The OnePlus Nord's successor — and the get-go Nord to come to the U.S. — may have simply leaked.

A listing on Geekbench five (via Slashleaks user Leakspinner) has been discovered for a previously unknown phone named the OnePlus Clover. While Clover is probably just a codename rather than the last device'southward name, this is at to the lowest degree a phone we've not seen evidence of before.

Geekbench doesn't record every important spec of a phone, but information technology does tell us that the Clover has a Snapdragon 660 chipset and 4GB RAM. We'd imagine the actual chipset will be the more mod Snapdragon 665 though, since the 660 came out in 2017.

With that in mind, the phone sounds like a new competitor in the all-time inexpensive phones race, with an identical chipset to the TCL 10L, and the same chipset and RAM as the Moto K Power. Both of these phones cost around $250, which gives the states a rough idea of how the Clover could fit into the OnePlus range.

Today's OnePlus Nord comes with a Snapdragon 765G chipset, 8GB or 12GB of RAM, and a price of roughly $500 when converted from pound sterling or euros. That makes it more of a rival for our favorite mid-range phones: the Google Pixel 4a, and the iPhone SE.

The headline criterion scores for the Clover support this thought. With 336 points in the single core test and 1495 in the multicore exam, this compares poorly to the operation of the Pixel 4a's Snapdragon 730 chip, which scored 1,647 on the multicore exam. It's even worse compared to the iPhone SE's mighty A13 Bionic chip, which managed 3,226 on the same test. However the Clover is roughly in line with the 1,387 of the Moto Thousand Power'southward multicore score, or the TCL 10L's 1,354.

The final noticeable point from the Geekbench listing is that the device was running Android ten. We might accept expected OnePlus to test their new phone with Android xi. Nonetheless, OxygenOS 10.5 is even so a nifty Android skin if that'south what the Clover ends up with.

One affair we can pretty much guarantee is that this phone won't be the OnePlus 8T. This will be the refreshed version of the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus eight Pro that launched earlier this year, and is expected to use the same Snapdragon 865 chipset, or the improved 865 Plus version, with either 8GB or 12GB RAM.

The OnePlus Nord, while a strong rival to the Pixel 4a and iPhone SE, particularly, isn't currently bachelor in the U.S. There have been suggestions that OnePlus will bring the Nord, or at least a similar non-flagship device, to the American marketplace, which is why we doubtable that the Clover volition turn out to be OnePlus' budget option for the U.S.
