As per 91Mobiles, OnePlus Nord 3 could be priced at ₹32,999 for 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. This is presumably the base variant. The Nord 2, which it succeeds is currently available at ₹29,999 for an 8+128GB model. So, that’s a ₹3,000 difference between the price of the two OnePlus phones.
So, the next obvious question is whether the Nord 3 warrants the ₹3000 price hike over its predecessor. Let’s find out.

Is the OnePlus Nord 3 price hike worth it? Here’s what the rumoured specs tell us
1. OnePlus Nord 3 has an arguably better design though we get looks are subjective. The new design look likens to the Nord CE 3 Lite which makes us think this is going to be the design language for 2023 OnePlus phones.
2. Coming to the front, the Nord 3 could house a bigger 6.74 OLED display with a higher 120Hz refresh rate and a larger 2772×1240 pixel resolution.
3. Unlocking the device, you will be welcomed by Android 13 while the Nord 2 boots on Android 11. Nord 3 is expected to bring a 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC, which will be a high-end chipset.

4. Although most of the camera setup is supposedly the same as before (with a 50MP primary camera, an 8MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro module), the front camera could see a smaller 16MP sensor. Albeit smaller, only time can tell how these cameras fare in real-world scenarios.
5. Even the battery powering all of these is expected to be a larger 5000mAh cell coupled with a faster 80W charging support.
We should have more concrete details in the days leading up to the launch.
