OnePlus has officially confirmed its upcoming Nord device, the OnePlus Nord 2 5G. The company also revealed that the phone will be powered by the flagship-grade Dimensity 1200-AI processor.
Yes, the brand is officially calling it the Dimensity 1200-AI. The company says that it has worked closely with MediaTek to ‘enhance AI-based features’. So this is essentially a customized chip from MediaTek in collaboration with OnePlus as a part of its Dimensity 5G Open Resource Architecture.
“The Dimensity 1200-AI is the first example of MediaTek’s Dimensity Open Resource Architecture initiative, optimizing the powerful Dimensity 1200 5G chipset to deliver a customized experience for OnePlus users,” said Dr. JC Hsu, Corporate VP and GM of MediaTek’s Wireless Communications Business Unit. “As AI is reshaping the future of chipset technology, this initiative gives brands like OnePlus access to the latest AI-powered capabilities with the flexibility to innovate in new and exciting ways.”
This customized Dimensity 1200-AI chip will integrate several AI-based enhancements, especially in the camera and display departments. For example, OnePlus reveals that thanks to the AI Photo Enhancement, the Nord 2 5G can recognize up to 22 different photography scenarios and can even automatically adjust color tones and contrast in the photos taken in low-light situations. The phone’s AI Video Enhancement feature can enable live HDR effects in real-time at the time of recording. With the help of DOL-HDR tech, the phone can adjust tuning and image quality during live recording and even enhance the color range and accuracy of the videos, thereby increasing dynamic range and improving the highlight retention. In the display department, the phone will feature AI Color Boost technology which automatically converts standard content to HDR while AI Resolution Boost tech can automatically upscale video resolution to HD.
While OnePlus has confirmed the chip, it is yet to announce an official launch date for the Nord 2 5G. However, given that official teasers have started to emerge, it could be announced soon, possibly by the end of July, as revealed in a previous leak.
