Why does this story matter?
OnePlus Ace Racing Edition is the latest entrant in the Ace series after the original OnePlus Ace that had debuted last month. Being a watered-down version, it misses out on the bells and whistles available on the more premium Ace model.

The device comes with 67W fast-charging support
