The OnePlus Z is now the OnePlus Nord

We’ve known that OnePlus has been working on a more affordable phone for a while now, and leaks paint the picture of a rather compelling mid-range offering.

But the new phone’s name has been somewhat of a mystery, with some people calling it the OnePlus Z and others more recently saying it’s the OnePlus Nord. Now, a prematurely published Instagram post may have just revealed the answer.

OnePlus briefly posted an image on its private OnePlusLiteZThing Instagram account, showing a card with Nord branding. Thankfully, the post was captured by Twitter users, and can be seen below.

The words on the card are tough to make out, but it seems like the first line reads “your early support for OnePlus Nord means a lot.” The card seems to conclude with a thank you to the recipient.

Nevertheless, this post confirms that the new mid-range OnePlus phone or the entire series will indeed be called OnePlus Nord. We’re expecting more teases in the lead-up to the launch, with the firm already dishing out a July launch window.

Other notable OnePlus Nord rumors include a Snapdragon 765 series chipset, 90Hz screen, and quad rear cameras. And with Realme, Xiaomi, and Samsung all offering competitively priced mid-range phones in 2020, the pressure will be on OnePlus to deliver on pricing too.
