OnePlus Nord CE 6 preview shown: here it is in a leaked shot

The new OnePlus Nord 6 will arrive on April 7, and according to what has emerged so far it will be the only model present at the event. However, that does not mean that other additions to the range are not planned: according to the latest rumors, in reality two more phones would be on the way. OnePlus Nord CE 6 and Nord CE 6 Lite should make an appearance shortly after: here’s what we know so far and there is also a first leaked image.

OnePlus Nord CE 6 and Nord CE 6 Lite on the way, according to leaks: what to expect from the upcoming mid-range

A well-known Indian insider has revealed that the two Nord smartphones will be announced in May (at least for India). Additionally the first live shot shows the alleged design of OnePlus Nord CE 6, characterized by a look very different from the previous Nord CE 5 and certainly much closer to the aesthetics of the latest flagship generation.

Additionally the series would also see the return of a Lite model: the latest entry of the family dates back to 2024 with Nord CE 4 Lite.

Regarding the specifications, Nord 6 (coming in April) and Nord CE 6 (expected in May) would be the Western rebrands of the Chinese devices OnePlus Turbo 6 and Turbo 6V. The only difference would be the CE model, equipped with a battery of 8,000 mAh instead of 9,000 mAh like the Chinese twin.

The mystery remains of OnePlus Nord CE 6 Lite: at the moment there are no counterparts launched in China, so it could be an unreleased model designed specifically for global markets.
