The next OnePlus budget phone could be launching in April

OnePlus started out as a company known for their inexpensive phones where they billed themselves as being the flagship killer. Fast forward to today, the company’s flagship phones are now priced almost on par with other high-end flagship phones, but the company has made some effort at trying to return to its budget roots.

The good news is that if you don’t think the OnePlus 11 is worth your money, then you might be interested to learn that the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite could be launching soon. This is according to a tweet by Max Jambor who claims that the Nord CE 3 Lite, successor to last year’s OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite could be launching on the 4th of April, 2023.

In terms of specs, a report from Gadget Gang back in 2022 in collaboration with @OnLeaks has suggested that the phone could come with a 6.7-inch FHD+ LCD screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G chipset can be found, and the phone will also be available in 8GB or 12GB RAM variants, with 128-256GB of storage.

The phone will also be packing a 108MP main camera along with a couple of 2MP cameras, and a 16MP shooter on the front. There will also be a 5,000mAh battery with support for 67W charging speeds and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor to top things off. As for pricing, that remains unclear, but seeing as its predecessor was priced under $300, hopefully the Nord CE 3 Lite will continue that tradition.
