It looks like the OnePlus Z could actually be the Nord by OnePlus. Or under the Nord by OnePlus umbrella. OnePlus has filed for a trademark for the “Nord by OnePlus” name. The trademark was filed in March 2020. It is possible that the name OnePlus 8 Lite and the OnePlus Z were internal names for the new Nord by OnePlus Lineup. The trademark reveals that we could see a number of devices under the Nord by OnePlus name including devices like “Tablet computers; Smartphones; Sleeves for laptops; Loudspeakers for mobile phones; Headphones for mobile phones; Electronic book readers; Smart television; Remote controls for televisions”. The list is pretty exhaustive and while we don't think we will see devices like tablets under the brand anytime soon. It is something we can see down the road from “Nord by OnePlus”. With the OnePlus brand name now competing in the premium space with the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro, it looks like we can see more budget-friendly devices emerge under the Nord by OnePlus umbrella.
