OnePlus Nord SE could be the next phone in the Nord-lineup, according to the latest report. The Nord SE is slated to be a follow-up to the OnePlus Nord that was launched in July and marked OnePlus’ re-entry into the mid-range smartphone segment. Recently, the company also launched the OnePlus Nord N10 and Nord N100 for the US and the European markets.
According to a report by the Android Central that cites “insider sources”, OnePlus Nord SE is likely the next phone from the company that’s slated to launch sometime in the first quarter of 2021. The report states that while the company has not decided on a launch date, the Nord SE is expected to go official after the OnePlus 9 that could be announced by mid-March 2021.
As per the new information, the OnePlus Nord SE is known by the codename “Ebba” internally and the phone is rumoured to feature the same Warp Charge 65 support that debuted with the OnePlus 8T. The Nord SE is expected to feature a 4,500mAh battery, the same as the Nord but with 65W fast charging support, taking less than 40 minutes to fully charge the phone.
Moreover, the Nord SE is tipped to feature an AMOLED panel and will launch in India and Europe. The report hints that the Nord SE doesn’t seem likely to be released for the US market. Going by the tipped specifications, the OnePlus Nord SE could be a direct successor to the OnePlus Nord but there’s no official word on it just yet.
OnePlus Nord is priced starting at Rs 24,999 in India and features a 6.44-inch Full HD+ (2400 x 1080 pixels) resolution display that uses an AMOLED panel with a dual punch-hole cutout that gives it a 20:9 aspect ratio. The screen has a 90Hz high refresh rate and is topped with a layer of Gorilla Glass 5 for added protection.
The Nord is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G chipset with an octa-core CPU and Adreno 620 GPU. This is paired with upto 12GB RAM and upto 256GB storage option to choose from. It runs on Android 10 based OxygenOS 10.0.
It comes with a quad-camera setup on the back that consists of a primary 48MP camera, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera with 119-degree field-of-view, a 5MP depth sensor and a 2MP macro camera. On the front, there’s a 32MP primary selfie camera accompanied by an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera with 105-degree field-of-view.
The OnePlus Nord has an in-display fingerprint sensor and is equipped with a 4,115mAh battery with support for 30W fast charging out-of-the-box. OnePlus claims that the Warp Charge 30T adapter takes around 30 minutes to charge the phone from 0-70%.
