OnePlus 11 India variant is receiving the update, and the other regions will get it in some time. Meanwhile, the OnePlus Nord N100 European and North American variants are receiving the OxygenOS 11.0.15. The changelog for both smartphones appears familiar:

The “Never Settle” company is sticking to its plan for OxygenOS 14 while bringing regular updates to smartphones and tablets. OnePlus 11 is all set to receive the stable OxygenOS 14 update in the coming few days, it has already received the Open Beta 3 build. Unfortunately, the latest Android 14-based update won’t reach the OnePlus Nord N100 as per its update cycle.

The new update is already out and may take some time to reach each unit as it is rolling out in a staggered manner. Head over to Settings > About Phone > Software Update and Install to manually check for the update.

OxygenOS 14 Update Program

Following the global launch on September 25, the OxygenOS 14 is approaching the stable build with plenty of new improvements and features to enhance the system’s performance, efficiency, and stability. It is debuting “Tinity Engine” which aims to unlock the full potential of the present hardware on a device. It bundles three different technologies – CPU Vitalization, ROM Vitalization, and RAM Vitalization to improve performance and efficiency across respective aspects.

The Open Beta update is already out for OnePlus 11, OnePlus 10 Pro, OnePlus Nord 3, OnePlus 11R, OnePlus 10T and others. The company has already posted information about the Open Beta update plan via the Open Beta timeline.

The post OnePlus Nord N100 and OnePlus 11 Receiving a New Update with October 2023 Security Patch appeared first on Gizmochina.

Back in October 2020, OnePlus launched the N100 smartphone in Europe, which later arrived in North America. In a few months, the device will be three years old, however, OnePlus is still solid on the software support with regular updates.

Starting from June 13th, 2023, OnePlus has commenced the rollout of the OxygenOS 11.0.13 update for the OnePlus N100 smartphone across North America and various European countries. The update will be progressively distributed to users over the next few days, ensuring all OnePlus N100 users receive it.

In North America, the firmware version for the update is designated as 11.0.13.BE81AA, while in European countries, it will be identified as 11.0.13.BE83BA. The update incorporates the Android security patch for June 2023, enhancing the device’s security and stability.

Unlike the other two handsets, this update for OnePlus Nord N10 5G also brings improvements for network performance.

Original Story

OnePlus is rolling out a new system update for its 2018 flagship smartphone and its most affordable 2020 budget smartphone. These devices are none other than the OnePlus 6/6T and the OnePlus Nord N100. For the former, the latest update arrives as OxygenOS 10.3.11. Whereas, for the latter, the update is called OxygenOS 10.5.8 (NA) / 10.5.10 (EU).

The latest system update for OnePlus 6, OnePlus 6T, and OnePlus Nord N100 do not bring any new features. Instead, the only update comes with May 2021 security patches, fixes for some known issues, and improvements for system stability.

Anyway, at least these devices are receiving security patches. Hopefully, the new builds don’t introduce new bugs and issues. As far as the availability of this update is concerned, it is being rolled out in batches. Hence, it may take some time to reach every unit.

As far as Android 11 is concerned, OnePlus has confirmed to release OxygenOS 11 Open Beta for the OnePlus 6 and the OnePlus 6T in August. However, interested users can already experience last year’s Android version by installing LineageOS 18.1.

On the other hand, OnePlus is yet to officially reveal the availability of the Android 11 update for the OnePlus Nord N100. But what we know is that it will be the only major software update for this handset.

OnePlus 6, 6T, Nord N100 OxygenOS 10.3.11 / 10.5.8 / 10.5.10 Official Changelog

• System
  • Updated Android security patch to 2021.05
  • Fixed known issues and improved system stability

The post [Update: Nord N10 5G] OnePlus 6, 6T, Nord N100 receive May 2021 security update appeared first on Gizmochina.

Last year, OnePlus launched the OnePlus Nord N100 and the OnePlus Nord N10 5G as its first budget smartphones. These two handsets are only sold in select few markets. Now, months after their release, the duo could make their debut in India.

According to an automated OnePlus update tracker Telegram channel (via MySmartPrice), the company has released India-specific OxygenOS builds for the OnePlus Nord N100 and the OnePlus Nord N10 5G. 

