OnePlus could potentially launch a new mid-range device soon and it might be coming to Malaysia not long after the unveiling. The long-rumoured Nord 3 5G, the successor to the Nord 2, is said to be a rebranded Ace 2V but with some altered specs.
While nothing has been officially announced by the company yet, we found that the Nord 3 has already been listed on the SIRIM database with the model number CPH2493. Moreover, it has been certified no less than three times by different companies, dating all the way back to April and the most recent one was registered less than two weeks ago.
The phone itself was leaked in its entirety just last month and if it’s accurate, it should be nearly identical to the Ace 2V. It will sport a 6.74-inch AMOLED display with a 2772×1240 resolution, a peak brightness of 1,450 nits, and a 120Hz refresh rate. Additionally, the brand will equip the phone with its signature alert slider.
Internally, it will run on a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, although the configurations could be different when it arrives here. For connectivity, it will support 5G, Wi-Fi 6, NFC, and Bluetooth 5.3 as well as having an IR blaster.

The camera setup is where it will allegedly differ from its Chinese counterpart, with the primary camera using a 50MP sensor instead of 64MP along with an 8MP ultra-wide and a 2MP macro lens. Powering the phone will be a 5,000mAh battery with support for 80W wired fast charging. It will also ship with OxygenOS 13 based on Android 13.
The OnePlus Nord 3 5G could come in at just under the RM2,000 mark if it follows a similar pricing structure as the Nord 2T. Since the company has not made any announcements regarding the device, we’ll have to wait to find out when the device will be available in Malaysia.
