    OnePlus CPH2613 Listed on BIS Before India Launch

    Renders of a mysterious OnePlus smartphone were leaked earlier this month. This device bears model number CPH2613. The aforementioned phone has now been certified by BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards). Hence, we can expect it to launch in India soon. Not much is known about this product, except for its design and cameras. Also, it is anticipated to be a Nord series smartphone.

    Certification by BIS

    The handset will arrive with a flat frame body. It will be fitted with a centered punch-hole display on the front. While the back panel will house a vertically aligned dual-camera system. The power and volume keys will sit on the right side. Whereas, the left edge will not include an alert slider.

    Design and Features

    Finally, the USB Type-C port, speaker grille, and primary microphone hole will be located at the bottom. Whereas, the secondary microphone hole and an IR blaster will be placed at the top. Going by the design characteristics, the device could be either the OnePlus Nord CE 5 or the OnePlus Nord CE 5 Lite. These two phones are tipped to launch in the coming weeks.

    Camera and Specifications

    As per Camera FV-5, one of the two cameras on the handset’s rear will be a 50MP sensor. While on the front, it will sport a 16MP selfie camera. According to previous reports, the Nord CE 5 and Nord CE 5 Lite will be powered by Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 and Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipsets, respectively. These phones were earlier said to be called the Nord CE 4 series as they will succeed the Nord CE 3 lineup. But now it appears just like most Chinese companies, OnePlus will skip the number ‘4’ as it is considered a bad omen in Chinese culture.
