OnePlus Nord CE 6 Lite Spotted on Geekbench with MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Chipset

OnePlus has been busy reshaping its Android lineup lately. The company launched the OnePlus Nord 6 earlier this month as a follow-up to the Nord 5, and it’s now reportedly working on two more additions to round out the series at lower price points — the Nord CE6 and Nord CE6 Lite. A new OnePlus device, carrying the model number CPH2943 and widely believed to be the Nord CE 6 Lite, has now surfaced on the Geekbench benchmarking platform.

Mysterious CPH2943 could be the Nord CE 6 Lite

The Geekbench listing doesn’t name the device outright, but tipster Abhishek Yadav has identified it on X as the OnePlus Nord CE 6 Lite. On the performance front, the phone posted a single-core score of 1,068 and a multi-core score of 2,953. The listing also reveals a handful of key specs: the device runs Android 16, which will almost certainly ship with OxygenOS 16 on top, and it comes with 8GB of RAM — though additional memory configurations could be available at launch.

The benchmark points to a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 SoC paired with a Mali-G615 MC2 GPU under the hood. That said, Abhishek Yadav notes that the final chipset branding may differ slightly — possibly Dimensity 7400 Max, Extreme, or Pro — though the underlying silicon will remain the same regardless of what OnePlus ends up calling it. The core configuration listed shows four cores running at 2.0GHz and four performance cores clocked at 2.60GHz.

May launch expected in India

Since the marketing name isn’t confirmed in the listing, there’s a slim possibility this could turn out to be the standard Nord CE 6 rather than the Lite variant. Nothing is set in stone at this point. Either way, current rumors suggest both the Nord CE 6 and Nord CE 6 Lite are headed to India sometime in May.

Separately, OnePlus has a more immediate launch on the calendar. The OnePlus Pad 4 is set to debut in India on April 30th, and it’s shaping up to be a powerhouse tablet. It’s powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip and houses a massive 13,380mAh battery. The display is expected to measure 13.2 inches with a 3.4K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate, while charging is handled by 80W fast charging. The tablet may also support an external smart keyboard and stylus accessory.

Honor Power 2 goes official, extreme battery life with an 8,000-nit OLED screen

Recently, Honor has been quite focused about batteries. The company’s new Win series phones, which have remarkably big 10,000mAh batteries, may be familiar to you if you’ve been keeping up with recent releases. These are high-end smartphones featuring Snapdragon 8-series processors.

With its new mid-range phone, Power 2, the business is adopting a similar strategy. Unexpectedly, it also has an even larger battery.

The Power 2’s casing is only 7.98mm thick and contains a slightly larger 10,080mAh battery. In contrast, the iPhone 17 Pro is 8.8mm and does not even have a 5,000mAh battery. At just 216 grams, it is also not very hefty.

In addition to supporting 80W wired charge, the battery also provides 27W reverse charging.

Honor Power 2 Specifications

The phone’s big 6.79-inch OLED LTPS flat display, which has a 1.5K resolution of 2600 x 1200 pixels, is located up front. Additionally, the screen’s 3,840Hz PWM dimming and maximum brightness of 8,000 nits are advertised.

The gadget is powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 8500 Elite processor, which is combined with UFS 4.1 storage and LPDDR5x RAM. Honor says that the Dimensity 8500, a new mobile processor, has more than 2.4 million AnTuTu points.

Additionally, the Power 2 receives a respectable pair of camera configurations. A 5MP ultra-wide camera and a 50MP primary sensor with OIS are located on the back. On the other hand, the front has a 16MP camera. The Power 2’s operating system is Android 16 with a layer of MagicOS 10.

A metal frame, two speakers, an in-display fingerprint scanner, and an exceptionally thorough durability rating with IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K certifications are further highlights. Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 6.0, IR blaster compatibility, and sophisticated satellite location are among the connectivity possibilities.

The Honor Power 2’s 12GB RAM and 256GB storage model costs 2,699 CNY (about $385), while the 512GB model costs 2,999 CNY (around $430). Phantom Black, Snowfield White, and Rising Sun Orange are the possible colors for the phone.

MediaTek hits new records with Dimensity 9400+

The flagship chipset, the Dimensity 9400+, was revealed in April as the replacement for the Dimensity 9400 from the previous year. It is constructed with TSMC’s state-of-the-art 3nm technology and has a powerful CPU and GPU that guarantee seamless operation even under demanding conditions.

To discover how the flagship-grade MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ chipset compares to its rivals, we’ll be examining its benchmark scores here.

Note: The Vivo X200s (powered by MediaTek Dimensity 9400+) underwent the following benchmark testing.

MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ AnTuTu score

The Dimensity 9400+ receives more than 2.9 million points overall on AnTuTu v10. According to the breakdown, the CPU receives 625K points, the GPU receives 1.3 million, the memory receives 509K, and the user interface receives 459K.

In contrast, the Oppo Find X8, which is powered by the Dimensity 9400, has an overall AnTuTu score of about 2.7 million. There isn’t much of a difference between the two AnTuTu scores for the more recent chip.