There were only two regional software builds for these two smartphones prior to this. But now, with the addition of India, the number of builds has been incremented to three for both of them

• OnePlus Nord N100

  • NA (North America)
  • EU (Europe)
  • IN (India)

• OnePlus Nord N10 5G

  • GLO (Global)
  • EU (Europe)
  • IN (India)

However, we cannot tell for sure if the brand is planning to launch these handsets in India. Also, it will be weird if OnePlus debuts these devices in the country since they are already six months old.

Anyway, we don’t think that these phones will make their way to India because the budget smartphone competition in the country is intense. The OnePlus Nord N100 and the OnePlus Nord N10 5G pale in comparison with devices from Xiaomi and OnePlus’ sister brand realme.

But we cannot rule out the possibility as there are OxygenOS builds for India. However, we can expect the OnePlus Ebba (OnePlus Nord N10 5G successor) to launch in the region as it has been certified by BIS.

• EU – OxygenOS 10.5.9 – 10.5.9.BE83BA​

The changelog doesn’t detail the improvements/changes that are coming to the device. Rather, it says that the device will get the March 2021 security patch.

In the last update, OnePlus said that it had improved the standby power consumption in certain scenarios in addition to fixing the Known issues. However, the latest update shows that the company has once again fixed known issues in addition to improving the system stability.

Unlike the company’s other models, the duo is only available in select countries in Europe, US, and others. Although they are only eligible for a single Android update, the firm has been delivering regular maintenance updates for these devices. Hence, they are currently receiving a new security patch update.

Last month, the OnePlus Nord N10 5G became the first OnePlus handset to get the January 2021 security patch update. Now again, it has become the first device from the company to get the February 2021 security patch update.

The post OnePlus Nord N10 5G gets February 2021 security update, while OnePlus Nord N100 is receiving January 2021 security update appeared first on Gizmochina.

Last year, the OnePlus 8  became the brand’s first smartphone to get certified for the Android Enterprise Recommended Program. This handset was soon followed by the expensive OnePlus 8 Pro and mid-range OnePlus Nord to join the initiative. Now, months later, OnePlus’ most affordable handsets ever are also part of this program.

After the OnePlus 8T launch, Chinese phone maker OnePlus announced its first-ever budget smartphones in the form of OnePlus Nord N100 and OnePlus Nord N10 5G respectively. As their name suggests, the former is limited to 4G but the latter comes with 5G connectivity.

Being budget devices, they don’t pack heavy specs to boast about. In fact, these smartphones pale in comparison with handsets from other Chinese OEMs. Worst of all, OnePlus has only promised a single Android update and two years of security patches.

For those unaware, the duo debuted with OxygenOS 10.5 based on Android 10 when Android 11 was already official. Hence, they will be only receiving a single major update to Android 11-based OxygenOS 11 sometime later this year after the OnePlus 7 series, OnePlus 7T series, and OnePlus Nord.

Despite all of these shortcomings, the OnePlus Nord N100 and OnePlus Nord N10 5G have been certified for the Android Enterprise Recommended (AER) program. Unlike the consumer models, the devices part of this initiative will be receiving security patches up until January 2023, which happens to be a few more months than the regular variant of these phones.

Anyway, both the consumer and enterprise versions will be getting a single major system update to OxygenOS 11 based on Android 11.

OnePlus Nord N100 is the brand’s cheapest smartphone of all time (as of now). This handset along with other devices released by the company in 2020 has been receiving multiple system updates since its release. This phone, in particular, is now getting its fifth OxygenOS build, and it’s only over a month old.

The latest system update for OnePlus Nord N100 comes with build number OxygenOS 10.5.4 for the NA region and OxygenOS 10.5.5 for the EU region. Though the build numbers are different, they come with the common changelog.

Just like the previous updates, the new one also brings optimizations, fixes, and improvements, in addition to December 2020 security patch.

First of all, the new update optimizes system power consumption and Bluetooth device compatibility (NA only). It also fixes the phone not waking up under certain circumstances bug (NA only) and call noise issue.

Further, the latest update improves the camera’s shooting experience as well as the stability of communication functions. Last but not least, apart from adding a quick setting switch to adjust mute, ringtone, and vibration, it also brings an updated GMS (Google Mobile Services) package – September 2020 for the NA variant of the smartphone.

Lower-midrange smartphones are actually a great segment for those who want to save a lot of money while still getting great performance with daily use. You can actually get very interesting devices for less than €200. The latest one launched in Europe is the Realme 7i bringing all the power of a midrange MediaTek chipset to the low-end segment. But is it the most powerful and versatile handset under €200? There is no better way to understand it than comparing it with the most recent lower-midrange phones from other brands. The most suitable devices for this specs comparison are the OnePlus Nord N100: the first low-end phone released by OnePlus, and the Samsung Galaxy A21s.

