OnePlus confirms the Ace 3V is powered by the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chipset

For a few weeks now, the upcoming OnePlus Ace 3V has been leaking left and right, and one thing all of the rumors about it had it common was an insistence that it would be powered by Qualcomm's yet-unannounced Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 SoC. Up until today, that was still just a rumored spec for the device, however.

But now, OnePlus itself confirmed it through its official Weibo account. The Ace 3V does indeed have the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 at the helm, and that could mean the next Nord device - Nord 4 or Nord 5, depending on whether OnePlus wants to skip the unlucky 4 - will also have this chipset that's due to become official in just a few days.

We're basing this speculation on the fact that last year, the Ace 2V with minor modifications was sold internationally as the Nord 3. We see no reason for OnePlus to change this strategy now.

Over on Weibo, OnePlus praises the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 saying it has all the same core advantages as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 - the same flagship architecture, the same 4nm process technology, the same Cortex-X4 ultra-large CPU core, memory read and write capabilities, and communication abilities. It also apparently has strong performance and low energy consumption, so what more could you want?
