OnePlus is revamping its product lineup by offering mid-range and budget smartphones. Pete Lau, the co-founder and CEO of the brand revealed it first in May. Then, in July, the company launched OnePlus Nord as its first mid-range smartphone in years. Followed by that, leaks started pouring out information about OnePlus’s other budget handsets. Now, today, codenames of some of these handsets emerge.

Just yesterday, we had our first look at OnePlus 8T with a flat display and slimmer bezels. Now, today, codenames of four OnePlus smartphones leak on Twitter, courtesy of tech influencer Mukul Sharma (@stufflistings).

He shared a picture of a code snippet, which revealed the following codenames associated with what seems to be their marketing name.

• billie2 – OnePlus Billie 2
• billie2t – OnePlus Billie 2T
• billie8 – OnePlus Billie 8
• billie8t – OnePlus Billie 8T

This is not the first time we are hearing about the codename “billie”. These devices leaked in a rendered video earlier in August. Max J, the person behind that leak did confirm that there will be multiple phones. The above-listed devices could be the ones he mentioned.

Also, according to him, they are also known as “Aurora” and they can launch under the “Nord” branding. Hence, it is not sure if these handsets will be indeed called OnePlus Billie.

One of these devices could come powered by either Snapdragon 662 or Snapdragon 665. Whereas, another model from the list above could be a mid-range 5G smartphone powered by Snapdragon 690 like the Oneplus Nord but with a more affordable price tag.

Additionally, OnePlus will be also launching a phone codenamed “clover”, which could be the brand’s cheapest smartphone with feature like Snapdragon 460, 720p display, 6,000mAh battery, 4GB + 64GB storage configuration, microSD card slot, fingerprint sensor, 3.5mm headphone jack, 13MP + 2MP dual-camera setup,  18W fast charging, and around $200 price tag.

That said, most of the upcoming OnePlus budget and mid-range smartphones will probably debut first in India as hinted by the CEO back in May.

OnePlus may be launching more mid-range phones very soon as a new leak has revealed details about two OnePlus phones in development. The source of the leak is Max J. (@MaxJmb) and he has collaborated with the popular 3D artist, Concept Creator for a 3D video render.

Max revealed in a tweet that the device is codenamed “Billie”, however, they have decided to call it Aurora though they should launch with the Nord name. The design is also based on their imagination but could be very close to the final products. Yes, apparently there are two phones – Billie 1 and Billie 2 – which means we should get a standard and a Pro/lite version.

It's a leak… sort of.
Let me introduce Codename "Billie" or as we call it: Aurora.

The devices are based on our imagination but I believe they could be very close to the actual phones.

Yeah, "phones" – pluralhttps://t.co/Aa7GNBfOh9 pic.twitter.com/X7o4y5LGvc

The video shows the two OnePlus phones have a punch hole at the top left corner of the screen. Until more details surface, we can’t say if they are AMOLED panels and if they have a high-refresh-rate.

OnePlus said last year that its future phones will have a high refresh rate and so far, it has kept that promise. However, since it is now making affordable (mid-range) smartphones, we won’t be surprised if some of the models skip on the feature.

One of the phones is shown packing triple rear cameras arranged vertically. The camera housing is on the left side of the phone and beside it sits the LED flash. The second phone which should be the base model has dual cameras and shares the camera housing with the LED flash. OnePlus will also keep the alert slider on the two phones.

There is a lot we do not know about the two devices yet and we already have several questions. However, we believe the two phones will share the same processor, most likely the Snapdragon 690 5G, but differ in other areas.
