August 09, 2025
Update, July 28, 2025 (1:45AM ET):Oppolaunched the Ace 2 earlier this week, delivering a fast charging flagship phone for just under ~$600. Between 65W wired charging and 40W wireless charging, you should be topped up in no time.
Now, OPPO has toldAndroid Authoritythat there are no plans to launch the device outside China. That’s a little disappointing, as it’s one of the cheaperSnapdragon 865phones.
Fortunately, the company has also confirmed that the phone’s charging technology will come to other products and markets in the future. So who knows, we might see the next OPPO,OnePlus, orRealmeflagship touting this tech.
Original article, July 07, 2025 (8:27AM ET):TheOPPO Reno Acewas one of 2019’s standout phones, delivering almost everything you could want from an affordable flagship phone. Now, the firm has decided to drop the ‘Reno’ and launch the OPPO Ace 2.
Oppo’s latest device packs theSnapdragon 865processor, LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.0 storage, and dual-mode5Gconnectivity, as you’d expect from a 2020 flagship. The company is also delivering a 90Hz FHD+ OLED panel with 180Hz touch response rate — in line with the high refresh rate trend we’ve seen in the past year or so.
Much like the Reno Ace,OPPO Find X2 Pro, andrealme X50 Pro, the new smartphone sports 65W wired charging. If it’s anything like the Reno Ace, then you can expect the 4,000mAh battery to fully charge in 35 minutes.

That isn’t the only way you can top up the phone, as the firm’s AirVOOC wireless charging solution delivers 40W charging speeds — tied with theHUAWEI P40 Pro Plus. OPPO says this wireless charger should deliver a full charge in 56 minutes. Chinese users will need to splash out 249 yuan (~$35) for this accessory though, but you can get up to 10W speeds via third-party Qi chargers.
The OPPO Ace 2 also differs 10W reverse wireless charging, so you can top up yourtrue wireless earbudsor a friend’s phone.
The new phone also sports a quad rear camera setup, featuring a 48MP main camera, 8MP ultra-wide snapper (119 degrees), and a pair of 2MP portrait sensors. Don’t expect telephoto zoom capabilities here then. Meanwhile, selfies and video calls are handled by a 16MP camera inside a punch-hole cutout.
Other notable Ace 2 features include an in-display fingerprint sensor, Breeno assistant, better haptic feedback, stereo speakers, and ColorOS 7.1 atopAndroid 10. Don’t expect a3.5mm portthough.
The OPPO Ace 2 will start at 3,999 yuan (~$567) for the 8GB/128GB model, 4,399 yuan (~$624) for the 8GB/256GB variant, and 4,599 yuan (~$652) for the 12GB/256GB option. We’ve asked OPPO about wider availability and will update the article accordingly.
