It is paired with up to 12GB LPDDR4X RAM, up to 256GB UFS 3.1 internal storage, and a large 5,000mAh battery capacity. The other upgrade is it is now using OPPO's faster USB-C 80W SUPERVOOC fast charging tech.

For cameras, OnePlus even included the 50MP f/1.8 Sony IMX890 main shooter with Multi Autofocus, OIS, and EIS. This is the same primary camera found on the Nord 3 and other higher-end smartphones.

The rest of the specs

The OnePlus Nord CE 3 also arrived with stereo speakers for a better listening experience, an X-axis linear motor, dual nano SIM slots, and  Android 13 OS with the clean and reliable OxygenOS 13.1 skin.
