Oppo Ace 2 launched in China with SD 865, AirVOOC wireless charging support and more

Oppo has unveiled yet another flagship smartphone, the Ace 2 in China. It is the company’s first phone to support wireless charging and is the successor to the Reno Ace. Oppo decided to go without the Reno branding and it does make things simpler.

Oppo Ace 2 supports 40W AirVOOC wireless charging solution which is just a bit behind OnePlus’ new Warp Charge 30 implementation on the OnePlus 8 Pro that’s set to launch on April 14. This also means Oppo’s wireless charging capabilities are way advanced than what’s offered by companies like Apple and Samsung. 

Let’s take a brief look at the Oppo Ace 2 specifications, pricing and availability.
