OnePlus Nord 3 5G has officially been launched in India at a starting price of Rs 33,999 (8GB/128GB). A model with 16GB RAM and 256GB storage will set you back by Rs 37,999. Some might say, the Nord 3 has been a long time in the making, coming over 2 years after the Nord 2. OnePlus did launch a follow-up Nord 2T but that was more a stop-gap solution instead of a full-blown successor.
-
The Nord 3 has a glass back. This is Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The frame is made of plastic. You can get the phone in two colours: Tempest Gray with a matte finish and Misty Green which is relatively glossy.
-
We are happy to report that OnePlus has retained the alert slider. You also get an IR blaster in this phone. But an even bigger deal is its IP54 rating which makes the Nord 3 resistant to splashes/rain.
-
There are three cameras in this phone headlined by a 50MP main Sony IMX890 sensor, the same sensor seen inside the flagship OnePlus 11. The capable sensor also sits behind an optically stabilised lens. The other two cameras include an 8MP ultrawide and 2MP macro. The OnePlus Nord 3 is capable of recording 4K@60fps videos.
-
On the front you get a 6.74-inch AMOLED display with 1080p resolution and up to 120Hz refresh rate. The panel supports HDR10+ and is protected by Dragontrail glass. The hole punch cutout at the centre houses a 16MP selfie camera.
-
Powering the Nord 3 is a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset. OnePlus pairs this with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 256GB of UFS3.1 storage.
-
The flagship Dimensity 9000 ensures fast and fluid performance, though high refresh rate gaming is not supported on the Nord 3.
-
Running the show is OxygenOS 13.1 based on Android 13. OnePlus is committing to 3 years of major OS and 4 years of security updates.
-
The Nord 3 comes with a 5,000mAh battery and supports 80W fast charging.
-
At its price, the Nord 3 will compete with the newly launched iQOO Neo 7 Pro 5G which has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chip and 120W fast charging.