Dimensity 9400+	Dimensity 9400
AnTuTu score	2,907,358	2,754,825
CPU	625,811	622,149
GPU	1,312,632	1,220,751
Memory	509,570	489,110
UX	459,344	422,815

Dimensity 9400+ Geekbench score

The Dimensity 9400+ receives 2,945 single-core and 9,184 multi-core marks in Geekbench 6. Once more, the Dimensity 9400, which boasts 2,904 single-core and 8,812 multi-core scores, is not a much better processor.

Dimensity 9400+	Dimensity 9400
Single core	2,945	2,904
Multi core	9,184	8,812

MediaTek Dimensity 9400+

Compared to the Dimensity 9400, the Dimensity 9400+ isn’t much better. With the exception of a little boost in CPU speed for the big core, it still makes use of the same set of CPU cores—one Cortex-X925, three Cortex-X4, and four Cortex-A720. The manufacturing node (TSMC’s 4nm) and instruction set (ARMv9.2-A) remain unchanged.

The Mali-G9125 Immortalis MP12, which is based on ARM’s fifth-generation GPU architecture, offers no improvements at all. The MediaTek Frame Rate Converter tool has been improved, though not significantly. In well-known games, the updated version can provide twice the effective frame rate while also increasing power efficiency by up to 40%.

MediaTek would undoubtedly not miss out on the widespread use of agentic AI, as the Dimensity 9400+ offers a 20% quicker agentic AI performance than its predecessor with Speculative Decoding (SpD+). With on-device processing, the chip fully supports the DeepSeek-R1-Distill (1.5B/7B/8B) model.

With the exception of the newer Dimensity 9400+ chip, which increases phone-to-phone Bluetooth connections from 1.5km to 10km, connectivity isn’t getting any major changes. Everything else is the same, so it has a 3GPP Release-17 5G modem, Bluetooth 6.0, and Wi-Fi 7 (peak speed 7.3Gbps).

New OnePlus device coming, 6.83″ screen and Dimensity 9400+ chipset – OnePlus Ace 5V

A new upper-midrange phone with a flagship chipset – a “flagship killer,” if you will – is presently under development by OnePlus. Although the exact name is yet unknown, OnePlus Ace 5V and Ace 5S appear to be the two possibilities. In any case, it will be the replacement for the Ace 3V, which was released in March of last year.

The new gadget is expected to be powered by MediaTek’s forthcoming Dimensity 9400+ SoC and have a 6.83-inch “1.5K” LTPS OLED flat panel with a refresh rate of 120 Hz. It will sport a 50 MP primary camera instead of a telephoto on the rear.

The device will come with OnePlus’ new button, which replaces the Alert Slider, and have a “simple design” on the back, whatever that means. The battery’s capacity has not yet been determined, although it may be 7,500 mAh when plugged at 80W or approximately 7,000 mAh when charging at 100W. OnePlus is presumably still undecided on whether to favor a larger battery or faster charging.

Although the exact date of the phone’s official release is unknown, we believe it will not be more than a few weeks, especially considering that the predecessor is rapidly approaching its one-year anniversary.

Redmi K80 Ultra will come with a huge battery, packing over 7000mAh

When we last heard about it, the Redmi K80 Ultra was expected to have a battery with a minimum capacity of 6,500 milliliters. However, it was back in January. We have a new rumor from China today that makes it much more specific. Without a doubt, the usage of Si/C technology will enable the K80 Ultra to have a 7,400 mAh or 7,500 mAh battery.

According to reports, the phone will be powered by MediaTek’s as-yet-unannounced Dimensity 9400+ SoC and have a 6.8-inch “1.5K” LTPS OLED flat screen with symmetrical bezels on all sides.

The round camera island will be positioned in the upper left corner of the back, and the frame will be made of metal. The Redmi K80 Ultra will enable 100W wired charging. An IP68 grade for water and dust resistance and an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint reader were also suggested in earlier speculations.

The formal introduction of the K80 Ultra may still be a long way off, considering it arrived in July of last year. Stay tuned since there will definitely be fresh rumors regarding it in the interim.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 vs Dimensity 9300

The two main flagship chipsets for Android this year are expected to be MediaTek’s Dimensity 9300 and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Both chipsets seem to deliver comparable performance, but AnTuTu’s most recent results suggest that the Dimensity 9300 in the new Vivo X100 has a slight advantage over the OnePlus 12 and its Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

A closer look at the numbers reveals that the Dimensity 9300 outperforms the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, with the MediaTek chipset scoring higher in the CPU and GPU tests. At first glance, the reverse seems to be true, with the OnePlus 12 ranking first with a total score of 2,188,135. The Vivo X100 comes in second with a score of 2,186,019.

The OnePlus 12 scores 493,187, whereas the Vivo X100 and its Dimensity 9300 register 515,745, indicating a roughly 5% CPU advantage for the MediaTek chipset. The difference is less pronounced in the GPU category, where the Vivo X100 scores 899,989, while the OnePlus 12 scores 887,620. Nevertheless, other Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered devices, such as the iQOO 12 duo, marginally outperform the Vivo X100 in this regard.

Evidently, the Dimensity 9300 edges over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in both the CPU and GPU tests. The OnePlus 12 having the higher AnTuTu total score is completely down to it having superior memory, with the reported 24 GB of RAM earning it a higher score in the memory test than the Vivo X100’s 16 GB of RAM.
