Design and Display
The OnePlus Nord’s design prevents any startling effects. It has components that we have seen on several smartphones that have already been released. In conclusion, there aren’t many bells and whistles in this system. The OnePlus Nord is built with some high-quality materials, nevertheless. It has Gorilla Glass 5 on the front and back.
A 6.44-inch Fluid AMOLED screen with a screen resolution of 1080 x 2400, a screen density of 408 PPI, compatibility for HDR10+, and a refresh rate of 90 Hz can be found up front. In comparison to the OnePlus 8 Pro, this display has a much more obvious camera cut-out. This is because the cut-out here has two cameras.
A vertically organized quad-camera array, an LED flash, the Oneplus logo, and the OnePlus branding language that identifies the phone as a OnePlus model are all present on the back. On the OnePlus Nord, there aren’t many colour options. There are only two options available to enthusiasts: Blue Marble and Gray Onyx.
The Cameras
The first OnePlus smartphone to have six cameras is the Nord. This contrasts with the OnePlus 8 quad cameras and the OnePlus 8 Pro Penta cameras. Please keep in mind, though, that studies have shown that adding more cameras or having larger camera pixels doesn’t actually help a camera perform better.
On the plus side, having extra cameras gives you access to more camera features for mobile photography. A 48MP primary camera with an aperture of f/1.8, an 8MP ultrawide camera with an aperture of f/2.3, a 5MP depth camera, and a 2MP macro camera with an aperture of f/2.4 make up the OnePlus Nord’s rear camera arrangement.
This rear camera arrangement can record 1080p films at 30, 60, and 240 frames per second in addition to 4k footage at 30 frames per second. For photography, it also provides HDR and Panorama modes.
A dual-camera system for taking selfies consists of a 32MP main camera and an 8MP ultrawide camera. You can capture videos at a frame rate of up to 4K with this configuration. You may take pictures in HDR mode as well.
Hardware and Software
The OnePlus Nord includes a chipset in the high midrange combined with various performance boosters from the OnePlus 8. In conclusion, we have a very reliable upper mid-range smartphone that can do the majority of smartphone chores quickly or without lags.
This Android phone has an Adreno 620 GPU and an Octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 765 processor inside. Additionally, you can choose between 8GB and 12GB of RAM. There are two storage options: 128GB and 256GB.
A 4115 mAh Li-Po battery with no replaceable parts powers the OnePlus Nord. Additionally, you receive a Warp Charge 30T, which has a 30W rapid charge capacity.
