OnePlus is launching the OnePlus Nord 3 in India and globally today, a full-fledged successor to the OnePlus Nord 2 which came out in July 2021. A OnePlus Nord 2T was launched last year but fans were not very happy with the lack of major upgrades. Things might change this year, though, with two new smartphone offerings.
The OnePlus Nord CE 3, which will tag along with the Nord 3, is expected to be a relatively more affordable offering for those who do not wish to spend on the heavy-specced latter option. The brand will also launch two new audio products in India: the OnePlus Nords Buds 2R and OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2 ANC. Here’s everything about the OnePlus launch event, including how to watch it live.

OnePlus Nord 3 price in India (leaked), Nord CE 3 expected range
Going by an earlier report, the OnePlus Nord 3 might start at Rs 32,999 for the 8GB RAM and 128GB storage variant. An upgrade to a massive 16GB RAM variant with 256GB internal storage should set you back by Rs 36,999. Considering earlier trends, the phone’s younger sibling, OnePlus Nord CE 3, should be available for around Rs 25,000 in the country.
While that is all when we get today when it comes to smartphones, OnePlus will launch another affordable TWS earbud in the market. OnePlus Nord Buds 2R is expected to be priced around Rs 2,299 which is slightly lower than the Rs 2,999 price tag that OnePlus Nord Buds 2 retails at. This price cut is enabled by a possible lack of ANC in the upcoming earphones.
