Last year, OnePlus launched its mid-range, the OnePlus Nord N30 5G, offering decent specs at a price under $300. Now, indications suggest that OnePlus is gearing up to introduce another smartphone in its Nord N series. Reports from MySmartPrice reveal that the OnePlus Nord N30 SE has been spotted in the Geekbench benchmark database. According to the information, the Nord N30 SE packs an octa-core processor with a 2+6 core configuration. The two robust cores start at 2.20 GHz, while the more efficient six run at 2.0 GHz. This suggests that the upcoming smartphone could roll with a MediaTek Dimensity 6020 under the hood.

The MediaTek Dimensity 6020 is a mid-range 5G system-on-a-chip (SoC). It is generally less expensive than the Snapdragon 695, found in its sibling, the Nord N30 5G, and is considered to offer better performance for demanding tasks. However, the Snapdragon 695 has a higher clock speed, which means it can provide a slightly smoother user experience.

The MediaTek Dimensity 6020 is considered a fairly affordable SoC. Smartphones equipped with the Dimensity 6020 typically start at around $200 or less. So it’s a safe bet that the upcoming OnePlus Nord N30 SE could also land in this wallet-friendly price range.

Geekbench listing for the OnePlus Nord N30 SE reveals the 4GB RAM configuration. In comparison, its sibling, the Nord N30 5G, started with a more powerful 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage space.

According to the benchmark listing, the upcoming Nord N30 SE will run on Android 13 directly, not the latest Android 14. Additionally, previous details from the Nord N30 SE TDRA listing confirm that the device will have a 4880 mAh battery and will support 33W fast power supply.

Overall, the OnePlus Nord N30 SE could be a good option for budget-conscious users who are looking for a smartphone that can handle daily tasks without breaking the bank.
