Today OnePlus is asserting the 2021 successor to the OnePlus Nord – the corporate mid-range line-up telephone. The new telephone takes the {hardware} platform from the OPPO Reno 5 Pro in that it’s now powered by the brand new MediaTek Dimensity 1200. What’s uncommon right here is that it seems that OnePlus goes completely MediaTek for the machine, and possibly correlated to this truth is that the machine isn’t presently being introduced for the US.

Starting with the SoC, the Nord 2 is powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 1200, which is a 6nm SoC improve to the Dimensity 1000 era from final gen, that includes new a Cortex-A78 core that clock as much as 3GHz, three A78’s at 2.6GHz, and 4 A55’s at 2.0GHz. The GPU is an older Mali-G77MP9 at an undisclosed frequency. OnePlus claims they’ve an unique “AI” variant of the chip that seemingly has increased clock speeds within the NPU and DSP blocks.
The telephone is available in both Eight or 12GB RAM variants with LPDDR4X and 128 or 256GB of UFS 2.1 storage.
Connectivity clever there’s naturally the 5G capabilities of the SoC (sub-6GHz), however there’s additionally a brand new WiFi 6 appropriate combo chip and an improve to Bluetooth 5.2.
The show specs seem equivalent to the unique OnePlus Nord, nonetheless with smaller diagonal at 6.43” vs 6.44”. It’s nonetheless an AMOLED show at 2400 x 1080 decision and 90Hz refresh price.
What’s totally different right here design clever is that OnePlus has dropped the ultra-wide module, so as an alternative of two entrance cameras in a pill-shaped cut-out you solely stay with the identical 32MP major unit, although this time it’s marketed as an IMX615 versus IMX616 final era – the variations between the 2 are unclear as the elemental specs are the identical.
The rear of the telephone has a digital camera island design that appears just like that of the OnePlus 9 Pro but in addition takes queues from the Reno 5 Pro sequence. It’s primarily a dual-camera telephone, with the primary module being an IMX766 at 50MP which we additionally noticed on the Find X3 Pro, it’s usually a big 1.0µm pixel unit and sensor measurement at 1/1.56” which is considerably distinctive and uncommon for the mid-range, and options f/1.88 26mm equal optics with OIS.
The secondary digital camera is an 8MP unit with an ultra-wide diagonal discipline of view of 119° and f/2.25 aperture optics – no additional particulars have been provided on this module, so it’s in all probability fairly primary. There’s additionally a 2MP macro digital camera however these usually are unusable and are there only for advertising and marketing functions.
The telephone weighs in at 189g which is usually consistent with the business because it has a 4500mAh battery in two cells for serial high-voltage charging at as much as 65W energy. It shall be attention-grabbing to see the telephone’s energy effectivity as this was one facet that wasn’t convincing on the 9 Pro.
The design seems very…
