OnePlus Nord CE 3 render leak promises huge design overhaul
In This Article
Renders of what could be one of the most notable affordable phones of early 2023, the OnePlus Nord CE 3, have emerged online.
Established leaker @OnLeaks has taken to Twitter and to the91mobileswebsite with crisp 5K renders of the OnePlus Nord CE 3. They’re apparently taken from a prototype unit.
Sooo#FutureSquad… Here comes your very first and quite early look at the#OnePlusNordCE3! (360° video + crispy 5K renders)On behalf of my Friends over@91mobiles👉🏻https://t.co/vmp0SQ5mGBAs reminder, I also previously leaked its full specs sheet 👉🏻https://t.co/7Z4EGYGRLTpic.twitter.com/fxLeJcvTTZ
The images reveal a different design direction for the affordable line. OnePlus appears to be stepping away from the curves of previous models and towards an iPhone-esque flat-edged design. It’s vaguely reminiscent of theOnePlus Xfrom 2015, and more recently the region-limited OnePlus Nord N20.
There’s a fingerprint sensor stashed behind the power button on the right hand edge. Around back there’s a triple camera sensor set-up, with a 108MP sensor leading the way, alongside a couple of 2MP sensors.
Elsewhere, OnLeaks provides some interesting key specs. While a 6.7-inch 120Hz LCD would mark a step up in size and fluidity over theOnePlus Nord CE 2, it would be an unfortunate climb in terms of vibrancy. The latter had a 6.43-inch 90Hz OLED.
OnePlus is apparently switching to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 695 chip for the new phone, so it’s not going to be setting the benchmarks alight. On the other hand, 12GB RAM and 256GB of storage both sound generous, and the claim of a 5000mAh battery would represent a step up from the CE 2, accompanied by a 67W charger.
The OnePlus Nord CE 3 will apparently be launching early in 2023. We liked the OnePlus Nord CE 2 quite a lot, so we’ll be following this one with interest.
