MediaTek Dimensity 1300 SoC

Although OnePlus no longer releases mid-cycle upgrades of its flagship smartphones, the company’s Nord line of devices continues the pattern. We originally learned in January of this year that OnePlus was planning to release a ‘T’ variation of last year’s OnePlus Nord 2. OnePlus have officially unveiled the OnePlus Nord 2T, and it is exactly what recent rumour predicted. The smartphone has been a hot topic in the rumour mill and on certification platforms, and its official release puts an end to such speculations. Here’s all you need to know about the new Oneplus Nord-:

Specifications:

• The Nord 2T has a slim design with dimensions of 159.1mm x 73.2mm x 8.2mm and a weight of 190g. The phone also has a one-of-a-kind rear camera design. The gadget has a 6.43-inch flat AMOLED display panel with an FHD+ resolution and a refresh rate of 90Hz. A punch hole in the top left corner of the display panel clearly houses the selfie camera. On the right side of the frame are the volume and power keys, with the power button also serving as a fingerprint scanner. It’s worth noting that the Nord 2T lacks a headphone jack and a microSD card slot.

• The MediaTek Dimensity 1300 SoC in the Nord 2T is one of MediaTek’s most recent flagship CPUs. It is, in fact, the first smartphone to use the chipset. The Dimensity 1300 is the successor to the Dimensity 1200 from last year, and it now supports 5G. On some variants, the processor is paired with 8GB or 12GB of RAM, while storage options include 128GB and 256GB. The Nord 2T is powered by a 4,500mAh battery that supports 80W SuperVOOC rapid charging. OnePlus even throws in an 80W charger in the box. The good news is that the device supports 80W charging, which was previously only accessible with the OnePlus 10R. OnePlus currently only supports 80W fast charging with its 10R smartphone. In India, the identical handset is available for Rs 38,999. The business claims that the included charger will charge the phone to 100% in roughly 30 minutes. From the start, the Nord 2T 5G operates on OxygenOS 12.1 based on Android 12.
• The OnePlus Nord 2T has a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 main sensor with optical image stabilization, an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera, and a 2-megapixel macro camera for photography. In the punch hole cut out for selfies and video calls, a 32-megapixel IMX615 sensor is housed.

OnePlus Nord 2T Price and availability:

The OnePlus Nord 2T has a starting price of EUR 369, which converts to about Rs 35,720 in India. The 8GB RAM + 128GB storage option will be available for the same price. There’s also a £469 model with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage (around Rs 45,400).

Gray Shadow and Jade Fog are the shades available. On May 24, 2022, the handset will be available for purchase on the official OnePlus website and on Amazon.

There is currently no information on when the OnePlus Nord 2T will be available in India. The OnePlus Nord CE 2 and OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite were recently unveiled by the company. As a result, the prospects of the Nord 2T being launched in India are slim. It’s possible that the smartphone will arrive in India under the name Nord 3. We’ll have to wait a while to find out whether the Nord 2T will be available in India.

OnePlus has also released the OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite and the Nord Buds in the UK and Europe, in addition to the OnePlus Nord 2T. On May 24, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite will also be available for purchase, with a single 6GB+128GB option priced at £279/€299. The Nord Buds, on the other hand, will be available starting May 24 for £49/€49.
