OnePlus has confirmed that it will augment its sub-flagship Ace series of Android smartphones with a new 2V model. It will distinguish itself from the line's current flagship with a high-end MediaTek chipset rather than one from Qualcomm, and, as it turns out, with a new build too. Its OEM has scheduled it for an initial early March 2023 debut in the Chinese market: an announcement that has sparked speculation that it may be offered elsewhere under a different name later in the year.
