OnePlus started focusing on the mid-range segment with theOnePlus Nordthis July and expanded its portfolio withNord N10 5G and N100in October. According to a newAndroid Centralreport, the company is planning to launch a new phone in the Nord series namely OnePlus Nord SE next year.
One of the major selling points of the OnePlus Nord SE is said to be its fast charging capability. The report claims thatNord SE will pack OnePlus’ 65W fast charging technology – Warp Charge 65seen on theOnePlus 8T. It is also tipped tofeature the same 4,500mAh batterythat entirely fills up in 39 minutes.
The Nord SE, codenamed Ebba, will reportedlyequip an AMOLED panel, unlike LCD displays seen on the Nord N10 5G and N100. However, we will have to wait to see if OnePlus is planning to use a 60Hz panel or a smoother 90Hz one. Other key specifications of the Nord SE remain unknown for now, but as always, the rumors should hopefully start flowing in over the coming months.
In terms of availability, the OnePlus Nord SE is expected to launch ‘shortly after’ theOnePlus 9 series, which is likely to be launchedin March next year. The device istipped to go on sale in India and the EU, and a U.S. launch seems unlikely.
OnePlus Nord swiftly managed to gain a spot in the Indian smartphone market and even became thebest-selling smartphone in the country. It will be interesting to see if the upcoming Nord SE manages to become a true successor of the OnePlus Nord.
