OnePlus Nord CE 4 Lite 5G NBTC Listing Sparks Confusion
OnePlus is developing a new smartphone named the Nord CE 4 Lite 5G, which will follow the popular Nord CE 3 Lite 5G. The device has recently been spotted on Thailand’s NBTC certification database after previously appearing on BIS, TDRA certification, and the Bluetooth SIG database.
