Upcoming Launch of OnePlus Gaming Smartphone and New Nord Series in India
OnePlus is preparing to unveiled their latest gaming-centric smartphone, the Ace 6 Ultra, on April 28 in China, promising high-end features tailored for gamers. Alongside, they are also set to introduce two new phones to the Indian market under the Nord series, named the Nord CE6 and Nord CE6 Lite. These releases create a lot of buzz among fans and tech enthusiasts alike.
Design and Display Features
The Nord CE6 boasts a unique square-shaped camera module that looks similar to the one on the standard Nord 6. The phone is confirmed to come with a 6.43-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1.5K, and a smooth 144Hz refresh rate, providing vibrant visuals with sharp clarity. It can support a peak brightness of up to 1,800 nits, making it suitable for outdoor use, and offers flicker-free viewing with 3,840Hz PWM dimming technology.
Performance and Battery Capabilities
Regarding performance, the device will be equipped with the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset, paired with OnePlus’s own Touch Reflex Chip for better touch response and gaming experience. Recent Geekbench listings have confirmed its CPU performance, hinting at a strong performance profile for demanding tasks.
Additionally, the phone packs a sizable 8,000mAh battery, which is notably larger than many flagship options such as the OnePlus 15 that has a 7,300mAh cell. It supports 27W reverse wired charging, making it easier to share power with other devices. For dust and water resistance, the device boasts multiple IP ratings: IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K, emphasizing its durability under various conditions.
Budget-Friendly Variant and Indian Launch
The Nord CE6 Lite will serve as a more budget-friendly version of the main Nord CE6, offering competitive features at a lower price point. This model is confirmed to feature the same 144Hz display, but uses MediaTek’s Dimensity 7400 Apex chipset, which has scored over 1.03 million points on AnTuTu benchmarks. It will include a battery capacity of 7,000mAh, aimed at long-lasting usage.
Both the Nord CE6 and the Lite are scheduled to launch in India on May 7, although specific pricing details have not yet been revealed. To give an idea, the previous member of this series, the Nord CE5, debuted at INR 24,999, roughly equivalent to $268, providing a benchmark for what to expect price-wise for these upcoming models.
