The Chinese phone manufacturer will unveil the OnePlus Nord 6 in India in early next month. The device will be a sequel to the last year’s Nord 5. The manufacturer has not revealed if it will launch other variants in this lineup. According to a tipster, the Chinese manufacturer will unveil two other variants in this lineup. The upcoming OnePlus Nord CE 6 and OnePlus Nord CE 6 Lite are the names being bandied about for the two new variants. They're expected to make their debut in the coming months. A leaked image gives us a peek at the OnePlus Nord CE 6's design. Furthermore, details about the OnePlus Nord CE 6 Lite's specifications and features have also surfaced.
In a post on X, tipster Mukul Sharma claims that the Chinese tech company is planning to launch the OnePlus Nord CE 6 and OnePlus Nord CE 6 Lite in India. Both phones are said to launch in India in May. If true, this would mark the return of the Nord CE Lite series after nearly two years. Previously, the OnePlus Nord CE 4 Lite 5G launched in India in June 2024.
In addition, the leaker has also shared a hands-on photo of the OnePlus Nord CE 6, revealing the phone's design. The phone appears to be in black, with a flat back panel. The company's branding is visible in the center of the panel, while the top-left corner may house a square-shaped camera module, housing two camera lenses and an LED flash. The left side of the phone appears to house the power button and volume controls, while the left side may be clear.
Separately, citing industry sources, Smartprix has published key specifications and features of the OnePlus Nord CE 6 Lite. According to the report, the phone will feature a 6.7-inch LCD screen with a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. This alleged Nord CE model may be powered by an octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset. It is also said to have a 7,000mAh battery.
According to reports, the OnePlus Nord CE 6 Lite will have a dual rear camera setup, with a 50-megapixel main camera and possibly another sensor, details of which are currently unknown. It is also said to have a 16-megapixel front camera for selfie purposes. It is expected to have OxygenOS 16, based on Android 16. It is said to have a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for security purposes.
Regarding the pricing, it is said that the OnePlus Nord CE 6 Lite is expected to be priced at less than ₹23,000 when it is launched in India. This would be the price for the base variant, which is expected to have 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. There is also the possibility that cashback offers and bank discounts will be offered, which would further reduce the price to less than ₹20,000. These are just assumptions, so they cannot be considered confirmed.
