The mid-range OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G has a budget-friendly version of its own

The OnePlus 10 Pro might not be the only smartphone launched by the Chinese company in Q1 2022. At least three other mid- and low-end OnePlus phones are in the works according to the latest rumors. The most advanced of the three is the sequel to the Nord 2 aka OnePlus Nord 2T.

Then, we have the recently leaked OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G, a mid-range alternative for customers in need of 5G connectivity. Today, we’ve learned that the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G will have a cheaper version of its own called OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G (thanks @OnLeaks via SmartPrix).

Judging by the leaked specs, these two phones will be different in pretty much every aspect. They come with different displays, chipsets, memory and camera, so it’s a bit strange that OnePlus has decided to adopt a similar naming scheme

OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G rumored specs:

• 6.59-inch, Fluid Screen
• Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G chipset
• 6/8GB RAM and 128GB/256GB storage
• Triple camera setup: 64MP + 2MP + 2MP
• Secondary 16-megapixel camera
• Massive 5000mAh battery with 33W fast charging speed

Apparently, the Lite version of the Nord CE 2 5G has been specifically designed for the Indian market, just like the Nord 2T. The OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G should be announced along with the Nord CE 2 5G on February 11, just two days after Samsung’s Galaxy S22 big reveal.
