A tipster had revealed that OnePlus would rebrand the OnePlus Ace 2V smartphone as Nord 3 for global markets. The specifications of the OnePlus Ace 2V are similar to the tipped specifications by our source. There are a few differences regarding the primary camera and display size. The smartphone would equip a 6.72 inches AMOLED display with an FHD+ resolution.

The display will have a refresh rate of 120Hz and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection. Underneath, it will be equipped with the Nord 3 smartphone with MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset built on a 4nm process.

The chipset will pair with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage. OnePlus would equip the smartphone with OxygenOS 13 based on Android 13 out of the box.

In the optics department, the Nord 3 is tipped to feature a triple rear camera setup with LED flash. A 50MP primary sensor with OIS and f/1.8 aperture would be equipped instead of a 64MP sensor on Ace 2V. An 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a 2MP macro sensor would accompany the primary sensor.

The display would have a punch-hole in the centre to house the 16MP selfie camera. A large 5000 mAh battery would back the smartphone with support for 80W SuperVOOC fast charging tech. Since the OnePlus Nord 2T is equipped with an alert slider, OnePlus would integrate an alert slider with OnePlus Nord 3 smartphone.

1) What are the OnePlus Nord 3 5G specifications (expected)?

Ans) There’s speculation that the OnePlus Nord 3 5G is going to be rebranded version of the OnePlus Ace 2V that launched in China this March. Going by this speculation, here’s what we can expect from the OnePlus Nord 3 5G.

* The OnePlus Nord 3 5G is expected to feature a 6.7-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate.
* The smartphone could be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset.
* For cameras, it could house a 64MP primary sensor, an 8MP secondary sensor and a 2MP sensor at the rear. It will also feature a 16MP front camera for selfies.

Ans) The Nord 3 was supposed to arrive in 2022, but the company chose to unveil the Nord 2T with minor upgrades. Now, the original successor to the Nord 2 is expected to arrive in the near future with better specifications this year. It could feature either a 4,500mAh or 5,000mAh battery under the hood. The company could provide support for a 100W fast charger considering the Nord 2T has support for 80W fast charging tech.

The mid-range phone features an AMOLED screen which will likely refresh at 120Hz and operate at FHD+ resolution. We might see a triple camera array at the back of the OnePlus Nord 3.

As per Sharma, the OnePlus Nord Buds 2R may launch soon in India, along with the OnePlus Nord 3, which is expected to launch soon in the country.

The company is yet to come up with an official confirmation on the date regarding the same. As of now, OnePlus has not yet revealed anything about the upcoming product.

OnePlus Nord Buds 2R to be a toned-down version of Nord Buds 2

OnePlus Nord Buds 2RAs of now, we don’t know what features the OnePlus Nord Buds 2R will have, but we expect them to be a more basic version of the OnePlus Nord Buds 2 (Review)

A recent report says that mass production of the OnePlus Nord Buds 2R has already started and has also been seen on the Malaysian SIRIM certification page, which double-checks the name. For those unaware, SIRIM is a regulatory agency in Malaysia that provides certification for a variety of electronic products.

The OnePlus Nord Buds 2R with the model number E510A have made an appearance on SIRIM certification website. This is the first time when the upcoming TWS has been spotted on a certification website. The listing doesn’t reveal anything about the upcoming Nord Buds 2R.

However, based on the moniker, we speculate that the Nord Buds 2R might be a cheaper variant of the Nord Buds 2. The company might remove a feature or two from the Nord Buds 2 and might call it Buds 2R. The company has done that in the past with the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 and OnePlus Buds Pro 2R.

OnePlus recently launched its OnePlus Nord Buds 2 alongside the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G smartphone.

OnePlus Nord Buds 2R

The brand is now to launch yet another pair of Nord-branded TWS, which will be dubbed the OnePlus Nord Buds 2R.

