Last month, OnePlus launched their second-generation core edition smartphone dubbed the OnePlus Nord CE 2 which brings along the Dimensity 900 SoC and 65W SuperVOOC fast charging. And now, early renders of the OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite have surfaced giving us a rough idea of the design of the upcoming phone.
According to the renders revealed by
91mobiles, the Nord CE 2 Lite will likely get a glossy plastic rear panel with
a metal frame around. The rear panel appears to house a rectangular camera
island that holds a triple camera setup with two large lenses and one smaller
sensor. The LED flash will also be present on the camera island. On the right
side of the frame, we get a power button that will also come with an integrated
fingerprint scanner. On the left side of the frame, we get the volume rocker
and a hybrid SIM slot. On the bottom, we can observe a Type-C port, speaker
grille, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. And like the Nord CE 2, the Lite variant
will also be missing the Alert Slider.
According to previous reports, the OnePlus
Nord CE 2 Lite will likely come with a 6.59-inch FHD ‘fluid’ display, which
means that it will support a refresh rate higher than 60Hz. The panel type
could however be an LCD instead of an AMOLED. The device is also said to come
with the Snapdragon 695 SoC with support for 5G connectivity and will run
Android 12 out of the box. The phone will house a large 5,000mAh battery with
support for 33W fast charging.
For photography, the Nord CE 2 Lite will
have a triple camera setup at the rear, comprised of a 64MP OmniVision primary
camera, a 2MP macro sensor, and a 2MP macro lens. The selfie shooter upfront
will be a 16MP Sony IMX471 sensor. Current rumors suggest that the Nord CE 2
Lite will come with a starting price as low as Rs 20,000 (US$ 262).
