OnePlus has already stated in the past that the company is “going all in on 5G” back when it launched the OnePlus 8 series, so it doesn’t come as a surprise that the OnePlus Nord will also come with 5G support. The Snapdragon 765G mid-range chipset already powers phones like the Oppo Reno 3 Pro (global variant) and Realme X50 5G. Notably, India is yet to get a Snapdragon 765G-powered phone and it looks like the OnePlus Nord might be the first one.
Other OnePlus Nord specifications confirmed include a 32MP dual selfie camera setup and a pill-shaped punch-hole cutout. The phone is rumoured to launch with a 90Hz refresh rate and 30W fast charging support. We expect OnePlus to reveal more details about the Nord smartphone in the days leading up to the launch.
OnePlus Nord will launch in India soon and is already listed on Amazon India. The phone will be up for limited pre-orders in Europe, while India pre-order details are yet to be revealed.
