If you're looking for a new affordable OnePlus Nord phone, you're probably in luck, as it looks like the successor to the OnePlus Nord CE, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G, could be just a few weeks away.
That's according to leaker Max Jambor, who on Twitter posted an image showing the name of the phone and the date of February 11. We have already heard rumors about the OnePlus Nord CE 2 landing in the first months of this year, so it adds up.
In addition, the image shows the design of the phone's camera block, which includes two large lenses, one smaller lens, and an LED flash. This also matches previous leaks, as unofficial renders showed the same design.
One thing that doesn't quite match up is the name, because even though it's written here as OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G, we've heard the phone called OnePlus Nord 2 CE before. We don't know if any will turn out to be accurate, but that's a minor point.
As for the release date and camera design, we'd take those details with a grain of salt, but Jambor is a respected leaker, and since we've heard and seen the same thing elsewhere, we think there's a good chance these details are correct. One way or another, we'll soon find out, because February 11 is just around the corner.
(*2*)Review: An affordable alternative to the Samsung Galaxy S22The OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G isn't the only phone expected in early February, with the Samsung Galaxy S22 lineup expected to arrive two days earlier on February 9.
That might steal a lot of the spotlight from the Nord CE 2 5G, but with a likely much lower price tag, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G is aimed at a different audience.
That relatively affordable price doesn't mean it's going to be a weak phone though, as previous leaks have pointed to a 6,4-inch AMOLED display with 90Hz refresh rate, MediaTek Dimensity 900 chipset, 6GB - 12 GB of RAM, up to 256 GB of storage, a 4.500 mAh battery with 65 W charging and a 64 MP main camera, joined by an 8 MP ultra-wide angle and a 2 MP macro.
So while this isn't exactly a selection of high-end specs, most of them are very solid on paper, and OnePlus is known for delivering value-for-money handsets- Premium.
