OnePlus is preparing to launch its flagship OnePlus 9 series later this month. Now, being the flagship series, there is a high chance that OnePlus 9 devices would be in high demand. The popularity of its mid-range OnePlus Nord in markets like India, however, has been pretty huge as well. So, OnePlus is planning to launch the next Nord device as soon as Q2 of this year. And surprisingly, it will be powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 5G chipset.
As per a report by Android Authority, OnePlus will launch the next Nord device dubbed the OnePlus Nord 2 with the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 CPU near the second half of 2021. So, if this becomes a reality, the OnePlus Nord 2 will be the first OnePlus device ever to feature a MediaTek chipset. Previously, the company has used chipsets like the Snapdragon 690 and the Snapdragon 460 for the Nord 10 5G and Nord N100 respectively.
