It's no secret that OnePlus is set to launch the Nord CE 5G in India on June 10 at the company's Summer Launch Event. Ahead of the launch, the company plans to share teasers to keep up the hype about the phone. 

As part of this, OnePlus India has shared a new teaser through its website that reveals the phone will come with a "sleek and streamlined" design. But that's not it. Amazon has also revealed key details about the phone, including its RAM, storage, and colour options. This information was revealed by the company as part of its daily Amazon Quiz promotion.

As per the quiz, the OnePlus Nord CE 5G will be offered in an 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage variant. However, speculation suggests that this is only one of the variants and that there could be other variants as well. While there is no confirmation about this, the expectation is that the top-end OnePlus Nord CE 5G is likely to offer 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. The quiz also revealed that the OnePlus smartphone will be offered in a Charcoal Ink colour. 

The OnePlus Nord CE is a follow-up to the original Nord that was launched in July last year. Ahead of the launch, some details about the phone have emerged online. According to a report by Android Central that cites insider sources, the OnePlus Nord CE 5G is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G processor, which we have seen on phones such as the Mi 10i, Motorola Moto G 5G, and more. It is also possible that the Nord CE could be priced a bit lower than the original Nord, which started at Rs 24,999.

Further, the report states that the OnePlus Nord CE 5G features the same display as the original Nord. It is a 6.43-inch AMOLED display with support for a 90Hz refresh rate. As for the cameras, the phone will have a triple-camera stack that is headlined by a 64MP camera. For selfies, the device is tipped sport a 16MP unit. The sources also suggest that the design of the phone will be refreshed to make it more in line with the OnePlus 9 series, especially that vertical camera housing.
