OnePlus Nord 2 CE 5G could be making its debut in the Indian market soon. The details are yet to be officially announced by the Chinese smartphone maker, but ahead of it, the latest OnePlus handset has been allegedly spotted on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) website, hinting that it may launch in the country soon. OnePlus Nord 2 CE 5G, codenamed Ivan, is said to debut as a successor to the OnePlus Nord CE which went official in June this year.
