OnePlus Ace Racing Edition

Strengths

The phone's plastic material with matte finish can be very effective in preventing fingerprints.
The support for 3.5 millimeter headphone jack is a welcome feature, especially for gamers who want to avoid high latency or wireless headphones.
The phone's 1080p 120hz lcd screen looks sharper than the OnePlus Ace, especially when displaying text.
The side recognition button serving as a fingerprint reader has better unlock speed and success rate compared to under-screen fingerprint recognition.
The phone's gaming performance is able to compare to oneplus flagships, with a frame rate of around 50 fps in PUBG and up to 40 fps with HDR graphics settings.
The ultra wide angle lens performs similarly well as the OnePlus Ace, with better detail and color performance.
The phone's battery life is decent, with fast charging capabilities that can charge up to 71% in just 30 minutes.
The phone's price range makes it a good entry-level product for new users who are new to oneplus.

Weaknesses

The design of the OnePlus Ace Racing Edition is based on Oppo K10, making it hard to notice the difference between them.
The back cover and material are similar to the Oppo K10, which may not be good for heat dissipation during gaming tests.
The camera module looks identical to that of the Oppo K10, although OnePlus has added a decorative camera shape in the lower right corner.
The phone actually has only two lenses really working in daily shooting and another macro lens of only 2 megapixels.
The LCD screen doesn't perform as well as OLED in terms of color contrast and brightness, with lighter colors and lower contrast.
The phone doesn't support HDR content or Always-On Display (AOD), which may be a disappointment for some users.
The phone's performance optimization is still too conservative, resulting in frame rates dropping to around 40 fps during gaming tests.
The main camera doesn't support OIS anti-shaking, although this may not be a concern for the phone's target group.

Apple iPhone 12 Pro

The Apple iPhone 12 Pro boasts several upgrades over its predecessor. The device features a larger screen with improved durability, powered by a significantly faster chipset that also supports 5G connectivity. Portrait photography has seen an improvement, thanks to enhanced depth mapping provided by the new lidar camera, which enables more precise subject separation and better detail in portrait shots. The iPhone 12 Pro's camera system also includes a wider-angle ultra-wide lens, which now supports night mode for improved low-light performance. The device's selfie camera is capable of capturing detailed images with good contrast and color balance, and it can take high-quality selfies even in low light conditions. When shooting video, the iPhone 12 Pro delivers excellent quality, particularly when using the main or telephoto lenses. However, the ultra-wide lens produces mediocre results, and low-light footage from this camera is especially poor. One notable omission is a charger; users will have to provide their own. Furthermore, the device's display still lags behind in terms of refresh rate and resolution compared to some other smartphones on the market. In comparison to the standard iPhone 12, the Pro model offers two key upgrades: an optical zoom feature that allows for more versatility in camera shots, and a lidar camera that enhances depth mapping. However, the price difference between these models varies depending on the region; while it may be worth paying extra for the upgraded camera system in some markets, others may find the standard iPhone 12 to be the better value proposition. Overall, the Apple iPhone 12 Pro represents an incremental upgrade over its predecessor, offering improved performance and features without a significant price increase. Whether or not these upgrades are worth the investment will depend on individual priorities and needs.

OnePlus Ace Racing Edition

The OnePlus Ace series has shifted focus from flagship products to budget offerings, raising questions about the brand's identity. The latest addition, the Ace Racing Edition, boasts a Dimension 8100 Max processor and 150W fast charging, but at the cost of some high-end features. A closer look reveals similarities with the Oppo K10, sparking debate among fans. With a less impressive camera setup and no OIS support, this phone may struggle to live up to OnePlus' typically high standards. Can it still deliver strong gaming performance?
