OnePlus could soon launch a budget phone that could seriously endanger the so-called feature-packed mid-ranger from other brands. The company has already kicked off the handset’s teaser campaign in India, dropping cryptic visuals of a silhouette smartphone, alongside a tagline that reads “Entering the Nord era soon.”
The handset, purported to be Nord 6, could put other mid-rangers to shame, or at least that is what the leaked specifications suggest. Before we talk about the hardware upgrades, it’s important to note that the Nord 6 is believed to be a rebranded version of the OnePlus Turbo 6, which is available only in China.
Upgraded specs could result in a serious price jump
On the performance front, the handset will offer a serious jump, thanks to the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 (4nm) chipset. Its GPU is powerful enough to support high frame rate gaming.
For capturing pictures, the smartphone could come with a 50MP primary camera with optical image stabilization and a 16MP selfie shooter. Finally, the OnePlus Nord 6 could also feature a 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED screen that supports a refresh rate of up to 165Hz.
However, all the upgraded specifications could result in a serious bump in the phone’s price. The Nord 6’s price tag could be around $500 in India, where it is confirmed to launch in early April. A United States launch is still under question, though.
