OnePlus recently announced that it will host a summer launch event on July 16. At the event, the brand plans to unveil four new products: the OnePlus Nord 4 smartphone, OnePlus Pad 2, OnePlus Watch 2R, and Nord Buds 3 Pro.
Normally, you'd have to wait until the event date to find out everything about them. But a massive new leak has effectively revealed the features of three of the devices, revealing their specifications. Starting with the wearable, the OnePlus Watch 2R is an odd case because if you look at the reported specifications, you'll notice that it's almost identical to the OnePlus Watch 2.

It has the same Snapdragon W5 and BES2700 dual-chip setup, and the watch face has a 1.43-inch AMOLED display. Battery life is set at 100 hours, and it even has the same ability to monitor a person’s stress levels, sleep, and heart rate. So what’s different with the Watch 2R? Well, not much.
Tipster Ishan Agarwal of X (the platform formerly known as Twitter) claims that the upcoming wearable will be lighter than its predecessor, though he doesn’t mention weight specifically. Water resistance is still rated at IP68, but it can’t withstand the same amount of atmospheric pressure, as the device goes from 5 ATM to 2.5 ATM. Additionally, it will be available in two unique colors: forest green and gunmetal gray.
Smartphone Update
As for the smartphone itself, the OnePlus Nord 4 will likely feature several upgrades over the Nord 3 5G. It will reportedly be powered by the relatively new Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 3 chipset and feature a larger 5,500mAh battery with 100W fast charging. According to Android Headlines, the rear camera array lacks a third lens. But it will retain the 50MP main sensor, 8MP ultra-wide lens, and 16MP selfie camera.
Design-wise, the Nord 4 has flat sides and retains the “fan-favorite” alerts slider on the left. What remains the same, however, is the touchscreen. OnePlus’ upcoming smartphone is said to house a “6.74-inch 1.5K OLED display” with a 120Hz refresh rate.
OnePlus Pad Improvements
The OnePlus Pad 2 features a few notable differences. The tablet will have a larger 12.1-inch IPS LCD touchscreen that can output images with a peak brightness of 900 nits — almost double that of the OnePlus Pad. It will also be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset instead of the MediaTek Dimensity 9000. The renders show that OnePlus may opt for a more subdued color scheme, as the Pad 2 will have a silver paint job instead of Halo Green.
There are some similarities, though. OnePlus keeps the aluminum unibody with curved edges, and its power source remains a 9,510mAh battery that supports 67W SUPERVOOC fast charging.

Some information about the Nords Buds 3 Pro has leaked through the leaks, but not much. Android Headlines claims they will have active noise cancellation and will “launch… in at least two colors: mint and black.” Leaked marketing images show they will have a rounder design compared to the Nord Buds 2. The protruding stick isn’t as square, and the charging case even looks like an egg.
Of course, this information should be taken with a grain of salt. The next OnePlus event will start about a week after this article is published. All of our burning questions will be answered then.
