If you’ve been waiting for the next OnePlus Nord phone, there’s some exciting news. Tech leaker Mukul Sharma (known as @stufflistings) revealed in an X post that the OnePlus Nord 6 is arriving on April 7. Not only that, but two additional phones are also set to arrive in India – the OnePlus Nord CE6 and the OnePlus Nord CE6 Lite – both scheduled for a May launch.
This news might come as a pleasant surprise to many, as the Nord CE Lite lineup hasn’t been consistent in recent years. Many had speculated that the “Lite” variant would no longer be released. However, judging by Mukul’s post, it appears OnePlus is once again poised to place a strong emphasis on the budget and mid-range segments.

OnePlus Nord CE6 and CE6 Lite: Emerging Details
Based on the design of the Nord CE6, it appears that OnePlus aims to deliver a more premium feel this time around. Furthermore, the return of the “Lite” variant promises to expand the range of excellent options available within the budget segment.
According to other rumors, the Nord CE6 may feature an 8000mAh battery (utilizing silicon-carbon technology). Regarding the CE6 Lite, some sources suggest it may feature a 7000mAh battery, a Dimensity 6300 processor, and a 50MP main camera. However, these specifications have not yet been fully confirmed.
Mukul has stated, “Will share more details ASAP,” so it is expected that further information will emerge within the next few days. OnePlus India’s Nord series has consistently offered excellent value for money. If they can once again strike the right balance between pricing and features, this could prove to be great news for many budget-conscious buyers.
Now, the key things to watch are what kind of offers accompany the launch of the Nord 6 on April 7, and just how appealing the CE6 series turns out to be when it arrives in May. If OnePlus aims to maintain a strong foothold in the Indian market, the launch of these three devices will be of significant importance.
