OnePlus Nord SE is designed in partnership with designer Joshua Vides. The phone is also to have just some aesthetical changes over the OnePlus Nord and no significant hardware upgrades. This suggests it will have a 6.4-inch 90Hz AMOLED display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G SoC, and a 4,115mAh battery.

A recent report, however, mentioned that the OnePlus Nord SE would include improved specifications, such as a larger 4,500mAh battery and support for 65W fast charging, over the existing OnePlus Nord.
