The OnePlus Nord series has carved out a place for itself in the mid-range smartphone segment. After the launch of Nord CE 4 in April, OnePlus is gearing up to launch another phone under the Nord name, the OnePlus Nord CE 4 Lite. While details are still emerging, leaks and rumors paint a clear picture of what to expect from this upcoming budget proposal.

one. Possible rebranding of Oppo K12x

The biggest rumor regarding the Nord CE 4 Lite is that it could be a rebranded version of the Oppo K12x that was launched in China earlier this year. This points to a significant similarity in the specifications of the two phones.

2. Display and design

If the K12x is indeed a project, the Nord CE 4 Lite is expected to show a significant improvement in display technology over the previous model. It is likely to feature a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. It is also said that the phone will have a fingerprint sensor embedded in the screen and a brightness value of 2100 nits.

Leaked images of the device point to a stylish design with flat bezels, a trend that has become increasingly popular in smartphones lately. The rear panel appears to have a glass coating that enhances the premium look and feel.

3. Productivity

The whispers around the processor are a bit mysterious. While the Oppo K12x is powered by the Snapdragon 695 chipset, rumors suggest that the Nord CE 4 Lite may feature the recently introduced Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 processor. However, since both chipsets share a similar core architecture, don’t expect a huge boost in performance. . The phone is expected to be offered in configurations with 8GB or 12GB of RAM, which will provide extensive multitasking capabilities. Storage options can range from 128GB to 256GB.

4. Camera

In terms of camera capabilities, the Nord CE 4 Lite is likely to have a dual-lens setup on the back consisting of a 50MP primary sensor and a 2MP depth sensor. This configuration should provide good photographic results, especially in well-lit conditions. The phone is said to feature a 16-megapixel front-facing selfie camera for capturing clear and detailed self-portraits.

5. battery and charger

The device is expected to have a 5500mAh battery. This should easily provide enough juice for a full day of moderate to heavy use. It is also said that the phone will support 80W fast charging.

6. Software

Nord CE 4 Lite is expected to run on OxygenOS 14 based on Android 14 out of the box. It should provide users with a smooth and user-friendly interface along with the latest features and security updates. The phone is also likely to feature a 3.5mm headphone jack, which is becoming increasingly rare on smartphones these days.

7. Pricing and Availability

While there is no official word on the price yet, given the expected specs and price range of the Oppo K12x, the Nord CE 4 Lite is likely to be priced below Rs. 20,000 marks in India. The official launch is planned for June 18, 2024; so stay tuned for updates on pricing and availability.
