The OnePlus Nord N200 looks like it’s not going to offer much of an upgrade

We’re expecting OnePlus to announce the next offering in its Nord lineup with the OnePlus Nord N200. The device might have just passed through FCC certifications, suggesting a launch is imminent. But instead of having to wait around and see what the Nord N200 will include spec-wise, Evan Blass (@evleaks) spilled the beans for us all.

In addition to sharing a high-resolution render (that doesn’t feature a watermark), Blass also shared the complete spec sheet for the Nord N200. From this, it shows that the Nord N200 will sport a 6.49-inch IPS LCD display, with a 2400 x 1080 resolution, and a 90Hz refresh rate. The Snapdragon 480 will be at the helm, paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage that’s expandable thanks to the included microSD card slot. OnePlus is featuring a triple camera array here, headlined by a 13MP primary camera, along with a 2MP macro lens, and a 2MP Monochrome sensor.

Battery life is likely to be the most impressive aspect of the Nord N200, save for the 5G connectivity and 90Hz refresh rate. The battery on the Nord N200 will come in at 5,000mAh, but won’t sport any of the nifty Warp Charge technologies we’ve seen arrive for other OnePlus devices. Instead, the charging speeds will be capped at 18W, which isn’t all that surprising given the expected price.

Speaking of which, what is likely to help make the Nord N200 one of the best phones of the year is the fact that it’s slated to be priced under $250. This feels more like a side-step, an iterative update, compared to the Nord N100 or the Nord N10 from last year. But that’s just fine for those who want to get an updated OnePlus phone with OxygenOS and without breaking the bank.

We’re expecting to see the Nord N200 launched in the coming weeks, so it’s only a matter of time before the company takes off the veil.
