The new Oppo Reno Ace goes above and beyond the Oppo Reno launched earlier in the year by jamming in some quite impressive specifications into a device that retails around USD $420.
According to various sources, three DRAM/storage configurations will be available: 8/128, 8/256, and 12/256, with that $420 price point likely being for the 8/128 version. The phone will come in ‘ Starry Blue’ or ‘Psychedelic Purple’ colors, and a special Gundam limited edition (30k units) will be available from November 11th at a slightly higher price (3599 RMB).

ANd its surprising awesome that the phone takes only 30 minutes to fully charge the device from the dead state.
The device also supports USB-PD and Qualcomm’s Quick Charge standards, so you are not entirely at the mercy of proprietary fast charging technology.
