What customers don't like about OnePlus Ace 5 Ultra (16GB + 1TB)

  • The phone is a China-only version, so users outside of China may experience some Chinese UI elements, region-specific bloatware, and potential issues with Google services or warranty.
  • The camera system is considered mediocre or acceptable for the price range, but not on par with current Android flagship standards.
  • Some users report the phone can be bulky and heavy compared to other devices.
  • The device does not have a 3.5mm headphone jack or support for expandable storage via a memory card.
  • There are occasional software glitches and some users have experienced frame rate drops in games after specific software updates.
