What we like about Oppo Ace2 (12GB + 256GB)

  • Extremely fast 65W wired charging and 40W wireless charging speeds, which are top-tier features for its price point.
  • Excellent performance for gaming and everyday use thanks to the flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor and ample LPDDR5 RAM/UFS 3.0 storage.
  • Smooth and bright 90Hz AMOLED display provides a great visual experience.
  • Solid, premium-feeling design with nice color options (like the circular camera module).
  • Dual stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support for an immersive sound experience.
  • Good value for a phone with flagship-level specifications.
  • Retains the alert slider (on some variants, though the original Ace 2 does not have it, later OnePlus Ace 2 does) and adds an IR blaster (on later OnePlus Ace 2).

What we don't like about Oppo Ace2 (12GB + 256GB)

  • Primarily a China-only release, meaning global users must import and sideload Google services, which results in a potentially compromised user experience and some Chinese-only pop-ups.
  • The camera setup is considered subpar for its price range; specifically, the lack of Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) on the main sensor and poor quality of the telephoto zoom are common complaints.
  • Smaller 4,000mAh battery capacity compared to other phones, though fast charging helps mitigate this issue.
  • Lacks an IP certification for water resistance, which is a drawback for a flagship device.
  • Absence of a 3.5mm headphone jack and no dedicated microSD card slot for expandable storage.
  • In-screen fingerprint sensor is less reliable than physical counterparts.

Verdict

The Oppo Ace 2 (12GB + 256GB variant) is a flagship smartphone focused on speed, featuring a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor and 5G connectivity. Key characteristics include a 6.55-inch, 90Hz AMOLED display with HDR10+ support, a versatile 48MP quad-camera setup, and a 4,000mAh battery. Major pros are its incredibly fast 65W wired and world-first 40W wireless charging capabilities, which can fully charge the device in about 30 minutes and an hour, respectively. Cons include the absence of a 3.5mm headphone jack, a lack of optical image stabilization (OIS) in the main camera, no expandable storage via microSD, and, as a China-only release, the potential difficulty for international users in needing to sideload Google services for a full Western experience.
