OnePlus has confirmed that its next mid-range device will launch as the OnePlus Nord CE. The device has been described as a cheaper version of last year’s OnePlus Nord with a focus on the core features of the phone. Ahead of the launch, the full specifications of the device have been leaked.
The specifications were posted by Yogesh (@heyitsyogesh) in collaboration with MySmartPrice, and from the details, OnePlus has truly trimmed down the original Nord. For example, there are now fewer cameras.
The Nord CE will have a 6.43-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with an in-display fingerprint scanner. It will have a notch at the top left corner but it will house a single camera – a 16MP sensor. Gone is the Snapdragon 765G processor of the Nord, and in its place is a Snapdragon 750G. The source says that users will be able to pick up the phone in two configurations – 6GB RAM + 64GB and 8GB RAM + 128GB. However, it appears there will also be a 12GB RAM version as seen on Geekbench by Nashvillechatterclass. The storage type is said to be UFS 2.1.
For the rear cameras, there are now three. A 64MP main sensor from OmniVision, an 8MP ultrawide angle camera, and a 2MP depth sensor. One area where the Nord CE improves upon is its battery capacity. It packs a 4500mAh battery, a bump from the 4150mAh inside the Nord. The device will support a new fast-charging technology called Warp Charge 30T Plus which will refill the battery from empty to 70% in 30 minutes.
Other features are a plastic build with an overall thickness of 7.9mm, a mono speaker, an audio jack, and Android 11 pre-installed. It has also been revealed that the phone will not have an alert slider, a feature the OnePlus Nord has but which was not included in the cheaper Nord models.
The OnePlus Nord CE is expected to be priced at around ₹25,000 for the 8GB RAM version. It will be available for pre-order on June 11 along with free gifts worth ₹2,699
