OnePlus Ace Racing Edition has finally made its way into the Chinese market. The smartphone is an upgraded version of the OnePlus Ace that was launched in the country recently. The design of the device looks inspired by the OnePlus 10 Pro as it has a square-shaped camera module at the back. 

On the front, the smartphone has a punch hole cut out at the top left corner for the placement of the front camera. It also has thin bezels on all sides with a slightly thicker chin. The base variant of the device with 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage is available for CNY 1,999 which converts to Rs 23,000.
