OPPO Ace2: Not only a gaming phone, but also a charging device with 4 times the charging efficiency of iPhone

Looking back half a year ago, when the first generation of OPPO Ace came out, relying on the advantages of "high performance and hard-core technology", sales exceeded 10,000 in 3 minutes after it went on sale, and sales exceeded 100 million yuan in 5 minutes after it went on sale.

Perhaps because of the great recognition given by the market, half a year later, OPPO announced that Ace had become an independent product series, and immediately released the second-generation product in the series - OPPO Ace2.

I believe many consumers are also very curious. The product and market performance of the first-generation OPPO Ace has reached a height that ordinary products cannot reach. How should OPPO Ace2 be updated to surpass the first generation?

OPPO’s answer is to break through the limits and reach new heights.

A rare "thin and light" product in the 5G era

The first impression of OPPO Ace2 is "thin and light". You know, in the 5G era, most mobile phones are close to 1 cm thick and weigh more than 200g (some mobile phones weigh nearly half a pound, and they feel heavy when put in your trouser pocket) because they have to fit more sensors and large batteries. However, OPPO Ace2 is only 8.6mm thick and weighs only 185g. You won't feel tired even if you hold it in one hand for a long time.

Every millimeter of space in a mobile phone is calculated accurately by engineers, and every gram of weight reduction means a huge workload. From this point of view, the weight and thickness of OPPO Ace2 undoubtedly represent the industry's top manufacturing standards.

In addition to being thin and light, the visual experience of OPPO Ace2 is also excellent. On the front of the body, it is equipped with a 6.55-inch full-screen with a hole. The chin of the screen is basically the same width as the left and right sides, and the screen-to-body ratio reaches 91.8%. In addition, the screen of OPPO Ace2 also supports an ultra-high refresh rate of 90HZ. The combination of these two factors makes the content presented by OPPO Ace2 far superior to many competing products, and the picture effect of the entire screen is closer to real and natural.

On the back of the body, OPPO Ace2 adopts a large arc design. When held in one hand, the curvature on both sides of the body fits perfectly with the curvature of the palm, giving it a rounded feel and a smooth visual transition. Coupled with the thin body, OPPO Ace2 has the industry's top one-handed holding feel.

Although OPPO Ace2 is equipped with a four-camera lens module, OPPO has arranged the four cameras neatly through an ingenious "Oreo" circular design. In addition, the yin-yang intersection design of the outer ring of the "Oreo" module further increases the sense of integration between the four-camera lens and the body.

OPPO Ace2 places the SIM card slot at the bottom of the body, and the whole machine adopts a dual speaker design. Therefore, a speaker is placed in the symmetrical position of the SIM card slot. In this way, when we hold the phone horizontally to play games, we can avoid blocking the speaker. It is a model of the combination of design and function.

From the appearance point of view, OPPO Ace2 continues OPPO's usual exquisite design language. It not only achieves advantages beyond the industry level in terms of weight and thickness, but also establishes new design ideas for the increasingly homogeneous mobile phone market.

Software that works in harmony with the hardware

OPPO Ace2 is equipped with ColorOS 7.1, a deeply customized system based on Android 10, featuring "lightness and boundlessness". As one of the earliest companies in China to customize the Android system, OPPO has updated seven generations of ColorOS, with almost no omissions in basic functions.

Overall, ColorOS 7.1 is characterized by a fresh style, with rounded rectangular icons. Against the elegant white background, the colorful controls of ColorOS 7.1 add liveliness to the system. Coupled with the 90Hz high refresh rate screen, ColorOS 7.1 has a shocking look and feel of "jumping off the screen".

In terms of function, the biggest highlight of ColorOS 7.1 is its support for dark mode. Since the screen material of OPPO Ace2 is OLED, turning on the dark mode can protect your eyes and save power. It is worth noting that ColorOS 7.1 can not only achieve dark mode for system applications, but also adapt to a wide range of third-party applications, bringing a coordinated and consistent user experience.

In addition, in order to give users a more immersive gaming experience, ColorOS 7.1 has also added a "Hyper Boost" function, which can increase the average response time of touch clicks by up to 35%, and can also mobilize system resources in a targeted manner during gaming, improving gaming performance by up to 20%.

