Big improvements and a still-distant launch timeline
This mobile tech-leaking collaboration, like most other such affairs involving Steve H., has proven reliable more than once in the past, giving us no reason whatsoever to doubt the accuracy of the latest report.
The Nord 3 could well resemble the Nord 2 (pictured here) while sporting a considerably larger screen.
Other details and a few key unanswered questions
After so many remarkable improvements, you shouldn’t really be shocked to hear that the 50 + 8 + 2MP triple rear-facing camera system could go virtually unchanged, and at least in terms of megapixels, the single selfie shooter looks set for a downgrade from 32 to 16MP.
Adding to the power of the Dimensity 9000 SoC, the OnePlus Nord 3 is tipped to pack as much as 16 gigs of RAM and 256 gigs of internal storage space while predictably starting at a slightly humbler 8 and 128GB respectively.
The Nord 3 is not the same thing as the Nord CE 3 (depicted here in leaked renders).
Last but certainly not least for hardcore OnePlus fans, the Nord 2’s handy alert slider is unsurprisingly not expected to go anywhere, although that’s really pretty much all we currently “know” about the Nord 3 design.
For reference, the OnePlus Nord 2 5G used to cost €399 in an entry-level configuration in Europe while unfortunately never reaching US stores. It’s clearly premature to make any firm projections, but both of those things could be true for the Nord 3 this summer as well.
