Ahead of the phone's launch on June 27, OnePlus has released some new details about the battery technology that's called Glacier Battery.

The previously leaked OnePlus Ace 3 Pro is expected to debut a new type of battery with OnePlus' Glacier Battery technology. OnePlus in a series of posts on Chinese microblogging website Weibo, has now given out a few details regarding what the new battery has to offer.
