OnePlus seemingly has big plans for 2022, at least that’s what rumours suggest. We recently reported about the OnePlus Nord 2T and the design and specifications it may feature. The new leak, from91Mobiles, reveals details of another upcoming OnePlus Nord device. We now have more details about the alleged OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite, which is tipped to be the cheapest ever phone from the smartphone manufacturer.
Past rumours revealed that OnePlus will soon launch two Nord series smartphones in the first half of this year, including the Nord CE 2 Lite and the Nord 2T. The new leak highlights the design and some features of the upcoming Nord CE 2 Lite for the very first time.
As per the new leak, the upcoming OnePlus smartphone will include a glossy plastic rear panel with curved sides, unlike the predecessor Nord 2T that comes with a sandstone finish. The rear panel is seen housing a rectangular camera module with two large camera sensors, a smaller third camera, and an LED flash.
The new renders show the smartphone with a flat side-mounted fingerprint sensor on the right, while the left side includes the volume controls and a hybrid SIM slot. This suggests that the Liter version of the smartphone will not include a dedicated slot for a micro-SD card. At the bottom, the upcoming Nord smartphone includes a Type-C port, speaker grille, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The renders do not show Alert Slider, which was revealed in past leaks.
On the front, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite is tipped to include a punch-hole camera in the top left corner. The smartphone is also said to be the first Nord device to come packed with the Android 12 operating system out-of-the-box.
Specifications of the OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite have already been leaked previously. Going by past reports, the smartphone will include a 6.58-inch FHD+ display with up to a 120Hz refresh rate.
It is said to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC coupled with up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. Leaks have suggested that the Nord device will be backed by a 5,000mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging in the box.
On the camera front, the OnePlus smartphone is tipped to include a 64-megapixel OmniVision primary sensor coupled with a 2-megapixel macro lens and a 2-megapixel mono lens. For selfies and video calls, the smartphone is likely to include a 16-megapixel sensor inside the hole-punch display.
In terms of pricing, the upcoming smartphone is said to be cheaper than the Nord CE 2, which was launched in India at a starting price of Rs 23,999. Rumours suggest that the soon-to-launch liter version will be priced under Rs 20,000. The company hasn’t revealed any details about the OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite yet.
