Previously, the IMDA certification had revealed the upcoming Nord 3 smartphone would bear the model number CPH2493. The IMDA certification revealed that the device would support 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC. The device has been listed in TUV certification, China Quality Certification Center (CQC) certification, and Indian BIS certification with the same model number.
The CQC certification also reveals that the smartphone would support 80W fast charging tech. The listing in BIS indicates that the smartphone launch is nearing in India.
Earlier, industry sources had exclusively revealed the launch timeline and specifications of the forthcoming device.
OnePlus Nord 3 is said to launch by the end of June or July 2023 in India and other global markets.
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.
