Unboxing Experience
When you open the special Ace 2 Xiangling Edition, you'll be greeted with a striking red box, reminiscent of an ancient Chinese suitcase. This design draws inspiration from the Chinese Antique Stacking Lunch Box, reflecting Xiangling's role as a chef in the game. The sides of the box showcase the fire element pattern, immersing you in the ambiance of Liyue Harbor. Opening the box reveals a familiar scene: a multi-layered paper representation of Liyue Harbor, adorned with Xiangling and her loyal companion, Guoba.
Why Xiangling, you may wonder? OnePlus chose her as the game's avatar for the Ace 2 because of the parallel they share. Xiangling, although obtainable for free in the game, possesses formidable power and is a favorite among players. Similarly, the Ace 2 offers impressive performance for its mid-range status, a reminder that it too is a force to be reckoned with.
The box holds two drawers, with the main course of the lunch box experience residing within. The first drawer contains accessories neatly placed in a 'custom manual.' The manual, featuring a prominent Guoba head, is substantial and visually appealing, with Guoba's eyes changing from different angles. Turning the pages, you'll find the table of contents and welcoming Chinese words, followed by a pop-up card displaying Xiangling and Guoba in a fighting posture. The left side features Xiangling's battle cry in Chinese, evoking a sense of nostalgia for the game. Additionally, you'll find character cards, Xiangling's meme stickers, and an adorable Guoba card pin.
Adjacent to the manual, a refine scroll poster of Xiangling catches the eye, initially resembling a new recipe created by the talented chef.
While the accessories are aesthetically pleasing, it's worth noting that they may not match the surprise factor of the Hutao edition. There is no custom phone case, the pin is not weapon-themed, and no primogems are included. Even the poster is a print from the in-game image, unlike the special poster created exclusively for Hutao by OnePlus.
The Phone
The second drawer reveals the phone itself, accompanied by the standard Ace 2 accessories, making it unnecessary to repeat them. The exclusive Genshin Impact edition boasts a red leather-like variant with stitch design on both sides, akin to the Redmi K60. However, there is no Genshin Impact element on the back panel. Apart from the distinct back color, the phone's appearance remains similar to the standard Ace 2 model.
Custom Software
Powering on the phone reveals the customized theme UI, an essential aspect of co-branded devices. Dynamic wallpapers and customized icons take center stage, highlighting the attention to detail in these collaborations. OnePlus has gone the extra mile by incorporating a burning effect for the charging animation, and the small chili pepper makes a delightful appearance as you type using the default keyboard.
Similar to the Hutao Edition, the phone features custom ringtones recorded by Xiangling's Chinese voice actor from the game.
Performance-wise, the phone is equipped with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, which handles tasks with ease, including demanding scenarios like Spiral Abyss. It maintains a stable 60fps and keeps temperatures at an acceptable level. However, for optimal Genshin Impact performance, we recommend considering Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 phones.

In conclusion, the OnePlus Ace 2 Xiangling Edition is a delightful treat for gamers, combining the allure of Genshin Impact with the technological prowess of OnePlus. While it may not surpass the surprise factor of its predecessor, it is still a worthy addition to any gaming enthusiast's collection. So, let's dive into this immersive experience and see if the Ace 2 Xiangling Edition can capture the hearts of gamers once again.
