OnePlus has announced five new products, including a new phone from its popular Nord lineup, which will launch in Europe and India next month. The company will release two phones, a tablet, a smartwatch, and a pair of earbuds, and has already shared a handful of details for each device, though full specs and prices will have to wait until the launch event on July 8th.
The Nord 5 is the latest in the company’s mid-range smartphone line, and is the first Nord to feature a flagship Qualcomm chip — in this case the Snapdragon 8S Gen 3, which was designed for cheaper flagship phones — along with an upgraded cooling system and support for LPDDR5X RAM. That’s all we know about the phone’s specs, but from the picture we can glean that it’ll come in a pale blue finish (officially dubbed “Dry Ice”) and features a dual rear camera.
The Nord 5 will be joined by the Nord CE5, which should run a little cheaper, but all we know about that is its “Marble Mist” finish. In an interview with Techradar, Celina Shi, OnePlus’ European head of marketing, also confirmed that both phones will feature the new customizable Plus Key, rather than the company’s signature Alert Slider, and the AI Plus Mind feature it enables.
The OnePlus Pad Lite sounds like another affordable option, described as “entry level” by the company. It has the same central, circular camera as OnePlus’ older tablets, rather than the new design found on this month’s Pad 3. The company didn’t confirm any other details, but over the weekend a full spec sheet for the Pad Lite leaked, claiming it will have an 11-inch LCD display, run on the MediaTek Helio G100 chipset, and launch with an optional cellular version.
Finally, the company has teased a smaller 43mm size for the OnePlus Watch 3, to join the existing 47mm model, along with a new pair of earbuds. The OnePlus Buds 4 will include dual drivers, support Hi-Res audio, and come in green or dark gray.
