Alongside Electric Violet, the smartphone will also be available in Charcoal Black and Mint Green, giving buyers multiple aesthetic options at launch.
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.
