A new device believed to be part of the expanding OnePlus Nord lineup has surfaced online, offering an early look at what may be the company’s next mid-range smartphone. The listing, spotted on Geekbench, points to a model identified as CPH2805, which is widely associated with the expected OnePlus Nord CE 6.
The appearance follows closely on the heels of the OnePlus Nord 6 launch in India earlier this month. That device arrived with higher-end specifications, including a 165Hz display, a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, and a notably large 7,500mAh battery. The newly listed handset appears to target a different segment, likely positioned below the standard Nord 6 in both price and performance.
Benchmark data offers a limited but useful snapshot. The device is shown running on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 processor, paired with 8GB of RAM. It also appears to operate on Android 16, suggesting that the software is already in a relatively advanced stage of development. In Geekbench testing, the phone recorded a single-core score of 1,101 and a multi-core score of 3,117.
These figures place it below the performance levels observed in the previous-generation Nord CE 5, which used the Dimensity 8350 Apex chipset and scored higher in both single and multi-core tests. The comparison, while not definitive, indicates that the upcoming model may prioritize cost efficiency or battery performance over raw processing power.
The model identification comes from a claim shared by tipster Abhishek Yadav on X, who linked the CPH2805 number to the Nord CE 6. While such identifications are common in early-stage leaks, they remain unofficial until confirmed by the manufacturer.
Earlier reports have suggested that OnePlus plans to introduce both the Nord CE 6 and a Lite variant in May. The CE 6 is expected to draw from the design and specifications of the OnePlus Turbo 6V, a device already released in China. That model includes a 6.78-inch display with a 144Hz refresh rate, a 9,000mAh battery, and a 50-megapixel rear camera.

For now, the Geekbench listing offers a glimpse rather than a complete picture. It reflects a product still in testing, one that may yet change before any formal announcement. Still, it signals that OnePlus is continuing to broaden its mid-range offerings at a steady pace, with more details likely to follow as the reported May launch window approaches.
