OnePlus has seen success with its line of affordable flagships. Now, the company is rumored to be working on a new phone called the OnePlus Nord 3. This new device looks to be positioned as a mid-range option and could be a great choice for budget-minded consumers. The phone is expected to have a 6.7-inch display and four rear camera setups. It may also come with a MediaTek Dimensity 8100 processor, up to 12GB of RAM, and a 4,500mAh battery. Here is what we know about and what we expect for OnePlus Nord 3. Leaks and Rumors of OnePlus Nord 3 Design The OnePlus 3 is expected to have a sleek design like the Nord 2. It may build solidly with a robust plastic frame. The phone may also come with Gorilla Glass 5 panels. While the Nord 2 has 3 cameras, the new version may offer four rear cameras in the rear panel. The Nord 3 may follow a similar design to the previous version. However, we may see some improvements inspired by OnePlus Nord CE 2. OnePlus Nord 2 was available with a Pac-Man edition that had dot-patterned in the rear that also glowed in the dark. So, Nord 3 may come with such design variation to grab the attention.

However, Nord 3 may not offer a 3.5 mm headphone jack option. But it will surely offer a Bluetooth headset option. Higher display refresh rate Display refresh rate is the number of times per second a smartphone's display updates. In years past, 60Hz (60 times per second) was the standard, but devices with higher refresh rates are becoming more common. Some phones even support refresh rates of up to 144Hz. Currently, most of the budget and mid-range to premium phones come with at least a 120Hz refresh rate. However, the OnePlus Nord series have been stuck to 90Hz. So, OnePlus Nord 3 is expected to have at least a 120Hz refresh rate to outrank the competitors. When a refresh rate is higher, the motion looks smoother, which is beneficial for streaming content or playing games. This makes it easier to swipe between menus and home pages. Hence, Nord 3 might be faster than Nord 3 if they work on the refresh rate.

The Nord series could benefit from this partnership as well, with improved photography features. OnePlus' 10 camera modes include a Hasselblad Pro Mode, which is similar to the Pro Mode on your standard smartphone camera. However, this mode captures in a higher color profile and saves in a version of RAW that takes up less space. Besides, there is another more Pro equivalent that allows changing settings when you are shooting. None of the Nord series phones come with these features. And it is expected that Nord 3 may comply with these features. Although the Nord 3's mid-range specs may not allow for flashy or intensive camera effects from Hasselblad, the phone may include some competent features that set it apart from similarly priced competitors. Read Samsung Galaxy M23: Is it worth waiting for this device? Nord 3 may offer a 50 MP primary camera along with an 8 MP ultra-wide-angle camera. A macro camera will definitely be there and it could be 2 MP. It's possible that the main 50 MP camera could be the same as the one found on the OnePlus 9 Pro, which uses the Sony IMX766 sensor. The front-facing selfie camera is expected to come with 32 MP. Battery and charging According to the latest AndroidCentral report, the upcoming Nord 3 will come with 150W fast charging. This will make it one of the fastest-charging smartphones on the market. According to several reports, Nord 3 will have a 4,500mAh battery in it. No app throttling OnePlus was in the news in mid-2021 when users discovered that its OxygenOS software throttled popular apps. It means that the phone puts restrictions on some specific apps about using the processing power. But OnePlus issued a statement saying that the throttling was intended to improve overall system performance, but many users were not satisfied with this explanation.

Hence, the Nord 3 will certainly get rid of the hidden throttling feature. Range of colors The OnePlus Nord 2 was available in blue, gray, or green, but not all versions are available in all regions. For example, Indians get to use the green color while the blue was more accessible for the UK users with certain memory configurations. OnePlus Nord 3 may improve upon their product lineup by embracing more color, which Samsung did very successfully with the Galaxy S20 FE. It offers a wide range of vibrant colors. So, rumors suggest that we may get to see different color variants for this mid-range phone.

Further, there is a possibility that Nord 3 will feature MediaTek Dimensity 8100 processor with four Cortex-A78 cores. In addition to that, the chipset may support LDDR5 RAM as well as UFS 3.1 storage. The internal memory may offer up to 256GB. Final Words The OnePlus Nord 3 is expected to get released in the second quarter of 2022. So far, nothing has been confirmed about the OnePlus Nord 3. The company has not released any information and has no pictures or specs. However, if the OnePlus Nord 3 is anything like its predecessors, it will definitely be worth the wait. With its powerful processor and large storage capacity, it could be one of the best mid-range phones on the market. Read Walton Primo H10 Review: Affordable Smartphone with Moderate Features

The OnePlus Nord had been the company's first attempt to enter the mid-range smartphone market. After a number of disappointing follow-ups at the low-budget market, OnePlus is trying to come back with another mid-range handset OnePlus Nord 2 5G.  At present, the market of budget-friendly smartphones has become an arena where every manufacture wants to win.

Nord 2 comes in three distinct colors- Blue Haze, Grey Sierra, and Green-Wood. Read: OnePlus Nord CE Review: Know the Pros and Cons? Display OnePlus has used the usual 90Hz Super AMOLED display that it has used in other Nord phones. It features 1,080 x 2,400 resolution, an aspect ratio of 20:9, and a single punch-hole screen. When it comes to the viewing experience, the Nord 2 adds a few special spices to its reputed video showing quality. The AI-based resolution boost will improve the resolution of low-quality movies, while the AI color booster polishes the colors. Nord 2 has 6.43-inch The display falls short in brightness level. That is why in broad daylight, users will have to use the phone with a full brightness level. Apart from it, the AMOLED display is up to the mark and provides standard viewing angles.

The primary camera is a 50MP (f/1.9) sensor with comparatively larger pixels, and the optical picture stabilization system improves pictures' quality when taken in low light and with shaky hands. The colors projected by the camera are bright yet realistic. After taking pictures in daylight, users can feel the elegance and preciseness OnePlus has attributed to the cameras. Unlike many other hyped lenses, cameras of the Nord 2 keep saturation level at the minimum level and maintains a balanced and pronounced picture quality. Read: OnePlus 9 Pro Full Review: Does it offer value for money? The Nord 2 features an 8MP (f/2.3) ultra-wide camera, which is adequate but not the finest on the market. However, the lens does not create much noise or distortion, which is quite different from lenses in many mid-range phones.  A 2MP (f/2.4) monochrome camera is also there, which is more efficient in supporting the other two lenses than doing something on its own. However, it works well as a stand-alone. Using the rear camera you can shoot maximum 4k videos at 30fps. It can also capture 1080p footage at 30fps, 60pfs and 240fps. Gyro-EIS facility has been provided. Front Camera The front-facing selfie camera features a 32MP (f/2.5) lens and uses far more sophisticated facial recognition and details than prior OnePlus smartphones. Facial features are considerably more defined, and skin tones are properly matched.
