It is now confirmed that OnePlus will be launching the new OnePlus Nord 3 on July 5 across the globe. Said to be a rebrand of the OnePlus Ace 2V from China, the device will feature a similar design and mostly similar specs. However, there is one major upgrade coming for the global market in the camera department.
Tipster Ishan Agarwal has leaked promo material of the OnePlus Nord 3, revealing that it will feature a 50MP Sony IMX890 sensor for the primary camera with OIS. For those unaware, this is a flagship-level camera sensor that the brand has already used in devices like the OnePlus 11 and the OnePlus 11R. The promo material also reveals that the device will have up to 16GB RAM and will also support the RAM-Vita (virtual RAM) feature.
The addition of this sensor will undoubtedly enhance the camera capabilities of the device. However, it is important to acknowledge that the overall camera performance relies heavily on the image signal processing capabilities of the system-on-a-chip (SoC). While the 11 and 11R smartphones are equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and 8 Plus Gen 1 chipsets, respectively, the Nord 3 will showcase the Dimensity 9000 chipset developed by MediaTek. It will be intriguing to observe how effectively this chip can harness the potential of the Sony IMX890 sensor, considering the different hardware and software components involved.

Rumors suggest that the OnePlus Nord 3 will come equipped with a sizable 6.74-inch display. This display is said to offer a 1.5K resolution and a buttery-smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Powering the device, we can expect a robust Dimensity 9000 processor, paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
Moving on to the battery, the Nord 3 is rumored to house a generous 5,000mAh battery, supporting fast charging capabilities at an impressive 80W. In terms of the camera setup, leaks suggest a triple rear camera system, which will likely consist of a 50MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 2MP macro unit. Selfie enthusiasts can anticipate a 16MP front-facing camera.
