After the unveiling of the OnePlus Ace in China (which shares a lot of similarities with the realme GT Neo3), the brand announced a new Racing Edition that’s more affordable than the regular variant.
While you still get a Dimensity 8100-Max processor (which should match the Snapdragon 888 according to benchmarks), the Ace Racing Edition settles for a smaller 6.59-inch IPS display with a still-fast 120hz refresh rate. The main camera is now a more conventional 64-megapixel snapper sans OIS, and the selfie shooter is now a 16-megapixel variety.
Other notable features include stereo speakers, 67w wired charging, a headphone jack, and a partnership with Razer where the Ace Racing Edition’s X-axis linear motor recreates the haptic feedback of Razer’s BlackWidow and Mercury keyboards.
