OnePlus Nord 2 CE's leaked renders reveal design shared with Oppo Reno7 SE
Earlier this week, a media report claimed that the OnePlus Nord 2 CE - codenamed "Ivan" - is expected to go official by the end of January or mid-February 2022 and cost between INR24,000 ($315/€280) and INR28,000 ($370/€325) in India. The source also shared the phone's specs, including Dimensity 900 SoC, up to 12GB RAM, and up to 256GB storage. Now, the same source is back with a set of OnePlus Nord 2 CE's renders, revealing its design.
Considering the design and previously leaked specs of the OnePlus Nord 2 CE, it's safe to say that it isn't an entirely new smartphone but a rebadged Oppo Reno7 SE 5G with a better camera system, faster charging (65W vs. 33W), and a 3.5mm headphone jack onboard.
The Reno7 SE 5G features a triple camera on the rear comprising 48MP primary, 2MP macro, and 2MP depth units, while the Nord 2 CE retains the macro camera but replaces the main unit with a 64MP camera and the depth sensor with an 8MP ultrawide camera.
And since this is a OnePlus device, it will run OxygenOS 12 (based on Android 12) out of the box, unlike the Oppo Reno7 SE 5G, which boots Android 11-based ColorOS 12. You can head this way to check out the full specs of Reno7 SE 5G and Nord 2 CE.
The leaked images confirm Grey and Olive Green color options for the OnePlus Nord 2 CE, but its launch date and availability remain unknown.

Why so soon? It's only 6 months since CE was released.
Hopefully it wont explode and will not throttle. Very cool phone.
Why is Oppo still adding the punch hole on the left side? Not only is it super distracting but also takes up so much space along with the clock on the left = less space for notifications Idk why this left side clock trend hasn't died yet
