OnePlus is readying a new mid-range phone in the form of the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G. The device is rumored to debut in the first week of April. There have been a few leaks about it in recent weeks. With the launch drawing closer, the handset has now appeared on Geekbench and also picked up a couple of regulatory certifications, revealing a few details in the process.
The Geekbench listing for the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G (model number CPH2465) confirms that the handset is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 695 processor. As usual, it doesn’t explicitly name the chipset, but we have enough details here to paint a telling picture. The Snapdragon 695 is a 6nm processor with two Cortex-A77-based CPU cores clocked at 2.2GHz and six Cortex-A55-based cores clocked at 1.8GHz. It has an integrated Snapdragon X51 5G Modem for sub-6GHz 5G cellular connectivity.
OnePlus will pair the chipset with 8GB of RAM. At least the version that made it to Geekbench has that much RAM amount (via). The company may also offer the phone in other memory configurations. As you’d expect, the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G will run Android 13 out of the box. OnePlus will slap OxygenOS 13 skin on top, though. The early Geekbench run of the phone yielded scores of 688 (single-core test) and 1,796 (multi-core test). The final, market-ready device may do better than that.
OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G picks up regulatory certifications ahead of launch
Ahead of its launch in about two weeks, the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G has picked up regulatory approval in Singapore. A listing on the country’s IMDA (Infocomm Media Development Authority) website tells us the market name of the handset. Spotted by tipster Mukul Sharma, aka Stufflistings, IMDA confirms that the OnePlus CPH2465 is none other than the Nord CE 3 Lite 5G. Separately, a version of the handset (model number CPH2467) has appeared on India’s BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards).
These regulatory certifications are a sign of nearing launch. While OnePlus hasn’t officially confirmed anything yet, rumors are that the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G will debut on April 4. If true, that’s precisely two weeks from today. We may see a few more leaks about the device until then. Early leaks say we’ll get a 6.59-inch LCD screen with 1080p+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, 50MP main camera, and a 5000mAh battery with 33W charging support. Stay tuned for the official launch next month.

So yes, as I tipped earlier, the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G is indeed launching soon. Have spotted the device on the Singapore IMDA certification website. The CPH2467 (said to be the Nord CE 3) has also been BIS certified.
