OnePlus has revealed the Ace 7 and Ace 7 Pro ahead of their October 29 launch event in China, with official images placing the series’ integrated active-cooling system at the center of the design. The handsets appear in six colorways across the pair, and the cooling hardware is more visually prominent than the camera module.
The Ace 7 gets an exclusive red-to-orange gradient finish, while the Ace 7 Pro is shown in a blue-and-silver option with a texture said to be inspired by airflow. Black and white finishes will be shared by both models.
Air intake is incorporated into the camera-area design, which OnePlus calls Storm Island. A customizable illuminated element beneath it is intended for notifications and gaming. OnePlus says the cooling system uses two airflow paths—one for the chipset and another for the rear panel—to direct hot air away from users’ fingers during landscape gaming.
The Ace 7 Pro is expected to use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, while the standard Ace 7 is rumored to receive a V Series version of the same platform. Active cooling appears set to be a shared feature, extending the gaming-oriented direction OnePlus previously explored with the Ace 6 Ultra, which also combined a large battery with dedicated accessories.
The Ace line is aimed at China’s performance-phone segment. OnePlus has not announced availability beyond China, while pricing, memory configurations and the reported 200-megapixel main camera remain to be confirmed at the October 29 event.