Realme 7i vs OnePlus Nord N100 vs Samsung Galaxy A21s

Design

Realme 7i, OnePlus Nord N100 and Samsung Galaxy A21s sport a very similar design. All come with a punch-hole display, a rectangle-shaped camera module, a plastic unibody design, and a rear-mounted fingerprint reader. There are only marginal differences and what really changes are the color variants. Given that it is thinner and lighter, my favorite one is the OnePlus Nord N100. But the Samsung Galaxy A21s is slightly more compact, so it is a great option too. The Realme 7i has more interesting color variants thanks to its reflective back, and its display is protected by Gorilla Glass 3.

Display

If you expect a great display, you should not go for any of these phones. In each case, you get a below-average LCD panel with an HD+ resolution (720p). We are not saying these panels are bad, but you can find a lot of better displays in the market. Samsung Galaxy A21s is the most disappointing as the OnePlus Nord N100 and Realme 7i come with a 90 Hz refresh rate, while the Galaxy A21s has just 60 Hz. The display of the OnePlus Nord N100 is slightly wider compared to the Realme 7i.

Hardware/Software

The best chipset is the one found on the Samsung Galaxy A21s. It is very powerful for a so affordable phone, and it is very efficient because it is built with an 8 nm production process. The Realme 7i offers great performance as well thanks to its Helio G85 and, in its most expensive configuration, it offers a higher amount of RAM compared to the Samsung Galaxy A21s (8 GB vs 6 GB). Further, the Realme 7i has UFS 2.1 internal storage, while Samsung Galaxy A21s is based on eMMC storage. My choice would actually be the Realme 7i despite the SoC of the Samsung Galaxy A21s is more efficient. All of these devices run Android 10, but we know OnePlus Nord N100 will only get one year of major updates.

Camera

The Realme 7i’s camera department varies depending on the market: in Asia, you get an amazing 64 MP rear camera, while in Europe, it has a 48 MP main camera. In both cases, we are talking about the best rear camera department of this trio. Even the front camera is actually better. The second place goes to the Samsung Galaxy A21s packing a 48 MP quad-camera and a 13 MP selfie camera, while OnePlus Nord N100 is disappointing with its 13 MP rear camera.

Battery

Realme 7i is the battery champion as it packs a bigger 6000 mAh battery. Samsung Galaxy A21s and OnePlus Nord N100 remain amazing battery phones, but they have just 5000 mAh.

Price

OnePlus Nord N100 is priced at €200/$245, Realme 7i costs €170/$208, and Samsung Galaxy A21s is priced less than €200. The winner of the comparison is the Realme 7i due to its great hardware department, very nice cameras, and a bigger battery.

The OnePlus Nord N100 is the cheapest OnePlus smartphone ever. This handset was announced for Europe and the US after the OnePlus 8T launch in late October. However, it is yet to go on sale in the latter region. Ahead of it, the phone is receiving its fourth system update.

The latest update for the OnePlus Nord N100 comes with build number OxygenOS 10.5.4. Just like the previous update that was rolled out in the fourth week of November, this one too brings a couple of fixes.

These fixes are for the phone not waking up under certain circumstances and certain known issues. The new update is also said to improve system stability.

OnePlus Nord N100 OxygenOS 10.5.4 Official Changelog

• System
• • Fixed an issue where the phone may not wake up under certain circumstances
  • Fixed known issues and improved system stability

For those unaware, Oneplus smartphones that launched in the second half of 2020 have been receiving multiple updates since their launch worldwide. All of these updates are related to fixes.

Hence, it suggests that the brand has been facing difficulties in providing stable software builds with the increase of its product portfolio. We hope OnePlus finds a solution to this problem soon. Because the company is expected to introduce more categories in the coming months.

The post OxygenOS 10.5.4 for OnePlus Nord N100 brings more fixes appeared first on Gizmochina.

OnePlus announced the OnePlus Nord N100 alongside the OnePlus Nord N10 5G on October 26. The handset went on sale starting November 10 in Europe. It has been less than two weeks since the smartphone was released but the device is already receiving its third system update in the form of OxygenOS 10.5.3.

