OnePlus may soon expand its Nord lineup in India with the launch of the OnePlus Nord CE 6 Lite, which has now surfaced on Geekbench with key specifications. The listing suggests the handset could be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity chipset. The phone is expected to debut alongside the Nord CE 6 as early as next month.

The Geekbench listing indicates that the OnePlus Nord CE 6 Lite may be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 SoC, featuring four cores clocked at 2.60GHz and four cores at 2.00GHz, paired with a Mali-G615 MC2 GPU. The phone is also listed with 8GB of RAM and is expected to run on Android 16.
