OnePlus Nord 2 Announcement Today

[Musty]

Just saw that the new OnePlus Nord is getting announced in a few hours.

I'm still happily running my old OnePlus 6, but might be tempted to upgrade to this (if only because my cracked screen is starting to annoy me more).

 

The leaked specs look great for the price: https://www.techradar.com/uk/news/oneplus-nord-2

 

The TLDR version of the things I was interested in:

 

Expected price:  £379 / €399/ $480

Chipset: Dimensity 1200-AI chipset. Apparently an altered version of the Dimensity 1200 which I think is an 8 core CPU (in a 1+3+4 config).

Screen: 6.43-inch AMOLED with 90Hz refresh rate

Camera: Same sensor as the OnePlus 9 but without the Hasseblad partnership. Three lens setup. 

Battery: 4,500mAh battery with 65W charging

It's official now, of course.

 

Seems like a solid device, but I really wish OnePlus would sell its highest-end Nord phones in North America. Right now it's like we're getting the 'leftovers.'