OnePlus rolled out the first-ever system update (OxygenOS 10.5.1) for the OnePlus Nord N100 before its release on November 3. Then, a couple of days after the phone went on sale, the brand confirmed that this device as well as the OnePlus Nord N10 5G will be only receiving a single major Android update.

Followed by that, on November 12, just two days after the company started selling the handset, it started receiving its second system update (OxygenOS 10.5.2). Now, a little over a week later, it is getting its third update in the form of OxygenOS 10.5.3. OnePlus began to seed the latest build on Saturday (November 21).

Just like the first two updates, the new one also brings fixes, improvements, and optimizations for various things.

OnePlus Nord N100 OxygenOS 10.5.3 Official Changelog

• System
• • • Optimized system standby stability
    • Optimized the compatibility of third-party apps
    • Fixed known issues and improved system stability

• Network
• • Improved connection stability of the mobile network
  • Newly added support for more operator networks

On the other hand, the OnePlus Nord N10 5G has got only one update so far. However, the costlier Oneplus 8T, which debuted a few days ahead of this duo has been also receiving numerous system updates since its announcement just like the OnePlus Nord before it.

This somewhat explains that OnePlus has been lately shipping new devices without testing the software properly as all these builds have been targeted at fixing, optimizing, or improving one thing or another.

The post OnePlus Nord N100 is receiving its third system update within a month appeared first on Gizmochina.

The OnePlus Nord N100 and OnePlus Nord N10 5G are the brand’s most affordable new smartphones. Unlike the company’s other devices, these two are limited to certain regions like Europe and the US where it is yet to debut. Surprisingly, the latter handset even made its way to Singapore a few hours ago. Before that, the kernel source code for both these phones went live.

OnePlus smartphones are popular among developers and custom ROM users. The company is known for releasing kernel sources on time. Hence, the brand has published the code of its latest budget smartphones on time.

With the help of this, developers can start working on custom recoveries like TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project), followed by custom ROMs, custom kernels, and mods. The new Nord duo could become popular in this niche community, thanks to their affordable price tags. 

However, we don’t think they will be as famous as certain Xiaomi smartphones that are sold worldwide. The popularity of Nord N100 and Nord N10 5G may boost if the brand extends their availability.

Nevertheless, we can expect the development to be steady as these two phones will be only receiving a single major update to OxygenOS 11 based on Android 11.  With regular custom ROM releases, customers of these handsets can continue using the phone for years rocking the latest Android version and security patch.

The OnePlus Nord N100 is the cheapest OnePlus smartphone in the history of the Chinese manufacturer. The phone which is priced at €179 in Europe and £179 in the UK, has a punch-hole 60Hz HD+ display among its features, or so we thought.

OnePlus got called out for the low refresh rate since it said last year that all its future phones will have a fluid display a.k.a. high refresh rate. Turns out that is not the case and the Nord N100 does have a high refresh rate display.

According to Android Authority, the OnePlus Nord N100 they purchased for review has a 90Hz refresh rate. They then contacted OnePlus who retracted its earlier info about it having a 60Hz refresh rate and confirmed that the phone indeed has a 90Hz refresh rate. The official spec sheet also states it has a 90Hz refresh rate. So why did we get different info at launch?

The N100 is equipped with a 90Hz display. Actual refresh rate depends on settings, applications used, and processing limitations – OnePlus

Why OnePlus did not say why it didn’t market the phone’s high refresh rate, Android Authority has come up with a theory that says it is because it is not a “Fluid Display”.

OnePlus prides itself on the quality of its phones’ displays and the smooth experience users will get when they use them. However, the Nord N100 is a budget smartphone, actually a rebadged OPPO A53, and its entry-level specs will not provide a Fluid Display experience.

So rather than market the feature (90Hz refresh rate) and get dragged in the mud for the performance and drop in display quality, they decided to go with a 60Hz refresh rate. This is just a theory and not OnePlus’s official statement.

Nevertheless, the OnePlus Nord N100 has a high refresh rate and users will be able to switch between a 60Hz refresh rate and a 90Hz refresh rate. We don’t know if the high refresh rate will convince users to purchase the phone but it is worth knowing.

The Nord N100 is already available for purchase in Europe. It has a 6.52-inch LCD display, a Snapdragon 460 processor, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of expandable storage, triple rear cameras, stereo speakers, an audio jack, and a 5000mAh battery with support for 18W fast charging.

