OnePlus recently launched a new smartphone in its budget-friendly Nord CE series, known as the Nord CE 3 Lite. This device boasts a well-rounded set of specifications, including a Snapdragon 695 chipset and a 108MP main camera. According to a recent report, the phone will also be released in the United States under a different name, the Nord N30. Now, the appearance of the N30 on the Google Play console and list of supported devices has confirmed that it is indeed a masked Nord CE 3 Lite.
A OnePlus forum member recently presented
evidence of the OnePlus Nord N30 being a rebranded Nord CE 3 Lite, headed to
the States. It’s supposed to be the successor to the Nord N20, and the Google
Play console listing seems to confirm that it’ll have a Full HD+ screen and 8GB
of RAM, powered by a Snapdragon 695 chip. It’s also listed to run Android 13.
Basically, it’s got pretty much the same specs as the Nord CE 3 Lite, which was
just released.
Additionally, the handset has appeared on
the list of Google Play-supported devices with the name OnePlus Nord N30 5G.
This all makes it evident that OnePlus is just slapping a new name on the
handset and calling it a day.
OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite has already been
released in India with the aforementioned specifications, but it also boasts a
5,000mAh battery that supports fast 67W charging. In the camera department, the
device is equipped with a triple-camera setup that includes a 108MP primary
camera along with two 2MP units for depth sensing and macro photography. For
selfies, there’s a 16MP front-facing camera.
