Handset maker OnePlus has scheduled a Summer Launch event for July 16, the company announced on Wednesday. Specific devices that will be unveiled remain unknown. According to leaks, OnePlus Nord 4 is expected to make its debut at the OnePlus Summer Launch event. This follows the release pattern of its predecessor, the OnePlus Nord 3, which was introduced in July last year.
OnePlus Buds 3 Pro, Watch 2R May Launch Alongside Nord 4
OnePlus has shared a new teaser image featuring the word "Nord" in silver, further hinting at the launch of Nord 4. The company promised to provide more information in the coming days. The event is said to officially unveil the OnePlus Buds 3 Pro and the OnePlus Watch 2R alongside the Nord 4.
Notably, last year's summer launch event focused on Nord-branded products, including smartphones and true wireless stereo (TWS) earphones.
OnePlus has announced that its Summer Launch Event will take place in Milan, Italy, on July 16. A metal teaser card by the company read: “Some say it’s impossible in the 5G era to make a smartphone with the strength, sophistication and enduring quality of metal. We say…Never Settle.”
Some leaks and rumours suggest that the OnePlus Nord 4 could be a rebranded version of the China-exclusive OnePlus Ace 3V. The China-exclusive model houses a 6.74-inch OLED flat display with a 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, 1,100 nits of HBM brightness and 2160Hz PWM dimming. The OnePlus Ace 3V carries an IP65 rating for dust and splash resistance.
The OnePlus Ace 3V is equipped with a Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 SoC, up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage. This OnePlus device operates on Android 14 OS.
The OnePlus Watch 2R is likely to share the same design as the Chinese variant of the OnePlus Watch 2, featuring an aluminum alloy casing. However, it is expected to come with watered down specifications and features.
