Anticipation is building for OnePlus’s latest addition to its affordable smartphone lineup set for release in 2024. Recent leaks suggest significant improvements in the new model which is positioned below the high-end OnePlus 12R but shares some of its impressive specs. Most notably, the new smartphone is expected to feature a large 5,550mAh battery paired with 100W wired charging capabilities, mirroring the current flagship OnePlus 12.
The source of these speculations comes from a discovered device with the model number PJF110, which is closely associated with OnePlus’s product range. Despite initial assumptions based on a listed 2,680mAh battery capacity, it’s suggested that this could refer to a dual-cell battery, which would offer a total capacity of 5,360mAh, potentially marketed at the higher 5,550mAh.
There is further speculation that the device, possibly named the OnePlus Ace 3V, may include a Snapdragon 7-series chipset and feature a high-quality “1.5K 8T LTPO” display, which bears resemblance to the one found on the OnePlus 12R.
However, the upcoming device may not only bring internal upgrades but also a fresh take on industrial design. Leaked live images imply a significant revision of the camera module, resembling the design of the Meizu 21 with a distinct ring flash encircled by a raised platform accessorized with three camera rings—a departure from previous OnePlus designs.
Leaks also suggest that potential CE and CE Lite versions of the smartphone will share this novel aesthetic and could possibly reintroduce the 3.5mm headphone jack, a feature often requested by users.
As OnePlus steers towards a new direction in the design and features of its Nord series, the 2024 installment appears set to offer a compelling blend of power and style. With these enhancements and a refreshed look, the OnePlus Nord 5-Series could stir excitement and deliver a unique smartphone experience.
For those interested in the current Nord offerings, the OnePlus Nord N30 5G is available for purchase.
The new OnePlus Nord 5-Series seems poised to make a notable impact when it arrives, and tech enthusiasts are eager to see how these rumored specifications and design changes will manifest in the final product.
