New OnePlus Nord series teased, early April launch tipped

Update: OnePlus has officially started teasing its next Nord series through its X handle in India. While its landing page has also gone live on its official website, it is yet to confirm the moniker. These developments suggest that the arrival of the alleged Nord 6 series may not be far away.

Original story follows…

OnePlus is reportedly working on the Nord 6 series for the Indian market. A new leak by tipster Yogesh Brar has revealed the Nord 6 launch timeframe. At the same time, a new OnePlus device that’s believed to be the Nord CE 6 has received approval from the BIS authority, indicating that it could also be heading to India soon.

OnePlus Nord 6, Nord CE 6 expected to launch soon

Back in January, OnePlus unveiled the OnePlus Turbo 6 and Turbo 6V in China. Rumours are rife that these devices may get rebranded as the Nord 6 and Nord 6V in India and other markets.

According to the tipster mentioned above, the Nord 6 will debut in India in early April. He added that it will have the same specs as the Turbo 6 but will carry an increased price, probably because of rising memory costs.

In a recent development, a new OnePlus phone with model number CPH2805 has been approved by India’s BIS. To recall, the device surfaced in a live shot earlier this year along with a few of its specs. The leaked specifications suggested that it could be a rebranded version of the OnePlus Turbo 6V.

Since the specs of the phone are somewhat similar to the Turbo 6, it is likely that it may debut as a Nord 6 series phone globally. It remains to be seen whether it will be called the Nord 6 CE or Nord 6V or something else.
