On April 7, OPPO announced the formal independence of the Ace series. As the second generation product of the Ace series, how does Ace2 improve compared with the Ace generation? What are the advantages of mobile phones from other manufacturers? Let's hurry to experience a wave.

Appearance&Weight
The appearance design of Ace2 has changed a lot this time. The most obvious change is that the rear camera adopts the design of "Oreo", and the cameras are arranged in a square way. At present, the recognition of "Oreo" is higher than that of "traffic lights". As for the beautiful layout, different people have different opinions;
The front has become a very "popular" hole digging screen, and the frame is a little narrower than the previous generation.
In fact, the more impressive thing about Ace2 this time is its weight. The overall weight is 185g, and the Ace generation's weight is 200g. The weight loss is 15g, and the body thickness is 8.6mm. This is also a relatively rare Snapdragon 865 phone with a weight less than 200g;
In fact, it is much lighter. If you have used a 200g mobile phone before, you will be liberated after starting Ace2;
Of course, there are a lot of trade-offs behind the thin and light, such as the plastic material used for the frame. Although the surface has been treated with metal frosting, it still feels plastic. There is no cold feeling of metal. The back is still glass. But the quality of this glass is not as good as Ace generation. In short, it is lighter and less textured.
It is worth mentioning that the hand feel of Ace2 this time is a qualitative leap over that of the previous generation, and it has no scratch feeling at all. The frame and back cover are connected very well, and it is very comfortable to hold (It may be that the plastic frame is better processed.) 。
This one in our hand is a dreamy purple color matching. It actually looks like a mirror. The mirror is simply a proper fingerprint collector. It looks good only when there is no fingerprint.
The front is a 6.5 inch hole digging screen with a resolution of 2400x1080, E3 material, and the measured maximum manual brightness is 496 nit. The quality of the screen belongs to the current mainstream level, so there is no problem; The screen refresh rate is 90Hz, and the touch sampling rate is 180Hz;
performance
Ace2 is equipped with Snapdragon 865 SoC, 8/12GB running memory (8GB is LPDDR4x, 12GB is LPDDR5) , 128/256GB UFS3.0 fuselage storage; Dual mode 5G and WiFi6, these configurations should be familiar to everyone, and the performance should not be worried. Let's simply look at the score run;

game
20 minute "HD+extreme frame rate" peace elite (90 frames can be opened with smooth image quality) , power consumption 7%, maximum temperature of the back 42 ℃, in the camera area, maximum temperature of the front 43 ℃, in the upper half; The overall performance of the game is very stable. The whole process is basically 60 frames. At present, Snapdragon 865 is easy to deal with mainstream games.
20 minute "Smooth+90Hz" peace elite, the whole process is basically full frame operation, without pressure.
The functions of the game assistant are also very rich, such as: game voice change, fast cut net, bullet screen notification, etc.
System&Experience
Ace2 is equipped with ColorOS 7.1 based on Android 10. After several firmware updates, the 90Hz optimization is much more stable. The daily use is very smooth, and the stability is also good. Compared with ColorOS 6, the UI interface is more beautiful, and there are more practical functions, such as three finger area screenshots, flash back keys, etc. In general, ColorOS is no longer the short board of OPPO mobile phones, but a very good standard in the Android camp.
This time Ace2 has removed the extremely advanced 3.5mm headphone connector, which is a pity for mobile phones playing games. Type-C earphones are included in the package;
The external speaker is still a dual stereo speaker, which I think is very good in the actual sense of hearing. The stereo sense is great, and the sound is relatively symmetrical, which is a relatively excellent level in the Android camp;
The vibration motor is a Z-axis linear motor. The experience is no different from that of Ace generation, and there is still a gap between it and the X-axis linear motor. However, it is not a problem to hang the rotor motor.
Equipped with full function NFC, it can open bus cards, bind bank cards, add access cards, etc.

Wired charging
(Ace2 charging power)
The charging of Ace2 is still a very powerful 65W super fast charge. After our actual measurement, we found a more interesting situation. We started charging from 5%, and it took about 38 minutes to fully charge. At first, the author didn't believe it. After all, it took only 26 minutes for the Ace generation to fully charge last year;
After our comparison, we found that the charging power of Ace2 is not so radical, The peak power of Ace Generation 1 is about 55W and can last for about 5 minutes. Although the peak power of Ace Generation 2 is also about 55W, it can only last for about 50 seconds, or even shorter. The power behind is not so radical, so the total charging time of Ace Generation 2 is slower than that of Ace Generation 1 in terms of final performance;
This "driving backward" performance is still disappointing, but it is only compared with the previous generation, and compared with other brands horizontally, Ace2's charging speed is still strong;
Wireless charging
This time, Ace2 has also added wireless charging function. With its own 40W AirVOOC wireless flash charger, the maximum charging power can reach 40W. At present, this wireless flash charger is priced at 249 yuan;
According to our actual measurement, it takes 59 minutes to fully charge from 1% to 52% in 30 minutes. For wireless charging, this performance is quite excellent;
Of course, the official 40W wireless charger is not cheap. Whether it is necessary depends on whether you have this demand. If there is no requirement for wireless charging speed, buy a charging board compatible with Qi protocol; In addition, Ace2 also supports reverse wireless charging, which is good for emergency use occasionally.

summary
This time, Ace2 is far less competitive than the Ace generation, but rather than being less competitive, other manufacturers are too powerful. Xiaomi 10, at the same price, has better comprehensive performance than Ace2, and the lower price realme X50 Pro also has the same comprehensive performance. Ace2 may be the most attractive product with the weight of 185g. Just preparing for the deadline, The iQOO Neo3 from the Blue Factory next door has been released again, winning the cheapest Snapdragon 865 mobile phone, which is very interesting (Manual dog head) ;
In the end, the ridicule is attributed to the ridicule. Ace2 is still a good mobile phone, and it is worth buying. I believe you have a good idea. This is the end of Ace2 evaluation. If you have any related questions, please leave a message.
