Despite hosting a massive product launch event last week to unveil a high-end smartphone, a professional-grade tablet with a large screen and state-of-the-art SoC, and an improved smartwatch, OnePlus is reportedly planning another summer event to introduce three more exciting devices. According to data engineer and frequent tech leaker Yogesh Brar, the new launch could happen on July 16. While this date should be taken with some skepticism, the rumored devices have been anticipated by multiple sources.
The (Potential) Star of the Show.
The OnePlus Nord 4 5G is expected to be the highlight of the July 16 launch. Following the popular Nord 3, the Nord 4 5G hasn’t seen many credible rumors lately, suggesting a surprise announcement might be imminent. Leaks suggest the Nord 4 5G will feature:
– 6.74-inch OLED display with 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2150 nits peak brightness
– Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 processor
– 5,500mAh battery with 100W fast charging
– 50 + 8MP dual rear cameras
– 16MP front camera
– In-screen fingerprint scanner
– Dual speakers
– Bluetooth 5.4, Wi-Fi, NFC
– Alert slider
– Android 14
– Three guaranteed OS updates and four years of security patches
Priced under 35k rupees (around $420), the Nord 4 5G aims to be a strong contender in the budget 5G phone market, much like the Nord CE 4 Lite.
The Supporting Acts.
Another leaker has corroborated the Nord 4’s specs and provided details on the OnePlus Buds 3 Pro, which are expected to feature:
– 10.4mm woofer and 6mm tweeter dual drivers
– Up to 44 hours of battery life with the charging case
– Up to 49dB active noise cancellation
– Bluetooth 5.3
– LHDC 5.0 support
– IP55 water and dust resistance
– Dolby Atmos
Pricing for the Buds 3 Pro is not yet available, but they are expected to be more affordable than Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 3 Pro and Apple’s AirPods Pro 2, offering great value for money.
Another Potential Star.
A OnePlus Watch 2R, previously rumored as the OnePlus Watch 3, is also expected. Given the recent release of the OnePlus Watch 2, the 2R will likely be a slightly updated version with a large battery, competitive pricing, and some tweaks over the existing model.