According to a new leak, the serial production of the OnePlus Nord Buds 2R has already begun, and the buds are said to launch alongside the upcoming OnePlus Nord 3 smartphone.

Additionally, the OnePlus Nord Buds 2R have been spotted on the Malaysian SIRIM certification website, which double-checks the moniker.

OnePlus Nord Buds 2RLet us take a quick recap of the Nods Buds 2 specifications and features.

The Nord Buds 2 offers a 12.4mm titanium dynamic driver with BassWave Enhancement algorithm. It supports up to 25dB active noise cancellation and also features transparency mode. It relies on Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity and offers Dolby Atmos audio support as well.

The Nord Buds 2 earbuds pack a 41mAh battery that lasts for around 7 hours on a charge. The charging case packs an additional 480mAh battery that provides around 36 hours of music playback.

Ans) According to industry sources serial production of the upcoming OnePlus Nord Buds 2R has begun, and the TWS might launch alongside the OnePlus Nord 3. Both products are said to launch soon in India.

Additionally, the OnePlus Nord Buds 2R (with the model number OnePlus E510A) have also been spotted on the Malaysian SIRIM certification website, which has confirmed their moniker and have also suggested that the launch must be nearing.

For those unaware, SIRIM is a regulatory body in Malaysia, which certifies various electronic products. The SIRIM listing of the OnePlus Nord Buds 2R means that the TWS have received the regulatory approval in the country.

For now, the specifications and features of the OnePlus Nord Buds 2R are unknown, but we expect them to be a toned-down variant of the OnePlus Nord Buds 2.In all likelihood, the OnePlus Nord Buds 2R will launch in India (and possibly in the global market) sometime in June, as the OnePlus Nord 3 is also rumoured to launch during the same time.

2) What are OnePlus Nord Buds 2 Specifications ?

Ans) The TWS will offer an in-ear design and will have a 41mAh battery. The case, on the other hand, will pack in a 480mAh battery and will have a USB Type-C charging port.

The FCC certification schematics also reveal the model number of the OnePlus Nord Buds 2 once again, and the same model number has also been spotted on the Indian BIS certification website.

If the brand’s previous trends are anything to go by, we can expect the OnePlus Nord Buds 2 to be a rebadged version of the OnePlus Buds Ace, which launched a little while ago in China, alongside the OnePlus Ace 2.

* Magic Compose: It is a new tool in Messages by Google that uses AI to help users add more personality to their conversations. It will suggest replies based on the context of their messages and even magically change the style of what they write.

* Find My Device: As part of Android 14, Google said it will update Find My Device later this summer to work with a bigger range of devices from different brands, like headphones, tablets, and more. This will help users keep track of all their devices. And to keep users safe and protect their privacy, unknown tracker alerts will let them know if an unrecognized tracking tag is following them and help them find it.

* Lock screen customisation: With Android 14, users will be able to customise their lock screen with new shortcuts and clocks that are beautifully designed. This will enable users to bring their own inspiration to their devices. Additionally, users have the option to experiment with a fresh monochromatic colour scheme that can be implemented throughout their entire phone interface.

* Emoji: With the emoji wallpaper feature, you can select up to fourteen different emoji, browse through a range of patterns, and choose a colour scheme to create a personalised wallpaper for both your home and lock screen. The wallpapers featuring emojis are designed to be interactive, meaning that the emojis on the wallpaper will react whenever you touch them.

* Cinematic wallpapers: The cinematic wallpaper feature allows users to transform any photo from their camera roll into a 3D image with motion effects, which can then be used as a background. By using a sparkle icon button, you can create a parallax effect for your photos that responds to the tilt of your device.

Google has partnered with iQOO, Lenovo, Nothing, OnePlus, OPPO, Realme, Tecno, vivo, and Xiaomi to further develop and optimise Android 14. It is also interesting to note that Samsung is missing from the Android 14 beta program.

If you recently bought a flagship smartphone from either of these brands, your device is likely to get the early beta build of Android 14.
