Renowned tipster Evan Blass (@evleaks) has shared three more color variants of the OnePlus Nord 2 smartphone to add to the current list of leaks relating to the upcoming smartphone. An initial leak for the device had indicated a red color variant. Now, Blass has shown that the OnePlus Nord 2 will also come in Green Wood, Gray Sierra, and Blue Haze color variants.

The leaker also indicated that the Green Wood and Blue Haze variants would have a significantly different finish from the other versions. The OnePlus Nord 2 is scheduled for unveiling on July 22, and prior to its launch, it has been the subject of several leaks from different quarters. You can follow the launch live on the official OnePlus YouTube channel and set the reminder notice to join millions to see the unveiling live. OnePlus is also doing a competition to herald the launch of the OnePlus Nord 2. Participants in some specified AR games will be entered into a lucky draw with winners going away with a Nord 2 smartphone, as well as other gifts.

OnePlus Nord 2 is a 5G compatible smartphone with a triple rear camera setup, a unique chipset, the MediaTek Dimensity1200-AI, powerful AI functionality, and many other impressive features seen from earlier teasers and leaks. The primary rear camera is a 50MP cam based on Sony’s IMX 766 sensor. The new camera setup guarantees a better picture quality and improved low-light performance. The two other rear cameras could be ultra-wide and a macro to accentuate the primary sensor.

The attached MediaTek Dimensity 1200-AI chipset for the OnePlus Nord 2 supports 4K stacked HDR video recording. The RAM and internal storage of the device are projected to be quite decent for its status.

As per battery capacity and performance, the OnePlus Nord 2 could come with nothing less than a 4,000mAh battery and ultra-fast charging that could go beyond 30W. Pricing and availability details are lacking, but these will be revealed at the launch, just hours away.

OnePlus isn’t just planning on pushing out new midrange models following the success of the Nord last year but is also striving to push out fresh updates to the original model. The tech giant has now rolled out a new update for the first-gen Nord smartphone.

The update ushers in the OS version Oxygen 11.1.4.4 and brings some improvements to the device such as improved battery life and a couple of bug fixes. The changelog for the update shows that the device comes with a reduction in power consumption in specific areas. It also fixes the issue of delayed notifications. The new update equally fixes the overheating issue in certain scenarios. In addition, the new update brings the June 2021 security patch.

Owers of the OnePlus Nord owners have started receiving the update via OTA push but to avoid bricking their smartphones, it is important that users ensure that their phone’s battery has up to 30% of battery power before commencing the update. It is also required that there is a minimum of 3GB RAM space available before starting the update.

This is the second time the Nord smartphone is receiving a new update since May. In the month of May, OnePlus provided an OTA update for the device which arrived as OxygenOS 11.1.1.3. The update brings an upgrade to the security patch and several new fixes.

Since the vanilla Nord’s launch last year, the Chinese tech giant went on to release a number of mid-range models such as the Nord N100, Nord N10. This year, the company has already unveiled the Nord CE 5G and Nord N200 5G. The Nord 2 5G is expected to join the fray later this month.

The OnePlus Nord was probably the most-hyped smartphone of 2021. Ahead of the release of its successor dubbed as OnePlus Nord 2, the company has deleted all the posts from the OnePlus Nord official Instagram account as part of marketing. Additionally, a popular tech influencer has also tipped the device’s launch timeline.

Earlier today, OnePlus took down all the posts from its OnePlus Nord official Instagram handle. At around the same time, Mukul Sharma, a well-known Indian tech influencer tipped the launch timeline for the OnePlus Nord 2.

According to Sharma, the OnePlus Nord 2 will launch during the last 10 days of July. The handset could go official on July 24. If this is true, we expect the brand to officially announce the launch date in the coming days as it is gearing up for promotion.

As per previous reports, the upcoming OnePlus Nord 2 will look identical to the OnePlus 9 series. It is reported to come with a 6.43-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate, a punch-hole, and an in-screen fingerprint reader.

The phone is said to be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 1200 SoC coupled with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB internal storage. As for optics, it is said to feature a 50MP (wide) + 8MP (ultra-wide) + 2MP (unknown) triple camera setup on the back and a 32MP selfie camera on the front.

Last but not least, the OnePlus Nord 2 is expected to be backed by a 4,500mAh battery with support for Warp Charge 30T Plus fast charging protocol.

The post OnePlus Nord 2 launch date tipped appeared first on Gizmochina.

The news was out this week that premium quality tech brand OnePlus is developing a fourth consumer-friendly smartphone called the OnePlus Nord SE. Subsequent events, however, point to the release of a fifth model soon. The OnePlus Nord 2 is expected to be out by the first quarter of 2021.

Smartphone buff and tipster Max Jambor, with a reputation for posting sometimes undecipherable and prophetic tweets on smartphone brands, just tweeted on the codename ‘Denniz.’

While Jambor did not specifically link OnePlus to the Denniz codename in the tweet, in subsequent communication with Phonearena, he clarified that ‘Denniz’ is the name OnePlus may have chosen for the second-generation smartphone from its stable.

For now, information is scanty on the features and specifications of this new model. However, possible upgrades may include an updated Qualcomm Snapdragon 700-series chipset, an OnePlus 8T-like camera module with more powerful sensors, and possibly a 120Hz Fluid AMOLED display to replace the existing 90Hz display.

The OnePlus Nord 2 is projected to be released in 2021 as a replacement for the original model, launched in July 2020. However, considering the early development milestones that may have been reached, an early announcement could be in the offing. 

It is also speculated that the price of this new offering could be in-between that of the OnePlus 9 and the upcoming OnePlus Nord SE.
