OnePlus Z aka OnePlus Nord is rumoured to launch on July 10 next month. The phone has leaked on several occasions in the past, and now the OnePlus Z has been spotted on the TUV Rheinland site revealing fast charging details of the device. A TUV Rheinland certification also means that the phone will be comfortable for the eyes with low blue light emission. Separately, OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei is reminiscing its first phone launch – OnePlus One – and hinting at a possible price point of the upcoming OnePlus phone.

The OnePlus Nord aka OnePlus Z has been reportedly spotted on the TUV Rheinland site with the model number AC2003. In this listing, the phone is listed to feature 5V/6A charging speed that translates to 30W fast charging support. Apart from this the listing reveals little else. The TUV Rheinland listing was first spotted by MySmartPrice.

OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei has retweeted an old 2014 OnePlus tweet that introduced the first flagship of the company, the OnePlus One. His retweet comes with the caption ‘It's been a while' hinting at the possibility of a new phone launch of the same calibre as the OnePlus One soon. To recall, the OnePlus One came with impressive specifications at a very aggressive price point that took on companies like Xiaomi. However, its recent strategy has shifted a little with its flagships positioned well to compete with premium devices from Apple and Samsung.

The OnePlus One was launched for $299, and this could mean that the new OnePlus Z aka OnePlus Nord may be priced in the same range as well.
