OnePlus founder and CEO Pete Lau
**last month hinted** that the company will soon be unveiling affordable smartphones in India. Lau, however, did not reveal the name and price of the upcoming devices. On Monday, 22 June, Lau
posted a new tweet teasing “new beginnings.” The tweet shows a blue-on-black OnePlus logo.
Lau wrote, “Who’s ready for something new for OnePlus?” [caption id=“attachment_7725901” align=“alignnone” width=“1024”] OnePlus 6T[/caption]

Though the tweet does not provide more details, a report by Android Authority says it is likely that Lau is teasing the launch of the OnePlus Z/OnePlus Nord. OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei has also posted a few tweets on his social media handle using the same hashtag - #NewBeginnings. In one of his tweets, he even said, “It’s time to rock the boat again.”
A report by Android Central mentions that Carl Pei has also posted a tweet that showed a team of people wearing Avicii t-shirts, which suggests the upcoming device might actually be called the OnePlus Nord. The tweet has now been taken down. The device was earlier referred to as the OnePlus 8 Lite but was later said to be called OnePlus Z. OnePlus Z, an upcoming mid-range device, **is expected to come** with a 6.55-inch Super AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate. It is likely to be powered by Snapdragon 765 SoC with 5G support. The device will have 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. The smartphone is expected to have three cameras on the rear - a 64 MP primary camera, a 16 MP (supposedly ultra-wide) lens, and a 2 MP shooter, which can either be a depth sensor or dedicated macro unit. The smartphone might feature a 16 MP front-facing camera in the punch-hole. It is expected to house a 4,300 mAh battery with the company’s 30W Wrap charge. OnePlus Z is expected to launch in India on 10 July and is likely to be priced at Rs 24,990.
