Sharp new renders reveal the design of the thoroughly leaked OnePlus Nord 2 CE 5G

There’s been little to no movement on the OnePlus product release front over the last few months, as the company revised its strategy to skip the traditional T-branded fall flagship announcement while “settling” for three new Nord mid-rangers this year.

The 16MP front-facing snapper will allegedly go unchanged as well, while under the hood, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 750 processor is set to be replaced by a similarly powerful MediaTek Dimensity 900. Said mid-end chipset is to be paired with up to a hefty 12GB RAM count and 256 gigs of internal storage space, and last but certainly not least, the sizable 4,500mAh battery should support blazing fast 65W charging technology.

With a good old fashioned headphone jack and USB Type-C port also in tow, as well as Android 12 undoubtedly running the software show out the box, the OnePlus Nord 2 CE 5G should see daylight in select Asian and European markets as early as January at a very similar price point as its predecessor. In case you’re wondering, the Nord CE 5G currently costs €299 in countries like France in an 8GB RAM/128GB storage variant.
