The phone's Energy Efficiency and temperature control are excellent, thanks to the seamless integration of advanced software and Hardware Technologies
The OnePlus ace5 Pro delivers smooth gameplay free of stuttering or frame drops at 1080p quality at 120 FPS
It has a fast charging feature with a 100 watt Super Flash charge that can fully charge the phone in just 34 minutes

Weaknesses

There is no mention of battery life, which might be a concern for users who plan to use their phones extensively
The phone's design is described as 'durable', but there's no specific detail about its build quality or materials used
No comparison with other smartphones in terms of performance, camera capabilities, or display quality is made in the text
Some users might find the phone's bypass power supply feature to be a novelty rather than a practical advantage
The standard version of OnePlus ace5 has an older Snapdragon 8 gen 3 chip, which may not match the gaming experience of the Pro variant

Samsung Galaxy S25

Strengths

Zero risk for Samsung with this spec bump, making it a textbook example of a zero-risk upgrade.
The new chip, Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, might be a big enough bump that we notice it and maybe we don't even need a much bigger battery.
The new ISP on the chip might breathe new life into these cameras, potentially surprising us with better performance.
Samsung has been good about software updates lately, promising seven years of updates on their newest flagships.
The new One UI 7 is a refreshed look with fresh aesthetics and iOS-inspired features, making it a nice update to the S25.

Weaknesses

It's just a spec bump, with no IP69, no silicon carbide battery, no ultra-fast charging, and no brighter display.
The new camera features might not be enough to justify an upgrade for those who already have a decently new phone.
Some of the AI features are cool but debatable in terms of how much value they bring to the phone.
Clear cases can turn yellow over time, which is a problem dbrand's Ghost Case 2.0 aims to solve.
The only way to tell the S25 Ultra from the S24 is by a new colorway, making it hard for some users to justify an upgrade.
