OnePlus is preparing to launch its Nord CE6 smartphone, with a leaked image showing the device for the first time. The company will release the Nord CE6 alongside the Nord 6 on April 7, filling a gap in their mid-range lineup. The design appears to follow recent trends from OnePlus and sister brand Oppo, maintaining a familiar aesthetic for consumers.

A leak reveals OnePlus will also introduce the Nord CE6 Lite in May, a model that fills the Lite category after skipping the CE5 Lite. This comes nearly a year after the last CE Lite device, the CE4 Lite from 2024. The return of the Lite series suggests OnePlus is expanding its mid-range market presence in a competitive segment.

The leaked image shows the Nord CE6 adopts a design language consistent with recent OnePlus and Oppo releases. While specifications remain undisclosed, the launch of both the CE6 and CE6 Lite indicates OnePlus is committing to a comprehensive mid-range strategy for 2024, targeting consumers seeking affordable premium experiences without flagship price tags.
