OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite launch date announced, live photo leaked

The OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite 5G (yeah, that’s a mouthful) is officially set for a June 18 launch. The company’s announcement didn’t explicitly name the device but an Amazon page gave it away. The handset has also leaked in a live photo ahead of its debut next week.

OnePlus announces a launch date for the OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite

There have been some contrasting rumors about the OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite’s launch date. Some said the device will go official in June, while others hinted at an early July unveiling. The company has now settled all the debate. OnePlus India took to X to announce that “your all-day entertainment companion” is arriving on June 18 at 7 PM local time. The post didn’t reveal the device’s name, while the accompanying image only showed its corner.

However, Amazon India didn’t hold back. A “Notify Me” microsite published by the retailer features a similar image with “OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite” in the file name. The page title also names the product and reveals that it will be a 5G handset with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. There may be more configurations, of course. One of the color variants will be called Mega Blue. This is all we can take away from these official teasers.

Meanwhile, a live photo of the OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite has leaked to show its rear design. Posted on X by @gadget_bits—which incorrectly predicted a July launch for the phone—the image confirms a dual camera setup on the back, along with dual LED flash. We can also see “50MP ASPH” imprinted below the cameras, confirming a 50MP primary camera with an aspherical (ASPH) lens, a lens that doesn’t have a spherical surface shape.

The leaked design supports rumors that the OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite is a rebranded OPPO K12x launched in March. A Geekbench listing for the phone confirms the Snapdragon 695 chipset with 8GB RAM and Android 14. If these rebrand rumors are accurate, then we are looking at a 6.67-inch OLED display, an under-display fingerprint scanner, a 16MP selfie camera, stereo speakers, and a 5,500mAh battery with 80W fast charging.

Another Nord 4 series device is on the way

The OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite will reportedly be available for pre-order immediately after its unveiling on June 18. General sales may begin on June 24. It’s the second model in the series, following the OnePlus Nord CE4 that launched in April. The company has another model in the pipeline. It is readying the standard OnePlus Nord 4 with no CE (Core Edition) or Lite branding. The device is rumored to go official in July.
