OnePlus recently launched its Nord CE 3 Lite smartphone in India. It is a very compelling mid-ranger with a 108-megapixel primary camera, a 5,000mAh battery and 67W fast charging support starting at Rs 19,999 (approximately $250; AU$ 365). Since then, the company has not revealed any plans about launching the device in other countries. However, a user on the OnePlus forums has uncovered something that hints the company could rebrand the device and launch it in the US market.

The user suggests that the device could be rebranded as the OnePlus Nord N30 and launched in the US market. If true, then this would make it the successor to the Nord N20, which was launched in the US last year. Compared side by side, the Nord CE 3 Lite features a 120Hz refresh rate and has a higher resolution main camera, but loses on the AMOLED display and the under-display fingerprint sensor.

The OnePlus forums user found this out while checking the archive containing the software build features files. Inside of there, he was looking at the properties of the Nord CE 3 Lite, which included the project ID. He then saw that the same project ID was listed for the Nord N30 for the US market. Moreover, it also had a listing confirming that the phone will be made available in the US market unlocked by OnePlus and in contract with T-Mobile also. There is also an FCC ID for the Nord N30 hidden in the software.