OnePlus has today officially taken the wraps off the much-anticipated budget smartphones. The two smartphones dubbed OnePlus Nord N10 and Nord N100 are the brand’s cheapest models yet, cheaper than the Nord which was released recently. The duo comes with several features but the most outstanding should be the return of the 3.5mm audio jack and the fact that they emerge as the first OnePlus models with a microSD card slot.

The OnePlus Nord N10 is ranked beneath the OnePlus Nord when you talk about the specifications. On the other hand, the Nord N100 goes even further down the ladder, emerging as the lowest specs and price OnePlus has ever adopted.

OnePlus Nord N10 & Nord N100 Pricing & Availability

OnePlus has indicated that the new Nord smartphones will be launched for sale in Europe and the UK first. The phones will then be launched in North America as well.

As for the price, the OnePlus Nord N10 will start at £329/€329 (~$429) while the N100 comes with a more pocket-friendly price tag of £179/€179 (~$233).OnePlus is yet to reveal more details about the release dates.

OnePlus Nord N100 specs

OnePlus Nord N100 is the budget model of the two. It packs a decent specs lineup which includes a 6.52-inch display with HD+ resolution and 60Hz refresh rate. The device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 460 chipset paired with 4GB of RAM. The phone comes in a sole 64GB storage option but there is a MicroSD slot for expanding the storage.

As for the camera setup, the Nord N100 features a triple camera setup made up of a 13MP main camera as well as a 2MP Bokeh lens and a 2MP macro sensor. There is a 13MP front camera for selfies onboard.

The Nord N100 packs a generous 5000mAh battery and features support for 18W wired fast charging. It runs on OxygenOS based on Android 10, the first time OnePlus’ custom ROM is available on a budget phone. It comes in Midnight Frost colour option and 4G support only.

On the other hand, the Nord N10 features a 6.49-inch screen with FullHD+ resolution and a better 90Hz refresh rate. It is fired up by a Snapdragon 690 processor paired with 6GB of RAM. The phone comes with 128GB of storage which can be expanded up to 512GB via microSD card. The N10 packs a 4300mAh battery and has support for Warp Charge 30T wired charging.

OnePlus is expected to launch its cheapest smartphones ever in a few hours from now. The specifications of these devices have leaked multiple times in the past few days. Now, ahead of their launch, we finally get to see how these phones will look.

Mukul Sharma, a popular tech influencer in India shared the design sketches of the upcoming Oneplus Nord N10 and OnePlus Nord N100 on Twitter. As expected, the designs of these smartphones confirm them to be rebranded OPPO handsets.

Anyway, it is worth noting that the OnePlus Nord N10 with 5G connectivity, thanks to Qualcomm Snapdragon 690 is yet to launch as an OPPO device but we believe it will happen in the coming days.

Now, talking about the designs, there are subtle changes between the OPPO A53 and OnePlus Nord N100. Although the camera module is the same on both the handsets, the one on the OnePlus is more curved making it oval in shape and the LED flash is circular in shape instead of rounded rectangle (oblong).

There, there’s an OnePlus branding at the bottom of the rear panel and an OnePlus logo below the capacitive fingerprint sensor. The OnePlus Nord N10 5G also has a similar design but the camera module is not as curved as on the N100 and has an additional camera.

Interestingly, both of them lack an alert slider, making them the first OnePlus smartphones to launch without one of the company’s signature features. However, they come with modern punch-hole displays like the expensive models.

As far as their specifications are concerned, make sure to read our previous detailed coverage on the same.

OnePlus Nord N100 specifications (Rumored)

It was revealed last week that the OnePlus Nord N100 has an LCD screen of 6.52 inches that offers HD+ resolution. The Snapdragon 460v mobile platform is present under the hood of the phone. It has 4 GB of RAM and internal storage of 64 GB.

At the front, the OnePlus Nord N100 has a selfie camera of 8-megapixel.

OnePlus Nord N10 5G and N100 are quietly making their way up the radar of leaks despite a silence from the company’s side. The company’s official Instagram handle hasn’t really broken anything apart from a #comingsoon poster. However, Steve from Onleaks is on a mission to bring them to the limelight. His new tip reveals details including the display and battery of the devices.

Nord N10 5G Specifications(Expected)

Jumping right in, according to Steve, OnePlus Nord N10 5G will have a 6.49-inch FHD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate. Now, he hasn’t revealed if it’s an AMOLED or LCD here. Moving on, he says the device will come in 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. Apart from the known specs, it is said to have a 4,300mAh battery that probably charges via the USB-C port.

