We should be seeing OnePlus’s next smartphone, the OnePlus Nord 2, launched later this month. Several details about the phone have already emerged online ahead of the device’s launch, and it will undoubtedly be the company’s next big release.
In a recent interview with XDADevelopers, the company confirmed that the Nord 2 will indeed feature the new OxygenOS 11.3 — a UI that combines OxygenOS and ColorOS code. After OnePlus announced the merger of OxygenOS and Oppo’s ColorOS, this news comes as a welcome surprise. Oliver Zhang, OnePlus’ Head of Product, also revealed there will not be too many changes to the OS, and that it will be similar to the vanilla OxygenOS. OxygenOS and ColorOS are built using the same codebase, and OnePlus previously explained that by using the same codebase in the future, OnePlus and Oppo can develop operating systems together with greater ease.
Expected Features in OnePlus Nord 2
- In terms of its specs, the OnePlus Nord 2 will sport a 6.43-inch Full HD+ display with an AMOLED panel and support for 90Hz refresh rate along with an in-display fingerprint sensor.
- It has been rumoured that the Nord 2 will be the first OnePlus phone to use the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 processor and will most likely come with 12GB RAM and 256GB of storage.
- Additionally, the Nord 2 is expected to have a triple camera setup on the back. A 50MP primary camera could be paired with an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera and a 2MP macro lens to create the ultimate set-up. The phone will also feature a 32MP front-facing camera.
- OnePlus Nord 2 would have a 4,500mAh battery and, possibly, fast charging capabilities.
