The OnePlus Nord launches in ten days as the manufacturer’s first mid-range 5G phone. However, it may not be the only mid-range OnePlus phone we will be getting this year.
A OnePlus device has been spotted on Geekbench under the name “OnePlus BE2028” and it is not the OnePlus Nord. The Geekbench listing shows the phone has 6GB of RAM, runs Android 10, and is powered by the Snapdragon 690.
Yes, that is the Snapdragon 690 and not the Snapdragon 765. The CPU details show the processor has an Adreno 619 which is not the GPU inside the Snapdragon 765 processor.
The Snapdragon 690 was announced last month as the first Snapdragon 600-series 5G processor. It is an 8nm chipset with 2x Kryo 560 cores clocked at 2.0GHz and 6x Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 1.7GHz. The GPU is an Adreno 619L.
The chipset also has Bluetooth 5.1 and Wi-Fi 6 and supports FHD+ displays with a 120Hz refresh rate and QHD+ displays with a 60Hz display.
Based on the features of the chipset, we can deduce some of the specs of this OnePlus phone. For starters, it will have an FHD+ display. It should also have a refresh rate of at least 90Hz. OnePlus already said last year that all its phones will have a high refresh rate and we presume this will also apply to its mid-range phones.
While the official name of this phone is not known, there are speculations it may be the OnePlus Nord Lite. OnePlus already confirmed that Nord is a line of affordable smartphones, so any OnePlus device that is not a flagship will launch under the Nord line.
We expect more details regarding this device will surface in the coming weeks.
