The alleged OnePlus Nord 3 has shown up on a benchmark website. Those who discovered it suspect the device will soon be officially announced.
All credits go to MySmartPrice who noticed the OnePlus Nord 3 at Geekbench first. We don't know who ran the benchmark, and the benchmark itself doesn't give much more information.
What we do know is that the Nord 3 has type number CPH2491 and features an octa-core processor running up to 3.05 GHz with 16GB of RAM. That tends to be a bit much for a Nord phone. Although it should be noted that the Nord 2 was also available with up to 12GB of RAM. OnePlus further uses Android 13 with Oxygen OS 13 running on top.
MediaTek Dimensity 9000
The source believes that the OnePlus Nord 3 is a modified version of the already released OnePlus Ace 2V that's available in China. That device uses the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 processor. And indeed, that processor runs at up to 3.05 GHz.
Interestingly, the source believes the device will be announced in a few days, at least in India. Whether the same is true for the rest of the world should become apparent in the coming days.
