Alleged OnePlus Nord 3 Live Images
The OnePlus Nord 3 live images have been shared by a Twitter user @realMlgmXyysd, showing off the complete design.
The phone looks identical to the OnePlus Ace 2V, which makes us believe the Nord 3 could be a rebrand.
While the live image shows the design completely, the source appears to be dubious as we see the Chinese variant and not the global model, so it may very well be the OnePlus Ace 2V.
The handset has a centre-positioned punch-hole cutout for the selfie shooter, flat edges, and narrow bezels.
Flipping the phone to the back, we are greeted with two circular modules that house triple camera sensors and an LED flash. We see OnePlus branding as well.
The power button and alert slider are on the right edge, while the volume rocker could be on the left side.
Interestingly, one of the images shows the ‘About Phone’ page of the phone.

Faqs on OnePlus Nord 3 5G
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.
* The OnePlus Nord 3 5G is also expected to pack a 5,000mAh battery with 80W fast charging support.
* In terms of storage options, OnePlus could offer the Nord 3 5G with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of onboard storage.
* On the software front, the OnePlus Nord 3 5G will most likely run Android 13-based OxygenOS 13 out-of-the-box.
2) OnePlus Nord 3 5G .Everything we need to know ?
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. It could include a high-resolution wide-angle sensor with support for OIS. It will reportedly offer the ability to record 4K videos.
While there are no hints on the pricing details, we expect the OnePlus Nord 3 to fall under Rs 30,000 segment. This is the price segment that OnePlus has targeted for previous versions too. If the company is planning to launch this phone in the coming months, then we should hear about them more.
3) OnePlus Nord 3 5G Listed On SIRIM; Local Launch Likely Coming.Details?
Ans) OnePlus could potentially launch a new mid-range device soon and it might be coming to Malaysia not long after the unveiling. The long-rumoured Nord 3 5G, the successor to the Nord 2, is said to be a rebranded Ace 2V but with some altered specs.
While nothing has been officially announced by the company yet, we found that the Nord 3 has already been listed on the SIRIM database with the model number CPH2493. Moreover, it has been certified no less than three times by different companies, dating all the way back to April and the most recent one was registered less than two weeks ago.
The phone itself was leaked in its entirety just last month and if it’s accurate, it should be nearly identical to the Ace 2V. It will sport a 6.74-inch AMOLED display with a 2772×1240 resolution, a peak brightness of 1,450 nits, and a 120Hz refresh rate. Additionally, the brand will equip the phone with its signature alert slider.
Internally, it will run on a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, although the configurations could be different when it arrives here. For connectivity, it will support 5G, Wi-Fi 6, NFC, and Bluetooth 5.3 as well as having an IR blaster.
The camera setup is where it will allegedly differ from its Chinese counterpart, with the primary camera using a 50MP sensor instead of 64MP along with an 8MP ultra-wide and a 2MP macro lens. Powering the phone will be a 5,000mAh battery with support for 80W wired fast charging. It will also ship with OxygenOS 13 based on Android 13.
The OnePlus Nord 3 5G could come in at just under the RM2,000 mark if it follows a similar pricing structure as the Nord 2T. Since the company has not made any announcements regarding the device, we’ll have to wait to find out when the device will be available in Malaysia.
