OnePlus plans to launch the OnePlus Nord CE 3 in India this March, and it seems that there are a few more Nord-branded phones in the pipeline awaiting their official release.

Sharma shared an image on Twitter claiming to have spotted the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G moniker on the OnePlus India website. Unfortunately, there are no details available on the device’s specifications. However, the moniker suggests that it will follow in the footsteps of the OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G, which was released in April 2022.
The OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G was launched as a rebranded version of the Realme V25, which was only available in the Chinese market. As a result, it is possible that the Nord CE 3 Lite could also be a rebadged version of an Oppo or Realme phone.
The Nord CE 3, which is scheduled to debut in March in India, is expected to feature a 6.7-inch IPS LCD FHD+ 120Hz display, Snapdragon 695 chipset, up to 12 GB of LPDDR4x RAM, up to 256 GB of UFS 2.2 storage, and a 5,000mAh battery with 67W fast charging. It may also include a 16-megapixel front camera and a 108-megapixel (main) + 2-megapixel (macro) + 2-megapixel (depth) triple camera unit. The device will run on OxygenOS 13-based Android 13 OS.
On March 7, OnePlus is scheduled to launch the OnePlus Ace 2V, which will feature the Dimensity 9000 SoC in China. Rumors suggest that the device may be rebranded as the OnePlus Nord 3 in the Indian market.
