New Delhi: OnePlus is set to launch a new model in the Nord series next week. The OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G is slated to be officially unveiled in India on February 17 as a mid-range smartphone. The handset maker has teased the design of the upcoming Nord CE 2 5G ahead of the launch and according to that the device is going to sport a punch-hole display and a triple camera set-up at the rear.
