OnePlus has recently been a leaky ship, with the OnePlus 10 Pro leaking months before its official release. However, it's not all about the flagships, as the OnePlus Nord N20 5G is the latest OnePlus phone to leak, and it comes with a design refresh. The boxy design of the iPhone 13 was almost certainly an inspiration for this smartphone, which has a flat display, a flat back, and flat sides.
These images were obtained through the efforts of @OnLeaks and 91Mobiles. OnLeaks also provided the publication with key specifications and dimensions. It will most likely have a 6.43-inch AMOLED display, an in-display fingerprint sensor, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC, and a triple camera array on the back. The camera array is said to consist of a 48MP primary sensor and two 2MP cameras. The front-facing camera is said to have a resolution of 16MP. Finally, the dimensions of the phone are stated to be 159.8 x 73.1 x 7.7mm (9.6mm thickness including camera protrusion).
And now comes your very first and early look at the #OnePlusNordN20 5G! (360° video + stunning 5K renders + dimensions + key specs)

Qualcomm's Snapdragon 695 is a mid-range chipset that was released recently. It's a step up from Qualcomm's Snapdragon 690, which was unveiled in June of last year. According to Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 695 5G supports both mmWave and sub-6GHz 5G, has up to 30% faster graphics rendering, and 15% better CPU performance than its predecessor. The SoC is built around Qualcomm's Kryo 660 CPU cores (up to 2.2GHz) and an Adreno 619 GPU.
Last year, the OnePlus Nord N10 5G was also a mid-range smartphone, packing the Snapdragon 690 but with a larger display. OnLeaks also told 91Mobiles that, while he's fairly certain the phone is the OnePlus Nord N20 5G, there's a chance it's the OnePlus Nord CE2 5G instead. The Nord N10 was released in October of last year, so we're likely to see some new mid-range smartphones from the company soon.
