When the OnePlus Z launches, it will shake up the mid-range smartphone market However, it may not be called the OnePlus Z at launch Based on new leaked information and a recent trademark application, it may actually be called the OnePlus Nord

Both Max J and PhoneArena have mentioned this new name, with the former deciding to play a name guessing game with its followers on Twitter By using "Nord" instead of "Z" as a suffix, OnePlus' budget phone will surely stand out from its rivals The name also avoids confusion with the OnePlus 8

This is not the first time this model has changed its name Originally, the OnePlus Z was known as the OnePlus 8 Lite and was considered closer to the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro launched in April

However, the logic is that OnePlus wants to link the new phone with its first attempt at a budget device, the OnePlus X in 2015 The trademark will apply not only to smartphones, but also to smartwatches, smart TVs, laptops, and other electrical products; the Nord name could be applied to other inexpensive OnePlus products

Another rumor posted by frequent OnePlus leaker Ishan Agarwal says that the company intends to launch a cheaper version of OnePlus TV in India next month Presumably, this will be OnePlus' second foray into budget devices and will also bear the Nord name

The OnePlus Z (or Nord) is also expected in July This lower-priced version will compete with the iPhone SE and the soon-to-be-released Google Pixel 4a, but at a slightly higher price point and with specs to match These specs include a 90 Hz display with a punch-hole selfie camera, a 5G-enabled Snapdragon 765 chipset, a triple rear camera array, and a 4,000 mAh capacity battery with 30W fast charging
