OnePlus is all set to release its first entry-level phone, codenamed Clover. The phone is a stark departure for the company, which has thus far focused on offering devices with class-leading performance.
The device codenamed Clover is powered by a Snapdragon 460 and comes with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. It has a MicroSD slot, 3.5mm jack, and a large 6.52-inch HD+ LCD screen. You also get a traditional fingerprint sensor at the back, and a 6000mAh battery with 18W fast charging. On the camera side of things, there's a 13MP main camera with two 2MP auxiliary lenses.
Here's the full list of specs on offer with OnePlus' first entry-level phone:

You obviously don't find water resistance or wireless charging here, but the hardware does seem decent for $200, which is where the device is set to slot in. OnePlus will launch the Clover in global markets, and it will also make its debut in the U.S. — unlike the Nord. We will have more details on the Clover in the coming weeks, but if you're interested in learning about the device, we have you covered:

Review: The Marshall Mode II earbuds deliver great sound, but lack ANC
Marshall's first entry to the true wireless earbud space is a pair of great-sounding earbuds that perfectly exemplify the company's affinity for loud rock and roll. Save for a few omissions like active noise cancellation, the Mode IIs provide some welcome competition to alternatives from Samsung, Jabra, and Apple.
