Exactly a year after launching the first budget-centric OnePlus Nord smartphone, the Chinese giant has unveiled its successor in India. It’s called the OnePlus Nord 2 5G and carries the company’s signature ‘flagship killer’ moniker. This 5G-enabled smartphone features a MediaTek Dimensity chipset, 50MP triple camera, 65W Warp charging, and more.
Starting off with the design, OnePlus Nord 2 looks quite similar to the OnePlus 9R. It includes a flat display with a punch-hole selfie camera on the front and a rectangular camera module at the back. The device comes in three color variants. Two of them, Blue Haze and Gray Sierra, boast a shiny back panel whereas the Green Woods color variant (India exclusive) has a leathery back panel.
The display here supports AI Color Boost in apps like YouTube, MX Player, and VLC to deliver improved color science. And then there’s AI Resolution Boost that upscales any content from apps like YouTube, Instagram, and Snapchat to HD resolution.
As for the connectivity, let’s first get the most asked question out of the way. How many 5G bands does OnePlus Nord 2 supports a total of 7 5G bands in India. This includes the n41, n78, n40, n79 in NSA configuration and n1, n3, and n28a bands, along with the NSA ones, in the SA configuration. You also have Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2 (with aptX, aptX HD, AAC, and LDAC support), NFC, a USB-C port, and other sensors onboard.
Coming to the price, OnePlus Nord 2 has been priced at Rs. 27,999 for the base 6GB+128GB variant in India. The high-end 8GB+128GB and 12GB+256GB variants will need you to shell out Rs. 29,999 and Rs. 34,999, respectively.
