Unike the OnePlus Nord N20, its supposedly upcoming successor is a re-brand of a smartphone previously released in India and Europe. That may be no bad thing, as the CE 3 Lite in question has launched with decent specs for what might be a ~US$300 smartphone in the US.
They include a 108MP main camera and a 120Hz display driven by the 5G-capable Snapdragon 695 SoC. It also features 67W SuperVOOC charging that will hopefully make it to its new market should it launch there soon.
This event may indeed be nearly upon us, according to a new leak associated with the Google Play Console. It has been updated with a listing for the Nord N30 5G, which apparently has the same model number (OP5958L1) as the CE 3 Lite.
It also still apparently has 8GB of RAM, an FHD screen and a processor with the Adreno 619 GPU. Therefore, OnePlus may announce an update to the Nord N line of smartphones soon.
