Delhi : The OnePlus Nord 2 was an enormous hit. The phone not only dazzled its customers with its attractive appearance, but it also performed admirably. Yes, the phone was in the middle. However, it provided a lot of value for the price. However, the phone was unveiled back in the summer of 2021, two years ago!

Well, 2024 will be the last year of software support for the Nord 2. Additionally, OnePlus Nord 3 rumours have just surfaced on Twitter. The tipster is not particularly well-known, though. you are aware of the situation. You should treat all of the information you are about to read with caution.

Leaked OnePlus Nord 3 specs

The OnePlus Nord 3's anticipated internal specifications have recently been revealed by the leaker. So, without further ado, here are the specifications that have been leaked:

  • AMOLED display, 6.74"
  • 120 hertz of refresh
  • A flat side
  • A 8200 SoC in dimension
  • Speeds of 100W charging
  • A battery between 4,500 and 5,000 mAh
  • A trio of cameras
  • Based on Android 13, OxygenOS 13.1
  • A warning slider

The Diemsity 8200 SoC in this case is what can worry you. The Dimensity 9200 chipset from MediaTek, meanwhile, is currently available and is an upgrade. That SoC, however, is for high-end devices and is not appropriate for the Nord series. Therefore, it seems sense that OnePlus choose the little less expensive 8200 for the Nord 3.

Now, when the Nord 2 was released, it had a brand-new chipset called Dimensity 1200. The Dimensity 8200 is likewise brand-new. It was only recently released by MediaTek. And the 8200 is significantly faster and has a longer battery life than the Dimensity 1200. Therefore, the OnePlus Nord 3's performance shouldn't cause too much anxiety.

How is the camera set up?

Regarding the OnePlus Nord 3's camera configuration, the leaker did not provide any reliable details. The phone will have a triple camera array on the back, he just said. Now, the use of three cameras is nothing new. Even the Nord 2 had a triple configuration.

As a reminder, the OnePlus Nord 2 has a 50MP main sensor. It was coupled with a 2MP depth sensor and a 5MP ultra-wide sensor. This particular setup of cameras was seen as rather modern at the time.

Therefore, even if the OnePlus Nord 3 has a comparable arrangement but superior sensors, it can easily outperform the competition in the mid-range. When you examine the sketch more closely, you will see that the top camera housing is bigger than the bottom one. OnePlus may therefore incorporate a sizable main sensor inside the Nord 3.

There is a slim probability that the Nord 3 will contain expensive secondary sensors because the secondary camera housing is so compact. In fact, it's possible that OnePlus will continue using the same ones as the Nord 2.

Alongside the camera arrangement, there are two holes that may be seen if you look a little more. What about the other if one is for flash? In any case, OnePlus may fill that gap with a unique sensor of some sort. Possibly, a sophisticated laser autofocus is what it is.

However, the major thing about this OnePlus Nord 3 rumour is that its feature sheet appears to be quite impressive. If OnePlus is able to integrate a good set of sensors, it will undoubtedly be a reliable mid-range device. However, we need more trustworthy information before drawing such a conclusion. We anticipate receiving them quite shortly.
