Yogesh didn’t share an exact timeline, but the OnePlus Nord 2 CE is expected to launch in India in February or March, but not in January. The smartphone would also be launched in European markets. The Nord 2 CE has appeared on the BIS certification, which means its arrival in India is imminent, but it seems like we might have to wait a while.
The OnePlus Nord 2 CE looks quite similar to the Nord CE as per the renders. On the front, it would have a flat AMOLED panel with a punch-hole cutout for the front-facing camera and a front-firing speaker at the top bezel. The volume rocker can be found on the left edge while the power button is placed on the right. The back has a rectangular camera module housing a triple camera setup with a LED flash and OnePlus logo.
