The new model offers numerous improvements compared to its predecessor, the Nord 2T, including a larger and enhanced display, a more powerful chipset, and a bigger battery.
The latest Nord model features a significantly larger 6.74-inch screen, replacing the 6.43-inch display from the previous year, placing it in a completely different size category.

The camera setup remains unchanged, featuring the same 50MP Sony IMX890 sensor with a size of 1/1.56″ and 1.0µm pixel pitch. It is coupled with an optically-stabilized lens sporting an aperture of f/1.9. Additionally, there is an 8MP ultrawide camera with f/2.3 aperture and a 120-degree field of view, as well as a 2MP macro camera located on the back. The front-facing camera has been upgraded to a 16MP sensor.
OnePlus has enhanced the battery capacity of the Nord 3, increasing it to 5,000 mAh from the previous model’s 4,500 mAh, while still maintaining support for 80W fast charging. The company assures customers of good battery health even after four years of daily charging.
Out of the box, the phone comes with Android 13 based on OxygenOS 13. OnePlus promises to provide three years of software updates, guaranteeing three major Android updates for the Nord 3. In terms of design, the Nord 3 exhibits a fresh and simplified look, featuring flat edges and a flat glass back panel. The device is IP54-certified, offering protection against splashes and dust, and it includes OnePlus’ iconic alert slider on the side.
The Nord 3 will be available in two color options: Misty Green and Tempest Gray. The starting price for the 8GB/128GB configuration is €499, with the 16GB/256GB variant priced €50 higher.
