OnePlus will not replace the Nord CE 2, pictured, until early 2023. (Image source: NotebookCheck)According to new reports, OnePlus has finalised specifications for the Nord CE 3. Supposedly equipped with the Snapdragon 695 5G, the OnePlus Nord CE 3 is tipped to arrive with a 120 Hz display and a 5,000 mAh battery that supports 67 W fast charging, among other features.
@OnLeaks has partnered with GadgetGang to deliver details about the Nord CE 3, a smartphone that is slated to arrive in early 2023. While the device’s launch may be a while away, the pair claim to have obtained a near-complete specification sheet. Surprisingly, the Nord CE 3 is claimed to rely on the Snapdragon 695, a nominally less powerful chipset than the Dimensity 900 in the Nord CE 2.
Additionally, @OnLeaks claims that OnePlus will complement the Snapdragon 695 with 8 GB or 12 GB of RAM and 128 GB or 256 GB of flash storage. Unfortunately, the Nord CE 3 will lack microSD card expansion. Moreover, the Nord CE 3 will have a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, indicative of it relying on an IPS panel rather than an AMOLED one. Specifically, @OnLeaks alleges that the Nord CE 3 will launch with a 6.7-inch display that operates at 120 Hz with a 1080p resolution.
Furthermore, the leaker states that the Nord CE 3 will feature a 108 MP primary camera plus twin 2 MP rear-facing sensor. In other words, the Nord CE 3 will lack a dedicated ultra-wide-angle camera. Meanwhile, the Nord CE 3 will utilise the same 16 MP camera found in the Nord CE 2. Separately, the Nord CE 3 is rumoured to offer a 5,000 mAh battery that supports 67 W fast charging. In short, the Nord CE 3 contains a few upgrades over the Nord CE 2 but also with a few downgrades to boot.
