OnePlus is all geared up to launch their upcoming mid-ranger, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 tomorrow (Feb 17). The brand has already revealed various specs and features of the upcoming smartphone, including its design. And the remaining specs have appeared through leaks and rumors, so let’s take a look at what we know so far.
Design & Display
The OnePlus Nord CE 2 looks quite similar to the Nord CE except for its camera bump design. It’s apparent that the camera bump borrows from the design of the OPPO Find X3 Pro. The Nord CE 2 has the volume rocker located on the left, and the power button on the right side. However, it appears to be missing the iconic OnePlus alert slider.
On the front, it features slim bezzles on three sides with a sizable chin on the bottom. The device is expected to come with a 6.43-inch FHD+ 90Hz AMOLED display featuring a punch-hole cutout located in the top left for the front camera.
Cameras
For photography, the smartphone will house a triple camera system comprising of a 64MP AI primary camera, an 8MP ultra-wide unit (119° FOV), and a 2MP macro snapper. On the front, it will come with a 16MP selfie shooter.
Performance
The device is officially revealed to house a MediaTek Dimensity 900 SoC under its hood. It is also rumored to come with at least 8GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 128GB UFS 2.2 storage.
OnePlus Head of Product Oliver Zhang recently shared in an Interview that the Nord CE 2 will come with a 4,500mAh battery supporting up to 65W fast-charging using SuperVOOC branded technology used by OPPO products.
He also stated that the device will feature a microSD card slot that can expand the memory by up to 1TB using a TF card. The device will also come with a 3.5mm headphone jack for music lovers who don’t like compromising over quality just to go wireless.
