ColorOS to OxygenOS.
what's is good about this two phone? neo 9 with sd 8gen2 or Neo9s pro with dimensity 9300+ in the long run of usage?
for neo9 it's probably just the price. for long run usage, the 9300+ will definitely last longer. apps and games will only keep getting more and more demanding over time and the more powerful phone will be more usable longer. 👍the Neo9S Pro+ should be launching soon as well with SD8 Gen 3 based on leaks, so if you want something with snapdragon chip, that could be an option too!
I'm looking to get this or oneplus ace 3. Which one would you recommend?
personally i like the neo9S pro more. flat screen, lighter, better performance when gaming, slightly better camera performance, software experience is better, and there is no need to worry about region lock. but if you want curve screen, brighter screen, better fingerprint sensor, build quality, slightly better battery life, then Ace 3 might be more suitable. Just have to make sure the seller already did a region unlock for you.
@@axhng thank you so much for the reply. I'm not that much into gaming. Which of it do you think would be better for daily media consumption? More on netflix and youtube.
@@rendomingo5674 then perhaps the OnePlus Ace 3? the screen does look nicer and has bigger battery. just have to get used to the curved screen.

Personally I like the Neo9S Pro a bit more because it's lighter, and originOS i think is a little nicer overall. Also prices for the Neo9S Pro seems to be a bit lower too whereas for K70 Pro, despite being much older, prices on taobao and other online shopping platforms was still a bit higher than Neo9S Pro somehow during sales. But they're pretty close though, and both are good phone imo. But at this point, you might want to wait a bit. Ace 3 Pro is launching in China right this moment, SD8Gen with 6100mAh battery.
