In recent weeks we have been seeing quite a few leaks for two OnePlus mid-rangers and a pair of TWS buds. That trio is headed to India – the company just announced a launch event on April 28 and Amazon India put up a landing page. The tagline is “More Power to You”.
For now all we have are silhouettes, but
more official details should start trickling in. The two phones we mentioned
are the OnePlus 10R and the Nord CE 2 Lite 5G. Starting with the 10R (code name
“pickle”), this will be the company’s first phone with a Dimensity 8100. The
rumored specs tack closely to the sibling Realme GT Neo3, which is already
official.
This means that the promising chipset will
be paired with a 6.7” 120 Hz AMOLED display (FHD+) and a fast-charging 4,500
mAh battery. 150W fast, if the leaks are correct (the Neo also has a 5,000
mAh/80W version). The phone should have a 50 MP main camera (with OIS) and 8 MP
ultra wide on the back, plus a 16 MP selfie camera on the front. A classic OnePlus
feature – the alert slider – will not be present, rumors claim.
As for the OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G
(“Ace”), its catchy name will be paired with a Snapdragon 695, replacing the
Dimensity 900 of the regular Nord CE 2. Other changes include a 6.58” IPS LCD
(120 Hz) instead of the 6.43” AMOLED (90 Hz) and dropping the 8 MP ultra wide
camera, leaving only a 64 MP main module and two 2 MP helpers on the back.
Certifications also revealed the battery
spec – 4,500 mAh capacity, 33W fast charging (down from 65W). This sounds like
a particular Realme phone, the RMX3574, which we’ve seen on TENAA and expect to
launch as one of the Realme Q5 models coming later this month. One last thing –
the buds. The OnePlus Nord TWS headset was recreated in 3D by @OnLeaks. The
buds have short stems and 41 mAh internal batteries (per the FCC), which will
be topped up by the 480 mAh power bank inside the carrying case.
There’s no word on pricing yet, but the
OnePlus 9R launched at ₹ 40,000 a year ago, so expect the 10R to be in the same
ballpark. The Nord CE 2 (non-Lite) currently sells for ₹ 24,000.
