A new detail about the OnePlus Nord has been revealed. According to a tweet by Ishan Agarwal, the phone will have optical image stabilization. The tweet was retweeted by OnePlus Co-founder, Carl Pei with the comment “Flagship camera incoming”.

Optical Image Stabilization or OIS for short is a feature commonly found in flagship phones. There are even a few flagship phones that have been released in the past that do not have the feature, so it is no surprise that OnePlus is bragging about its availability on its mid-range device.

OIS allows users to take shake-free photos. If you don’t have steady hands or you are taking a photo while moving, you will definitely find it very useful.

Other than the confirmation of the new feature, the retail box of the phone has also been revealed.

The OnePlus Nord will come in a black box, a first for the company whose previous phones ship in white or red (orange in the case of the McLaren edition phones) retail boxes. The top part of the box has the OnePlus logo at the corner while the word “Nord” is written multiple times in a much larger font. On the side of the box is written “OnePlus“.

The retail box is designed in such a way that you can see the teal/cyan color of the inside of the box. This is the same color OnePlus is using for the OnePlus logo for the Nord line but we are surprised the logo on the box doesn’t have that color.

In one of the images posted, OnePlus demonstrates the sturdiness of the box by having two people stand on top of it. This particular picture has gotten mixed reception with some defending it and others saying they really do not care how strong the box is since it is going to get discarded once the phone is out of it.

The OnePlus Nord launches on July 21 and the event will be the world’s first AR smartphone launch.
