OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite?
In the past, the OnePlus Nord CE3 Lite debuted in China as the OPPO K11x. However, this time around, the K12x has been introduced before the expected release of the CE Lite series phone. Hence, it's plausible that it may hit global markets, including India, under the moniker OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite.