In general, on the basis of achieving the ultimate in hardware, OPPO Ace2 has not neglected the construction of the software level. Through targeted optimization of high-refresh screens, games and other scenarios, it brings users a consistent experience of software and hardware synchronization.

Unrivaled photography capabilities

Although it is positioned as a hard-core technology player, this does not mean that OPPO Ace2 does not have a good camera. In terms of parameters, OPPO Ace2 is equipped with a 48-megapixel main camera + 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle + 2-megapixel light leakage portrait + 2-megapixel retro portrait quad-camera combination. The main camera is Sony IMX586, with a large aperture of f/1.7 and supports four-in-one pixel aggregation technology. OPPO Ace2 has all the hot ultra-wide-angle, ultra-high pixel and other photography functions in the mobile phone industry.

In addition, at the software level, OPPO Ace2 also adds AI photography function, which can intelligently identify the shooting scene and automatically adjust the shooting parameters. The high integration of software and hardware means that OPPO Ace2 will have a very eye-catching photography performance. Pictures are worth a thousand words, let's take a look at the sample photos of OPPO Ace2.

In backlit scenes, OPPO Ace2's exposure control is very accurate, neither making the dark areas too dark nor the highlights overexposed, presenting a very balanced look and feel.

When shooting bright objects, OPPO Ace2 can bring very accurate color reproduction. For example, if the dark pink and light pink in the center of the flower in the picture above were shot with a regular camera, they might blend into one, but OPPO Ace2 can distinguish different levels.

Thanks to the support of AI algorithms, when shooting static buildings, OPPO Ace2 can intelligently adjust the shooting parameters to make the color and light and shadow contrast in the picture more obvious, presenting a "blockbuster" texture.

It is worth mentioning that since the quality of OPPO Ace2's main camera is high enough, it can also take 48-megapixel ultra-high-pixel photos. Judging from the photos of flowers taken by OPPO Ace2, even if the original image is enlarged 100%, the details of the stamens are still clear.

Overall, thanks to its powerful hardware foundation, OPPO Ace2's photography capabilities are very impressive and unmatched in the industry. Whether it is backlight, flowers, buildings or other complex scenes, OPPO Ace2 can easily handle them. From this perspective, we can also see OPPO's product concept - even if there are clear product goals, it will not cut corners on the functions that consumers just need.

A "gaming phone" is hidden under the thin and light appearance

As a mobile phone focusing on gaming experience, performance is undoubtedly the highlight of OPPO Ace2. In terms of parameters, OPPO Ace2 is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 856 processor, LPDDR4x/LPDDR5 and UFS 3.0 storage. It can be said that this is almost the peak of current smartphone performance.

Judging from the running scores, OPPO Ace2 can reach an astonishing 596536 points in AnTuTu, 4356 points in Geekbench single-core, and 12240 points in multi-core, which is definitely the level of a flagship phone.

Since the screen refresh rate of OPPO Ace2 reaches 90Hz and the touch sampling rate has been increased from 135Hz of the previous generation to the current 180Hz, we can clearly feel the new experience brought by the powerful performance of OPPO Ace2.

In order to intuitively feel the gaming performance of OPPO Ace2, we let OPPO Ace2 and iPhone 11 run "Peace Elite" at the same time. It can be clearly felt that the picture of OPPO Ace2 is smoother and the operation is more convenient. It is no wonder that OPPO Ace2 can become the official game machine of the 2020 PEL Peace Elite Professional League.

Of course, in addition to the powerful performance, we cannot ignore the heat dissipation problem. After all, no matter how good the game performance is, it is meaningless if the chip temperature cannot be suppressed. In order to control the temperature, OPPO Ace2 has added a T-shaped VC covering more than 80% of the motherboard area, and is also supplemented with multi-layer graphite and new heat-absorbing materials.

In order to actually experience the temperature control of OPPO Ace2, we let OPPO Ace2 turn on the highest special effects of "Peace Elite" and run it continuously for 30 minutes. As a result, the frame rate of OPPO Ace2 did not change at all, and the temperature of the entire body did not rise significantly. The palm of the hand only felt warm.

