The OnePlus Nord CE was not the true successor to the original OnePlus Nord. That would be the upcoming OnePlus Nord 2. The smartphone, widely expected to launch towards the end of this month, is set to be the brand’s first smartphone to run on a non-Qualcomm chipset.
The MediaTek Dimensity 1200-bearing device has not been officially confirmed by OnePlus yet, but has been in enough rumours and leaks to let us know that a launch is inevitable. Other expected specifications include a 6.45-inch HD+ AMOLED screen with support for 90Hz, 4,500mAh battery, and a 50MP main camera.
Poco F3 GT
The Poco F3 GT is one of the most awaited devices this year for gamers on a budget. Expected to be a rebranded Redmi K40 Gaming Edition, the phone is set to bring many gaming oriented features and specifications at an affordable price. These include the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 and two retractable shoulder keys.
Poco has teased the phone on its Twitter handle in the past and the device is expected to officially drop this month. Other expected features include a 6.7-inch FHD+ OLED display with a 64MP main camera, a 5,065W battery and 67W fast charging.

Xiaomi Managing Director Manu Kumar Jain earlier hinted at the arrival of a new Redmi smartphone in a tweet. While Xiaomi didn’t mention the name of the upcoming phone, the teaser suggests that it will be a successor to the Redmi 9. Redmi India has also published a short video, saying “Redmi Revolution” along with the hashtag “#10on10” which gives it away.
Not a lot is known about the Redmi 10 series in terms of specifications yet. However, we expect the series to include multiple variants, which should be priced around the Rs 8,000 to Rs 10,000 segment.
Oppo Reno 6 Series
The Oppo Reno 6 series will include an Reno 6 5G and a Reno 6 Pro 5G. The phones are set to feature 6.43-inch AMOLED FHD+ screens with a 90Hz refresh rate. The company has also confirmed that the device will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1200.
