Check out live updates from the OnePlus Nord CE launch. (Image Sourec: OnePlus)OnePlus is set to launch the OnePlus Nord CE, its second Nord-series device in India today. The new OnePlus Nord CE is expected to be a “Core Edition” mid-range device, that is still expected to add a few new features to the original like a bigger battery, a 3.5mm jack.
Check out the launch here.
The OnePlus Nord CE is expected to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G 5G chipset, and will likely feature the same 90Hz AMOLED display used on the original OnePlus Nord. The phone is now slimmer than the original OnePlus Nord, yet carries a bigger 4,500mAh battery with support for Warp Charge 30T fast charging.
A number of leaks around the OnePlus Nord CE have surfaced ahead of the phone's launch. These include a couple of price leaks from the UK which suggest that the Nord CE could start at $329 (about Rs 24,000) for the base 8GB/128GB variant and $399 (about Rs 29,000) for the 12GB/128GB variant. Check out the leak below.
A number of leaks of the OnePlus Nord CE have pointed to one missing feature that has been a OnePlus signature since the brand's earliest smartphones: the Alert Slider.
The Alert Slider on OnePlus phones is a small physical switch on the right edge, above the power button. This switch allows a three-way switch between the device's Ringer, Vibrate and Silent profiles. However, the OnePlus Nord CE could reportedly miss out on the feature. Check out the renders below which show no sign of the Alert Slider.
The OnePlus Nord CE is expected to launch in two colour variants. These include the Blue Void variant and another black variant that has been spotted in leaked renders. The Blue Void colour, seen in the tweet below, is quite similar to the Marble Blue colour of the original OnePlus Nord.
