OnePlus may be gearing to enter yet another segment of the midrange market, especially in India, with a phone called the OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G. The new phone, as far as naming goes, appears to be a light version of the yet-to-be-announced OnePlus Nord CE 2 which itself would be a light version of the OnePlus Nord 2. Confused much? We don’t blame you.
Serial tipster Steve Hemmerstoffer who goes by the handle @OnLeaks on Twitter, has managed to get his hands on the alleged OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G spec-sheet, revealing key details about the phone’s hardware.
According to the leak (via Smartprix), the Nord CE 2 Lite 5G will come with a 6.59-inch 1080p “Fluid” display (unspecified panel), a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 chip paired with either 6GB or 8GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB storage, triple rear camera setup with a 64MP main and two 2MP sensors (unspecified), 16MP selfie camera, and 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging.
You should obviously take all this information with a pinch of salt, because no part of this has been made official by OnePlus at the time of writing. The tipster adds that the OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G will be launched in India “later this year,” so hopefully more information will start to trickle in soon enough. We’re also assuming the OnePlus Nord CE 2 would arrive before that—if at all it’s under the works, too.
The original OnePlus Nord CE 5G is currently listed on OnePlus India website at a starting price of Rs 22,999 for a version with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. The phone also comes with 8GB/128GB and 12GB/256GB for Rs 24,999 and Rs 27,999, respectively.
