OnePlus’ new mid-ranger looks right in line with the rest of the company’s portfolio
The Nord 2T (or T2?) is coming very soon, if recent leaks are to be believed, and we keep learning more and more about the device ahead of its official release date, and how it looks to be a competing budget phone. taking shape. Which might dampen the competition with some old school “flagship killer” vibes. And now, we’re finally getting a first look at the new OnePlus Nord handset.
As spotted by XDA, Digital Chat Station has shared renders of the upcoming OnePlus phone on Weibo, and it certainly looks in line with the OnePlus 10 Pro. While it doesn’t have the wrap-around style camera housing of the flagship, it looks like it comes with a similar matte-looking finish in both gray and pastel green on the back. If it is made of glass, we would suspect that it may also come with a subtle sandstone feel using OnePlus’ frosted glass finish. While it may seem like there are only two lenses in the camera housing, there are actually three, with two hidden inside a single circular cutout. Interestingly, it also has two flash modules.

Moving to the front, the renders suggest that OnePlus may opt for a left-aligned front punch-hole camera. There’s also a visible bezel at the bottom, though it doesn’t feel as big as the older models. While it’s hard to tell, it appears that the Nord 2T also comes with the Signature Alert slider that sits above the power button on this model – previous rumors have already pointed to this, so this is further confirmation.

The digital chat station also adds fuel to previous leaks that said the Nord 2T will come with the Dimensity 1300, its 4,500mAh battery with support for 80W fast charging. One of the cameras is believed to be the IMX766, which is moving to more and more midrange phones. We learned earlier that the other cameras at the back are believed to be 8MP ultrawide and 2MP monochrome while the selfie shooter comes with 32MP. As for the display, we’re looking at a 6.43-inch 90Hz OLED. The phone should come in variants with 8 or 12GB of RAM and 128 or 256GB of storage and is believed to be shipping with Oxygen OS 12.
Considering that we learn more and more about this phone with every passing day, it is possible that OnePlus may release it really soon. Rumors have pointed to an April or May release, so the time frame certainly fits. Like other mid-range Nord phones, it’s unlikely that the Nord 2T will make its way to the US, though.
