The phone will pack a massive 8000mAh battery with 80W SUPERVOOC fast charging. OnePlus claims it can last over 2.5 days on a single charge. It will also support 27W reverse wireless charging.
OnePlus Nord CE6 Lite
The Nord CE6 Lite will come with a different design. It will feature a vertical camera layout and a punch-hole display. The phone will be available in Vivid Mint and Hyper Black colours.
As per earlier leaks, the device may feature a 6.7-inch LCD screen, a 50MP main camera, and a 16MP front camera. It is also expected to remove the 3.5mm headphone jack to make space for the larger battery.
It will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Apex processor. This is an upgrade over the Snapdragon 695 used in the previous model. The phone is also confirmed to feature a 144Hz display and a 7000mAh battery.
A recent listing on Geekbench suggests the phone will come with 8GB RAM and run Android 16.
Both phones will be available on Amazon, the OnePlus India website, and offline stores after the launch. More details, including pricing, will be announced at the official launch event on May 7.
