Last year, it was rumoured that the OnePlus Nord SE would be launched in 2021 with a different design compared to the rest of the Nord series devices. However, the same source who gave off the tip at the beginning is now saying that the Nord SE will not be happening after all.

Based on a statement by Twitter user @MaxJmb, it seems that the upcoming OnePlus Nord SE might come with a completely different design compared to the rest of the Nord series. While there’s not much information in regards to the release date, it does give us a rough idea on what to expect when the smartphone is officially available in the global market.

OnePlus is having quite a remarkable result this year that the company no longer just a premium flagship smartphone manufacturer but also entered the mid-range market in July with the OnePlus Nord. Today, a new TUV certification appeared backing up the statement for the new OnePlus 9 series and also the next midrange smartphone OnePlus Nord SE in Q1 2021.

OnePlus no longer just focus on making flagship smartphones but the company also started diversify into the budget market with the OnePlus Nord Series Smartphone back in July. After the launch of the OnePlus Nord, the company is adding in a few more addition such as the Nord N10 5G and also the Nord N100 as well as the Nord SE which is set to be debuting in Q1 next year.
