Pros and Cons

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.

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?

Samsung Galaxy M54

The Samsung Galaxy M54 is a solid mid-range smartphone that offers a great balance between features and price. The device features a large 6.7-inch AMOLED display, a quad-camera setup with a 108MP primary sensor, and a long-lasting 5000mAh battery. Performance-wise, the phone is powered by a mid-tier Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, which while not the most powerful, still manages to handle everyday tasks and gaming with ease. The device runs on Android 13 out of the box and comes with Samsung's One UI 5.1 skin. The camera setup on the M54 is impressive, capturing detailed images and videos in various lighting conditions. However, low-light performance could be improved. The phone also supports 8K video recording and has a dedicated Night mode for better low-light shots. Gaming on the M54 is acceptable, with good fluidity in less demanding titles like Call of Duty and SpongeBob. However, more graphics-intensive games may struggle to maintain high frame rates or experience stability issues. In terms of battery life, the phone easily lasts a day and a half with moderate use, and fast charging support makes it easy to top up quickly when needed. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy M54 is a great option for those looking for a reliable mid-range smartphone with excellent cameras, a large display, and long battery life. While gaming performance may not be the best, it's still a great device that won't break the bank.
