OnePlus provides official 'first look' at Nord 3 and Nord CE 3 5G mid-rangers ahead of July 5 launch
We're talking two different Nord-branded mid-end smartphones and an undoubtedly ultra-affordable new pair of true wireless earbuds, and just in case all of the information officially revealed today feels a little cryptic or incomplete, additional announcements will come tomorrow, June 28 to essentially ensure no question remains unanswered until July 5.
The OnePlus Nord 3 5G looks positively dreamy
There's obviously a good reason why OnePlus is willing to drop the secrecy regarding its next big Nord release, and that's all the leaks preceding Kinder Liu's "first look" on Twitter. We've known for a while how the handset is supposed to look, so we're definitely not surprised to see its triple rear-facing camera system, "flat display design", and beloved alert slider officially rendered on social media and the OnePlus India website today.
We're pretty sure we're looking at a jumbo-sized 6.74-inch affair here with a silky smooth 120Hz AMOLED screen in tow, as well as a more than respectable MediaTek Dimensity 9000 processor under the hood and up to a whopping 16 gigs of RAM paired with as much as 256GB internal storage space.
Of course, the entry-level Nord 3 5G configuration is only set to offer 8GB RAM and 128GB storage, and according to two different tipsters, its starting price will be set at a fairly reasonable €449 in Europe. Yes, the handset is headed for the old continent in addition to India, while the US market is unfortunately likely to miss out on official OnePlus Nord 3 availability, just like it did with the OG Nord and the Nord 2.The OnePlus Nord CE 3 5G is also... coming soon
All that the company is ready to reveal about this other Nord smartphone slated for a full July 5 announcement is its single Aqua Surge colorway and a fairly similar rear cover design with that of the Nord 3. The Nord CE 3 looks to feature a 50MP primary shooter of its own joined by two far humbler imaging sensors on its back, and according to a report from way back in March, its spec sheet will include a Snapdragon 782 processor and a 6.72-inch AMOLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate technology.
The OnePlus Nord Buds 2r are decidedly eye-catching and reportedly dirt-cheap
