Unique Design With “Ace” Identity
According to OnePlus, the Ace Edition will feature a fiber-glass back panel with a custom coating that highlights the word “Ace” in an embossed-style finish. This design approach is intended to give the phone a premium visual identity while clearly differentiating it from the standard OnePlus 15R variants.
The Electric Violet finish, in particular, is aimed at users who prefer bold and modern smartphone designs.
