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.

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.

OnePlus 10R

OnePlus Presents OnePlus 10R With A Design Setting It Apart From The Cloning Army.

From the time smartphones became a quintessential part of our lives, there is barely any difference between the designs of smartphones manufactured by companies. It seems like there is a standard template for the design of the smartphone that everyone is tending to follow. But, amidst the crowd, there is one brand that sets itself apart every time it launches a new product. So, away from all the regular colors, sleek design, a robust camera system, and utmost a gradient touch, OnePlus presents before us the OnePlus 10R smartphone with all the surprising and unique features. The company has earned its brand reputation for never settling for the same regular design and always bringing something different to the desk. 

When OnePlus launched its first product on the market, everyone was stunned to see the sandstone finish for the first time. Every minute detail, even for the charging cable, became a jaw-dropping design icon for the rest of the smartphone brands. The idea to make every element of a smartphone set different is what OnePlus is all about. From taking the first look at any OnePlus model to taking a picture with it, the difference can be felt instantly. Since then, OnePlus has successfully maintained consistency in terms of innovations. From introducing frosted glass finishes to launching special editions, OnePlus is still experimenting to bring out the best. Apart from the smartphones, even the fitness brand with cartoon stickers all over it has never been so classy before. This is the way how OnePlus likes to roll in the market and take us by surprise.

In terms of design, the OnePlus 10R is the new diamond of the season. There are several factors based on which this flagship design is different from the dull cloning army. But, bringing a new design doesn’t meet it has compromised quality or performance. OnePlus 10R presents a dual-textured look with very slim vertical lines running on the back of the phone from the camera enclosure to the base. This subtle and elegant pattern is the result of working with a nano-level dot matrix arrangement that is unique to the company to date. This technology was explicitly used not only to give it an elegant look but also to make the back resistant to fingerprints which tend to spoil the look. Two prominent color options for the OnePlus 10R are Forest Green and Sierra Black.

After getting over the elegant dark lines on an aesthetic backdrop on the back of the phone, the display will sweep the minds. OnePlus 10R is offering a magnificent 6.7-inch front display. It is vibrant and colorful because of the full HD+ fluid AMOLED display that has a 120 Hz refresh rate. The display will hardly allow bezels to create a disturbance while watching a movie or playing video games. Moreover, the model is offering flat sides which makes it extremely comfortable to hold the phone and provides a good grip. This is an extra advantage, especially when holding the phone in landscape mode like watching a movie or shooting a landscape video. 

If you are already a OnePlus user then it is a known fact how smoothly one can play games or create content from the device. Especially for the gaming experience, the OnePlus 10R is equipped with excellent stereo speakers and a MediaTek Dimensity 8100-MAX octa-core chip. It also comes with up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM to handle all the intense activities. The next important factor is the battery life and the model is offering two choices, 4500 mAh, and 5000 mAh variants. There is also a 150W SUPERVOC Endurance Edition that allows charging the phone completely in just seventeen minutes. 

Overall, the model weighs 186 grams which is comparatively lighter and also very thin (8.2 mm). The phone will be running on OxygenOS, again ensuring very smooth and comfortable use. With the launch of the OnePlus 10R, it’s now time to observe whether it sets an example for other brands or becomes an exception that no one can ever match.

About the Company

Realme is a Chinese smartphone company that has only been around for a little over two years. It’s owned by BBK Electronics Corporation, which has a tumultuous history of producing brands such as iQOO, as well as the more well-known OnePlus, Oppo, and Vivo. Realme was created in the same way as OnePlus, as a separate brand from BBK and Oppo, but with access to Oppo’s IP, purchasing economies of scale, and extensive factory lines. While OnePlus didn’t make the top ten list of second-quarter shipments at all, and Oppo saw a drop in device shipments, Realme seems to have thrived.

Sky Li, the founder of Realme, is a former Oppo employee. Li oversaw Oppo’s international expansion and has a track record of keeping Realme’s business message unmistakably simple: excellent value. Since its launch, the company’s portfolio has grown to include a budget banquet of premium features at competitive prices – ideal for brand-agnostic, Covid-era buyers.
