The OnePlus Nord will be announced on Tuesday, July 21. The device will be the “world’s first smartphone launch done entirely in AR”. OnePlus already released an app alongside a guide on how to experience the launch, however, not all devices are supported by the app. This has prompted the manufacturer to announce alternative ways to experience the launch for those who fall under this category.
According to a post by Carl Pei on the OnePlus Forums, OnePlus has partnered with YouTuber, Unbox Therapy, who will live stream the launch on his YouTube channel and the official OnePlus Nord AR page.
OnePlus has also partnered with other creators that will live stream the launch in their respective languages. Below is the list of creators as well as the links to the platforms they will be streaming from:
- Jojol (French) – YouTube
- AlexiBexi (German) – Twitch
- Topes de Gama (Spanish) – YouTube
- Andreagaleazzi (Italian) – YouTube
The OnePlus Nord AR app works with devices that run Android 7.0 Nougat and above and that also supports Google ARCore. Apple devices running iOS 13.1 and higher that also have support for Apple’s ARKit are also supported.
Unfortunately for OnePlus, its OnePlus 8 series and the older OnePlus 5T have compatibility issues with the app. OnePlus already promised an APK will be made available for the OnePlus 8 series but it is still working on a solution for the OnePlus 5T.
