OnePlus Nord is expected to be the low-cost smartphone launched by OnePlus. On board the Snapdragon 765G with 8-12GB of RAM and 128-256GB of storage
Initially it was supposed to be called OnePlus 8 Lite, then it became OnePlus Z and now the latest rumors talk about OnePlus Nord. What are we talking about? The new low-cost smartphone of the Chinese company that should be launched next July 10 in India. After years in which OnePlus has focused on high-end smartphones with a significant price increase, now the company wants to conquer new market shares and the OnePlus Nord (or OnePlus Z) goes in this direction.
This is a mid-range smartphone that focuses heavily on value for money: the company’s goal is to return to the origins, when it established itself with products that offered high performance at low prices. The new smartphone was supposed to come out along with the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro, but the coronavirus emergency has forced the company to postpone the release to July, although there is still no confirmation. In recent weeks have also come out of the anticipations on the characteristics of the OnePlus Nord: on board there will be the chipset Snapdragon 765G, processor that guarantees support for 5G.
The characteristics of the OnePlus Nord
Although the name is different, the technical card of the OnePlus Nord is identical to that of the OnePlus Z, anticipated in previous weeks and also appeared on Geekbench, platform used by manufacturers to test smartphones. On board the OnePlus Nord there will be the Snapdragon 765G processor with to support 8-12GB of RAM and 128-256GB of internal memory. The screen should have a 6.5-inch diagonal with FullHD+ resolution and 90Hz refresh rate.
On the photo compartment OnePlus had to compromise: in the back there will be three cameras, with 48 Megapixel main sensor. 16 Megapixel wide-angle and 13 Megapixel telephoto lens. In the front the camera is 16 Megapixel.
The battery should be 4000mAh with support for fast charging. Uncertain the presence of the audio jack: OnePlus has eliminated it in its latest smartphone.
