Yogesh further reveals that the Nord CE 2 Lite will feature a 3.5mm audio jack but it won’t be OnePlus’ signature alert slider. This should come as a surprise to anyone considering the OnePlus Nord CE also doesn’t have an alert slider.
OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite Specifications and Features
The Nord CE 2 Lite was leaked earlier this month by OnLeaks. As per him, the handset will feature a 6.59-inch Full HD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate. As of now, it’s not clear if the device will offer an AMOLED display or an LCD display. However, since the brand is said to go in favor of a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, there are good chances that we see an LED display on the Nord CE 2 Lite.
The upcoming Nord CE 2 Lite will be powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor and an Adreno 619 GPU. The handset is said to offer a triple-rear camera setup including a 64MP OmniVision primary sensor. Accompanying it might be a 2MP macro sensor and a 2MP depth sensor. For selfies and video calls, the handset might offer a 16MP Sony IMX471 sensor.
The Nord CE 2 Lite will come equipped with a 5000 mAh battery and 33W fast charging support. It will offer a Type-C charging port, and a 3.5mm audio jack. As stated above, the handset will not offer an alert slider. It is said to boot Android 11 based OxygenOS 11.
