OnePlus Nord 3 Specifications (Expected)
Although the OnePlus Nord 3 is reported to be a rebranded Ace 2V, it might not feature the exact same specifications as its Chinese counterpart.
For one, the Nord 3 is rumored to get a 16MP front camera and a triple camera unit consisting of a 50MP main camera (with OIS), an 8MP ultra-wide camera, and a 2MP macro shooter.
But the Ace 2V gets a 64MP primary camera with OIS.
There may be other differences.
The Nord 3 will likely flaunt a 6.74-inch AMOLED display with an FHD+ resolution of 2772 x 1240 pixels and a 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, it will be powered by the Dimensity 9000 chipset paired with up to 16 GB of RAM.
