OnePlus 11 is yet to launch and it is all over the internet thanks to the countless rumors and leaks that continue to barge in. Well, OnePlus is working on its next Nord offering too. Dubbed as OnePlus Nord CE 3, it will be a successor to Nord CE 2 and will bring new hardware and design language onboard. Lucky for us, we got our hands on quality renders of the upcoming OnePlus Nord CE 3 thanks to the courtesy of tipster OnLeaks and 91Mobiles. Here’s the story that you should read.
OnePlus Nord CE 3 Design
The renders for the upcoming OnePlus Nord CE 3 show the phone in its full glory. Although still a work in progress, the final design may not be poles apart.
As per the reports, the OnePlus Nord CE 3 will bring a design upgrade. Instead of going for curved sides as in the case of every OnePlus phone nowadays, the Chinese maker is switching to flat sides. Before you can connect the dots, this is what the iPhone 14 series brings onboard. Yes, the OnePlus Nord CE 3 will have iPhone 14-like flat sides.
It isn’t the first time OnePlus is pulling off something like this. For those who would recall the Chinese maker’s first device aka the OnePlus X, it had flat sides and Nord CE 3 is likely to mimic the same. Apart from that, the renders also show its rear camera setup. It houses a triple camera setup arranged in two giant circular rims while the front sticks to a punch-hole cutout at the center.
The usual stuff that you will find on any smartphone i.e. USB-C at the bottom along with microphone and speaker grills. The power button sides on the right double as a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. Finally, the volume buttons are located on the left.
OnePlus Nord CE 3 Expected Rumors
Upcoming OnePlus Nord CE 3 is likely to get onboard a Snapdragon 695 SoC under the hood much like the Nord CE 2. There’s up to 256GB of storage and 12GB of RAM to pair it up with.
It will pack in a 6.7” IPS LCD panel boasting a 120Hz refresh rate. For the uninitiated, this is a drop from the AMOLED panel that Nord CE 2 used, although take it with a pinch of salt at this point.
OnePlus is eying towards using a 108MP shooter at the back that will be flanked with two 2MP shooters i.e. macro and depth snapper as usual. I personally consider these tiny sensors anything more than for decorative purposes though and the feeling is mutual for many tech enthusiasts out there.
The last bits of information that we have w.r.t. the upcoming OnePlus Nord CE 3 is that the phone has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and a 5,000 mAh battery with 67W fast charging tech among others.
OnePlus Nord CE 3 Launch Date
Isn’t this section important as well? It isn’t surprising that OnePlus hasn’t shared any information on OnePlus Nord CE 3 launch date at least at the time of writing this. OnePlus will put forth the official date soon but before that, we will see some update coming from the rumor mills as well.
