OnePlus is working on a “more affordable smartphone product line,” earlier known as One Plus Z and now termed ‘Nord’ has been confirmed by CEO Pete Lau.
OnePlus Nord name for the company’s upcoming affordable phone seems to have received an official confirmation. While the upcoming OnePlus phone was speculated to debut as either the OnePlus Z or OnePlus Nord until now, the company on Wednesday posted an image on its newly created Instagram account that indicated its name as “Nord”.
The new development comes just a day OnePlus confirmed the July launch of the new smartphone. In addition to the revelation made on Instagram, a teaser page for the new OnePlus phone has emerged on Amazon India website.
The Instagram post, which has since deleted and replaced, has been shared by some Twitter users. It included the image that features OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei behind an invite that clearly shows the “Nord” name. The image also shows a card with a text that reads, “Here’s to the first 100.” This suggests that OnePlus may offer something special to the first 100 buyers of the new smartphone.
OnePlus’ recent post also carried three other images that don’t provide any further details about the new smartphone. Those images, instead, give a glimpse at the initial OnePlus team that started its journey in the smartphone world back in December 2013. Interestingly, OnePlus replaced the original post with a fresh one that still shows the three photos showing off its original team.
Later on Tuesday, the company posted a morse code message on Instagram that confirmed it will announce the new product(s) in July. It seems other hints will follow.
