The OnePlus Nord is going to break many bones of smartphone companies!
Ever since the announcement from the company about their upcoming new mid-range smartphone few months ago, the whole tech world is all excited to get hands on it. The smartphone is going to be less than $500 and it's already creating a lot of buzz among many people who are mostly willing to compare it with the recently launched 2nd generation iPhone SE from Apple.
The reason behind the name and how the specifications spare to the price bracket.
All the tech enthusiasts were very curious about the name selection of the company which is now being called the "Nord". the co-founder of the company Carl Pei revealed in a tweet that it comes from the concept of true north. By this, the company looks very clear in providing good value for each buck of the consumers. Speaking of the value, the smartphone is going to feature a Snapdragon 765G chipset and will be capable of 5G. The 5G feature won't be a big deal for some regions like India yet, but it provides future proofing for the phone making it a really strong contender since the iPhone doesn't support 5G. The company also revealed that it has a in-built fingerprint sensor which makes it evident that it will have an in-display fingerprint sensor.
The design and the overall looks,
Carl Pei revealed in an interview that they had made a lot of effort in making the feel of scrolling in the phone to be as smooth and equivalent to the higher OnePlus phones which have a flagship processor. OnePlus had also tweeted last year that all of their future phones will come with atleast 90 Hz refresh rate and we can actually be assured that this smartphone is going to follow the suit. It is also in all the probability going to feature an Amoled display since it is going to have an in-display fingerprint reader. The screen size is going to be 6.44-inch with a touch sampling rate of 180 Hz. The overall looks of the smartphone is quite sturdy. Although the rumors are that it is going to be plastic, we are assured that it is going to be a high quality plastic and with the curved edges, it is going to give a comfortable feel to the hands when you hold it. It is going to come in 3 color options - Blue, White and Black. The battery is going to be 4,114 mAh and is going to support their 30W fast charging,
The Camera looks "cool"
Another thing which the company is very proud of is the six cameras of the smartphone including 2 front facing cameras in a dual punch hole style. The primary front facing camera is supposed to be 32MP with f/2.45 speed. It is also going to feature an ultra wide lens with a 105-degree FOV. it is going to be an 8MP sensor with the same f/2.45 speed.
The back of the phone has a quad camera setup with the primary camera equipped with the previous generation (the Sony IMX 586) with a 48 MP sensor also found on the OnePlus 7 pro. It also features an 8MP ultra-wide, a 5Mp depth sensor along with 2MP macro lens. Another interesting feature is that the company is including the optical image stabilization (OIS) technology seen mostly in flagship phones which gives better low-light images.
Price and Availability
The "cheapest" OnePlus smartphone of 2020 will follow suit of the previous OnePlus X which was launched in 2015 as a mid-range smartphone and the Nord will cost less than $500 as told by Carl Pei making it affordable to many people.
The company also had released a pre-order time till July 15. The phone will be available in as many as 28 Europian countries along with India. The company told that it won't be available in North America but it plans to release the future Nord line ups in the region. They are also going to release their much awaited truly wireless earphones called the OnePlus Buds along with the Nord which is going to be a virtual launch event.
