The long-rumored OnePlus Nord 3 may be just over a week away now. According to noted tipster Max Jambor, the new mid-range device will debut on July 5. The handset has already appeared in an unboxing video ahead of its launch. Leaks have also revealed its detailed specs and pricing structures across multiple markets.
The OnePlus Nord 3 has been circulating on the rumor mill for some time now. We have seen it in leaked renders, along with full specs. A couple of weeks back, reports emerged that OnePlus will price the new mid-range phone at €449 (approx. $490) for the 8GB + 128GB variant and €549 (approx. $600) for the 16GB + 256GB variant in Europe. The information came courtesy of reliable industry insider Roland Quandt.
Another noted tipster Abhishek Yadav recently claimed that the 8GB + 128GB OnePlus Nord 3 will cost ₹32,999 (approx. €370/$400) in India. The 16GB + 256GB variant will cost ₹36,999 (approx. €415/$450) in the country. As you can see, the Indian pricing of the phone is substantially lower than the European pricing or its USD equivalent. But, regional phone prices are never a 1-to-1 conversion of prices in markets.
That said, the source of the Indian pricing of the OnePlus Nord 3 isn’t 100 percent sure about the reported prices. They are only claiming a 90 percent accuracy. So the final price may be a bit different. It’s unlikely to be similar to the European pricing, though. The Indian smartphone market is quite price sensitive. Companies often lower their profit margin to compete fiercely against other brands.
The OnePlus Nord 3 has leaked in an unboxing video
Despite over a week to go before its launch, the OnePlus Nord 3 has already appeared in an unboxing video. A recently-posted YouTube Shorts shows the device in a greenish color. It confirms the previously leaked design, including an alert slider on the right side. The two big circular camera rings house three sensors in total. The primary camera is said to be a 50MP Sony IMX890 sensor with OIS (Optical Image Stabilization).
Note that the OnePlus Nord 3 will likely be a rebadged OnePlus Ace 2V launched in China in March this year. So its remaining specs aren’t a mystery. We expect an Android 13-powered 5G smartphone with a 6.74-inch AMOLED display. OnePlus will include a 16MP selfie camera and offer an under-display fingerprint scanner. The device will also feature stereo speakers and pack a 5,000mAh battery with 80W fast charging. Stay tuned for the official launch of the OnePlus Nord 3 next week.