4000mAh large battery + 65W fast charging, no more power anxiety

OPPO Ace2 is a 5G mobile phone. How to improve the battery life while ensuring the body is thin and light is a problem that OPPO Ace2 must face. In response to this problem, OPPO Ace2 has made two preparations, one is to increase the battery capacity, and the other is to improve the charging efficiency.

OPPO Ace2 is equipped with a large 4000mAh battery. Although this battery capacity is not the largest in today's mobile phone market, we cannot ignore that the thickness of OPPO Ace2 is only 8.6mm. Therefore, this battery capacity is still very satisfactory.

In actual testing, the parameters of "Peace Elite" were adjusted to the highest and run continuously for 1 hour. OPPO Ace2 only lost 13% of its power. Converted to our daily scenarios, it can definitely cope with a day of heavy use.

It is worth mentioning that, perhaps because OPPO is confident enough in its own battery life, OPPO Ace2 has also added a 10W reverse wireless charging function. By simply turning on this function at the software level, you can charge the wireless mobile devices of your family and friends anytime and anywhere.

On the other hand, in order to charge the large battery faster, OPPO Ace2 also supports 65W SuperVOOC wired fast charging and 40W AirVOOC wireless fast charging.

In order to intuitively feel the charging speed of OPPO Ace2, we made a wired comparison between it and the iPhone 11, which supports a maximum charging power of 18W.

The results showed that OPPO Ace2 only took 38 minutes to charge from 1% to 100%, while the iPhone 11 only charged 61% of the power in 38 minutes, and it took 2 hours and 11 minutes to charge to 100%, which is almost 4 times that of OPPO Ace2.

Of course, the biggest highlight of OPPO Ace2 is its support for 40W AirVOOC wireless fast charging. Considering that most smartphones currently only support a maximum of 10W wireless charging, this further highlights the revolutionary nature of OPPO Ace2 40W AirVOOC wireless fast charging.

It is worth noting that the OPPO 40W AirVOOC wireless flash charger not only brings the ultimate charging function to the OPPO Ace2, but also supports the Qi wireless charging standard. Therefore, we can use the OPPO 40W AirVOOC wireless flash charger to charge the OPPO Ace2 and the iPhone 11 that supports the Qi wireless charging standard. Let's feel how much faster the OPPO Ace2's 40W AirVOOC wireless fast charging is compared to the industry's common "10W" wireless power?

After actual testing, OPPO Ace2 was charged to 70% after 30 minutes of using the 40W AirVOOC wireless flash charger, while iPhone 11 was only charged to 19%. At the 60th minute, OPPO Ace2 was fully charged, while iPhone 11 was just charged to 45%. It took three hours for iPhone 11 to be fully charged, and the total charging time was three times that of OPPO Ace2.

Interestingly, since the AirVOOC wireless flash charger supports 40W wireless charging power, it will inevitably heat up when charging. To solve this problem, OPPO cleverly added a turbo butterfly air cooling design to AirVOOC. During wireless charging, neither OPPO Ace2 nor AirVOOC wireless flash chargers heat up.

Summarize

As the first product after the Ace series became independent, OPPO Ace2 inherits the concept of "high performance and hard-core technology" of the previous generation of products, and has also made great progress in photography, appearance, battery life and other aspects, and is indeed worthy of the name of Ace. I believe that after OPPO Ace2 is launched, it will surely trigger a buying frenzy again.

Back to the OPPO brand, as a manufacturer focusing on offline stores, after the mobile phone market dividend will disappear in 2019, it has released the Find series, Reno series, and Ace series products, and cultivated online channels. In just one year, it has brought out eye-catching products such as OPPO Ace2, which is absolutely inseparable from its own deep technical foundation.

According to data released by IDC, OPPO shipped 30.6 million units in the fourth quarter of 2019, accounting for 8.3% of the market share, making it one of the only two mobile phone brands in the industry to show growth. Through the powerful product strength of OPPO Ace2, we may also understand why OPPO's shipments can continue to rise against the trend.

Let the product itself convince the market. There is no doubt that OPPO Ace2 has done it.
