However, the phone has been a part of leaks for quite some time, and we have a fair idea of what to expect from the Nord CE 3. The phone is again tipped to include Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 695 SoC. The same chipset is also powering a bunch of mid-budget phones such as iQOO Z6, Moto G62, and Vivo T1. A Geekbench listing also suggests the Nord CE 3 might come with up to 8GB of RAM and Android 13 out-of-the-box. We can expect OnePlus to offer a variant with 6GB/4GB of RAM as well.

The OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite could pack a 6.7-inch display that might offer Full-HD+ resolution. Its predecessor, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite, features a smaller 6.59-inch screen. The panel is expected to have support for 120Hz, considering a lot of phones offer it. It will be interesting to see whether OnePlus will go for an LCD panel or an AMOLED panel. The latter typically offers a better display viewing experience, though it increases the bill of materials.

There have been conflicting rumours about the rear camera system. A leak suggests there will be a 108-megapixel primary camera, while some leaksters on Twitter claim it might be a 64-megapixel sensor. We will have to see if OnePlus will add an ultra-wide camera lens.

Under the hood, the new OnePlus phone could retain the 5,000mAh battery. The company is said to provide support for 67W fast charging, which will likely be a first in the segment. The Nord CE 3 will take on notable rivals like Samsung and Xiaomi’ Redmi sub-brand.