However, the most highlight of all is the inclusion of a headphone jack. Now, we aren’t really sure about this one but if it’s true, OnePlus better explains this well as to why they had to bring it back considering it recently launched the budget OnePlus Buds Z.

The device will reportedly feature Qualcomm Snapdragon 690 5G SoC, and boast a 64MP main lens which we already know. Alongside the main lens, an 8MP ultra-wide, two 2MP sensors will reportedly complete the rear squircle layout that leaked earlier.

Nord N100 Specifications(Expected)

Talking about the N100, Steve says the device will be a 4G-only and not 5G. According to him, it will feature a 6.52-inch HD+ LCD display(yes! you heard it right). This is surprising considering we haven’t seen an LCD display smartphone from OnePlus since the OnePlus 3. Further, the device will reportedly sport Qualcomm Snapdragon 460 SoC paired with 4GB RAM and a 64GB storage variant. All these falls in line with the Geekbench score that leaked a device with codename “clover“.

As for the optics, the rear camera will reportedly feature 13MP Primary, and two 2MP macro, and bokeh lenses. Upfront, an 8MP sensor is likely to take the selfies. Steve says the Nord N100 will feature a 5,000mAh battery which is negated by the earlier leaks that said 6,000mAh. Anyway, it will also have USB-C, and headphone jack ports.

While we wonder why OnePlus hasn’t really teased the devices yet, tipster Max J. thinks that the Nord N100 doesn’t exist and says there isn’t any evidence apart from a Geekbench score. Let’s wait and see if the leaks by Steve turn true in the coming days.

The post New tip reveals display, and battery specs of OnePlus Nord N10 5G and N100; say hello to headphone jack appeared first on Gizmochina.

The OnePlus Nord N100 is one of the two upcoming Nord smartphones that has been reported will launch later this month. Ahead of its arrival, the phone is already picking up necessary certifications.

The OnePlus Nord N100 has been certified by Thailand’s National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC). The certification reveals the phone has model number BE2013 and doesn’t mention 5G support in the list of network types supported which means it is a 4G smartphone.

There is still a lot we do not know about the phone but seeing as the phone doesn’t have 5G support, there is a possibility it is the OnePlus phone powered by a Snapdragon 460 processor. We speculate the phone will also have dual rear cameras and support for 18W fast charging. OnePlus already received a TÜV Rheinland certification for an 18W charger in August, so we expect it to ship with the OnePlus Nord N100.

While we are roughly two weeks away from the rumored October 26 launch date of the Nord N10 5G and Nord N100, there is still ample time for more details of the two smartphones to surface.

OnePlus debuted the OnePlus Nord, a mid-range smartphone after a big gap from OnePlus X. However, the device is available only in select areas like Europe and India. A few days back, the brand officially teased the arrival of a new Nord smartphone. Now, Steve from Onleaks has broken the launch date of the device.

According to Steve, OnePlus will unveil two more Nord smartphones, the Nord N10 5G, and Nord N100 on October 26, at 12 PM GMT. However, he has mentioned N10 as a 5G device but hasn’t included it on N100. This could be an indication that the N100 might be a budget device that got leaked earlier with Snapdragon 460 SoC or a Snapdragon 6 series SoC. But OnePlus hasn’t confirmed anything yet.

That said, Steve has neither revealed the launch place and specs nor the availability. If we recall, an earlier report by Android central broke the news that Nord N10 would be a 5G smartphone. And will launch in the US under $400. As per the report, the device will feature a 6.49-inch FHD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate. And Snapdragon 690 5G SoC, 6GB RAM,128GB storage, 64MP camera. The N100 could feature a 6.52-inch HD+ display, Snapdragon 460 SoC, 13MP main camera, and 6,000mAh battery.

It all started with a Geekbench score that showed a new OnePlus codenamed BE2028. Later, an XDA finding and a tip by Max J. revealed alleged renders of two new devices under “Billie” with a punch-hole display.

Following that, another Geekbench report hinted an OnePlus phone with the codename “Clover” with an alleged Snapdragon 660/662 SoC could be in the works. Later, an OnePlus device with Snapdragon 460 SoC was spotted on a proprietary source code hinting at the possibility of another device. Additionally, we also saw an 18W charger of OnePlus getting certified by TUV Rheinland.

Looking at all leaks and rumors, we feel Nord N10 will be a 5G device. And N100 could be a 4G device aimed at a cheaper price tag. We can expect more details from OnePlus post the OnePlus 8T launch.
