It was to come in a special box from Vides’ Reality to Idea design studio with a tote and back cover. Contrary to rumors, the handset wasn’t going to feature custom wallpapers. Instead, the case package would have had a QR code for a stylized wallpaper.

Sketches of the retail box of the Nord SE leaked back in October 2020 and they had implied that the handset would have a comic book-inspired design, something Vides is known for. New images show that it was basically just a Nord with extravagant packaging.
Why was the Nord SE shelved?
The original Nord comes with a 6.44 inches 90Hz AMOLED screen, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G chip, a quad-camera array (48MP main shooter + 8MP ultrawide sensor + 5MP depth module + 2MP macro unit), and a 4,115mAh battery with 30W charging.
The SE would have featured lastly the same specs, with the exception of a larger 4,500mAh cell and 65W fast charging tech, if reports are to go by.
The phone was seemingly going to be offered in a 12GB/256GB configuration, and the company was looking at a slightly higher price tag (£499) than the Nord model with the same memory specs (£469).
