Moreover, OnePlus Ivan will ship with Android 12-based OxygenOS 12. However, please remember that the upcoming unified OS from OnePlus and OPPO is expected to debut on the OnePlus 10 series.

In terms of camera, the OnePlus Ivan phone may feature a 64-megapixel primary OmniVision rear camera, accompanied by an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens and a 2-megapixel macro lens. At the front, the phone gets a 16-megapixel camera for selfies and video calls. Lastly, the handset packs a 4,500mAh battery that supports 65W fast charging.
From the leaks, it is possible that Nord 2 CE will not offer an alert slider similar to the OnePlus Nord CE. OnePlus Ivan will feature a 3.5mm audio jack and a stereo speaker setup. The frame is made out of plastic, with Gorilla Glass protecting the display and rear panel. We can also expect a thick chin bezel and a corner punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera.
