As seen in the images above, this is what the OnePlus Ace Racing Edition will look like. The device will launch in Grey and Blue colour options and will be announced on May 17th in China. It remains to be seen as to when the brand will make the OnePlus Ace Racing Edition available in the remaining parts of the world. That said, we should expect the OnePlus Ace Racing Edition to carry a different moniker if and when it launches outside of China.

As for the design, the OnePlus Ace Racing Edition will retain a 3.5mm headphone jack, but will ditch the brand’s vintage alert slider. The device will make room for a left-aligned punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera. The power button, which will double as a fingerprint scanner, will be located on the right side of the device, while the volume up and down buttons will be on the right side.
