As the New Year approaches, many mobile phone bigwigs have considered buying a favorite mobile phone before the New Year, but they are caught in the entanglement between the two mobile phones in the face of many choices. Because in terms of core configuration, their parameters on paper are exactly the same: they are all equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, LPDDR5X + UFS40 storage combination, and the same triple camera scheme (wide-angle main camera + ultra-wide-angle + macro). Even in pixel data, there is no difference, even the 16+512GB version** is the same, all of them are 2999 yuan. So, which of the two phones is the better one? Let's work together.
Although both phones have a centered cut-out screen design on the front, there are still some differences in details. The screen of the OnePlus Ace 3 is 678-inch curved screen, while the Redmi K70 is 667-inch straight screen. Although the former is a curved screen, the curvature is not exaggerated, and it only provides an improvement in feel and appearance, so you don't need to worry about the problem of accidental touch; The straight screen of the latter appears to have slightly wider black edges, but it is convenient to use the film.
Taken together, the Redmi K70's chin and sides are slightly wider than the OnePlus Ace 3, but the difference in width isn't noticeable when looking at the Redmi K70 alone. As for appearance, each has its own preferences.
Redmi K70 is claimed to have velvet texture glass on the back, presenting a matte back panel with marble lines; The OnePlus Ace 3, on the other hand, uses a hardened blue glass process to present a solid glossy glass backplate. The feel of the Redmi K70 is a little surprising: is this really a glass back panel? Why does it feel a bit like plastic? Although the OnePlus Ace 3 feels good, the shiny surface is easy to get fingerprints, and you need to wipe it regularly if you don't use a protective case.
In terms of camera modules, the OnePlus Ace 3 adopts a high-end watch-style "sunray scale ring" design, while the Redmi K70 uses a "custom 1The 3mm unbounded high permeability DECO is actually a rectangular glass that "no design is the best design".
Both phones are equipped with a metal middle frame, and the Redmi K70 middle frame is designed at a right angle, focusing on visual effects; The OnePlus Ace 3 uses a rounded middle frame, focusing on the feel. That being said, the OnePlus Ace 3's middle frame is very well polished, and the color is consistent with the back panel and DECO, and the overall look is good; And the middle frame of the Redmi K70 is the same as the back panel, if you don't tell you what the material is, you may think it's plastic.
It is worth mentioning that OnePlus Ace 3 retains the family's traditional three-stage mute button, which allows users to easily switch between three modes: mute, vibrate, and ring, eliminating the tedious steps of unlocking the phone, dropping down menus, finding icons, and clicking to switch, and can be completed by simply flicking the buttons.
In terms of thickness and weight, the OnePlus Ace 3 has a thickness of 821mm and a weight of 210g; And the Redmi K70 is slightly thicker, reaching 88mm, but the weight is lighter, at 2097g。However, when actually handheld, 0The weight difference of 3G does not bring a noticeable feeling, and it depends more on the feel of the middle frame.
In terms of hardware parameters, the two phones have their own emphasis. OnePlus Ace 3 uses the same BOE X1 luminous material as OnePlus 12, with a resolution of 15K, with 8T LTPO screen technology, manual maximum brightness of 800nit, global excitation brightness of 1600nit, peak brightness of 4500nit. It adopts 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming at low brightness and DC-like dimming at high brightness, supports Bright Eye Care technology, obtains DisplayMate A+ certification, and has Rheinland Eye Care 30 certification and National Ophthalmic Diagnosis and Engineering Technology Research Center certification.
And Redmi K70 uses the same Huaxing Optoelectronics C8 luminous material of the Xiaomi 14 series, with a resolution of 2K, using LTPS screen technology, with a manual brightness of up to 700nit (500nit in normal mode, 700nit in sunlight mode), global excitation brightness of 1200nit, and peak brightness of 4000nit. 1920Hz high-frequency PWM dimming is used for low brightness, and DC-like dimming is used for high brightness, and it has Rheinland eye protection certification.
In short, on paper, the OnePlus Ace 3 outperforms the Redmi K70 in all other data, except for resolution. Both.
It supports a 120Hz variable refresh rate, but the Redmi K70 uses LTPS, while the OnePlus Ace 3 uses LTPO. As for which is better, anyway, Lei always said that LTPO is more expensive and more power-efficient, and it is a symbol of the top screen.
The OnePlus Ace 3 is not only the only model in the mid-range that supports LTPO, but also carries the same 8T LTPO circuit technology as the top-of-the-line flagship, supporting 1-120Hz stepless inverter.
After setting the screen of the Redmi K70 to 2K, the display effect is very delicate; The OnePlus Ace 3 can only be set up to 15K, but when compared side-by-side with the Redmi K70, the difference in sharpness is not noticeable. If you have to be picky, the OnePlus Ace 3 may be slightly inferior to the Redmi K70's 2K in terms of clarity.
The default color modes of both are relatively muted, with OnePlus Ace 3 being more transparent overall, and white being closer to personal perception of white. The white color of the Redmi K70 is slightly grayish-green compared to the OnePlus Ace 3. In addition, both offer a variety of color mode options, and users can also make custom corrections through the RGB color palette.
In the default color mode, the Redmi K70's screen color cast is still present when the background is dominated by non-white, while the OnePlus Ace 3 is closer to the original** color. However, the color cast problem was alleviated when the Redmi K70's colors were adjusted to vivid mode.
The Redmi K70 has a straight screen, so there is no need to worry about the green edge; Although OnePlus Ace 3 uses a curved screen, due to its small curvature, there is basically no green edge even on a white background. Even from a very side angle, there is only a slight optical shadow and no noticeable green hue.
In auto-brightness, the Redmi K70 has a higher dimming than the OnePlus Ace 3 in the same scene. In well-lit conditions, this isn't a problem, but in low-light conditions, the Redmi K70 can appear a bit harsh and requires occasional manual brightness adjustments.
In manual brightness, the OnePlus Ace 3's screen brightness is significantly higher than that of the Redmi K70 in the same scene. When used in sunlight, this difference in brightness results in a clearer display on the screen.
Overall, if you're not doing a comparative review, but considering a phone on its own, I think both phones perform quite well in the 2K-4K price range.
If users are looking for 2K resolution, Redmi K70 is definitely a good choice; And if you are looking for color accuracy, brightness, LTPO technology, and eye protection and other details, then OnePlus Ace 3 is more recommended.
The core hardware configuration of both phones is almost identical, and both use the same configuration from last year's top-of-the-line flagship models: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8Gen 2+ processor, LPDDR5X memory, and UFS40 flash. This combination has been proven in the market for a year and has been widely recognized for its stability and performance.
However, due to the tuning ideas and hardware optimization of different vendors, there may be some subtle differences in the actual user experience.
