The original Nord was launched almost a year ago, and now the brand is gearing up to launch the Nord successor on July 22. Although we are still a week away, the brand and the leaks have revealed plenty of information. It’s already confirmed that OnePlus Nord 2 will ship with Mediatek’s Flagship Dimensity 1200 AI chipset. This will be accompanied by a 6.43-inch AMOLED display with support for a 90Hz high refresh rate.

OnePlus next week looks set to launch its new Nord 2 5G smartphone with enhanced AI and AR features.

OnePlus also tweeted about the primary camera detailing that it will feature a 50-megapixel Sony IMX 766 primary sensor. Also, the device will come with OxygenOS 11 out of the box and three years of security updates. While that’s all the information revealed by the brand, there’s plenty more available, courtesy of the leaks. So as to keep you’ll informed, we decided to stack everything known about the OnePlus Nord 2 so far.

OnePlus Nord 2 specs and features

–OnePlus is yet to reveal the design of the OnePlus Nord 2. However, leaks have revealed the upcoming OnePlus Nord successor in full glory. 91mobiles recently shared the complete renders of the OnePlus Nord 2, including the front display.

–From what we can see, the smartphone appears to have a design similar to the high-end OnePlus 9. On the rear, it gets a rectangular camera module with a triple rear camera and a flash. The placement of the tertiary lens and the LED flash is a bit off, though. Whereas on the front, it features a single punch-hole display, unlike the original Nord. The device has slim bezels all around and a slightly thicker chin. It also reported that the smartphone would have a plastic frame sandwiched between a layer of Gorilla Glass 5 on the front and back.

Nord 2 5G blends a MediaTek Dimensity 1200-AI chipset with upgraded AI services. For example, there should be crisper photos, quicker processing, faster gaming, and a richer viewing experience.

–We have also learnt that OnePlus Nord 2 will be made available in two colour options – Grey Sierra and Blue Haze. However, the device could also be joined by a Special leather back edition in a Green Woods colour, a tipster says.

–As far as the specs are concerned, the smartphone has been confirmed to sport a 6.43-inch AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate and HDR 10 + certification. Previously we learnt that the smartphone would be powered by Mediatek’s flagship Dimensity 1200 AI SoC. Now a fresh report says that the OnePlus Nord 2 will be offered in two configurations. One with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of onboard storage, whereas the other with 12GB of RAM and 256 storage capacity.

None of those upgrades will be a game-changer. But they do point to the emerging 5G AI / AR ecosystem coming out of China. The Chinese OEMs, like OnePlus, clearly see AI / AR as a chance to deliver “something different” for the future and to attack the established leaders like Samsung or Apple.
