The Nord CE is priced at ₹26,99 for the 8GB+128GB version and ₹28,999 for the 12GB+256GB storage variant.
The OnePlus Nord Buds 2r are priced at ₹2,199 in India.
OnePlus Nord 3 sets itself apart with the unique OnePlus Slider, allowing users to easily switch between loud and silent audio modes using a physical toggle.
Breaking away from its competitors, this phone features a flat display that offers a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, enhancing the overall visual experience. Customers can choose from the sophisticated Tempest Grey or the refreshing Misty Green colour options.
On the rear panel, you'll find a powerful triple camera system, highlighted by the 50MP Sony IMX890 camera sensor with optical image stabilisation (OIS), ensuring sharper and steadier shots.
The 16MP selfie camera is neatly tucked away within a hole-punch cutout on the front, maintaining a clean and immersive display.
Excitingly, the Nord 3 is equipped with 80W fast charging capabilities, enabling quick and convenient recharging of its battery.
Additionally, the OnePlus Nord 3 stands out as the first smartphone in the Nord series to offer a remarkable 16GB RAM configuration.
The upcoming Nord CE 3 is a more affordable variant of the Nord 3, featuring toned-down specifications.
Powering the smartphone is Qualcomm's Snapdragon 782G SoC, accompanied by a robust 5,000mAh battery. Just like its sibling, the Nord CE 3 supports 80W charging, ensuring fast and efficient recharging.
One notable upgrade in the Nord CE 3 is its 120Hz AMOLED display, which surpasses the LCD panel found on the Nord CE 2. This enhancement brings more vibrant colours and a polished viewing experience to users.
Similar to the Nord 3, the Nord CE 3 boasts a triple camera setup on the back. Leading the rear camera system is a powerful 50MP Sony IMX 890 camera sensor with optical image stabilisation (OIS).
OnePlus has introduced an appealing "Aqua Surge" colour option for the Nord CE 3, reminiscent of the teal blue shade found on the original Nord phone.
Finally, let's talk about the Nord Buds 2r, which bear a resemblance to the original Nord Buds with their silicone tips and compact stems.
However, the stems now boast a rounded design, adding an appealing aesthetic touch.
OnePlus has shared that these earbuds are equipped with 12.4mm drivers and incorporate Bluetooth 5.3 technology.
With the accompanying case, the Nord Buds 2r offer an impressive battery life of up to 38 hours.
