Last year, OnePlus launched the Nord smartphone, its first offering in the mid-range segment in a long while. The premium mid-range smartphone enjoyed a massive reception and so it is no surprise the Chinese company was planning to replicate the success with the launch of a successor this year. The OnePlus Nord 2 will be the Nord’s successor and it has featured in several leaks and teasers but no official word about its launch. Well, until now. OnePlus has now confirmed that the flagship killer OnePlus Nord 2 will be launched on July 22.

This information was released via the company’s official Twitter handles. The launch event is slated to commence at 3 PM UK time on the said date. The tech giant has even created a landing page for the Nord 2 on its website. Fans can register to get notified when the device goes live and also stand a chance to win a Nord 2 5G smartphone.

The landing page also contains a couple of teasers of the Nord 2. The most prominent one is the MediaTek chipset that the device will pack. OnePlus describes the chipset as one-of-a-kind and touts the device as having “Two brains, one chipset”. This is obviously in reference to the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 AI chipset that will fire up the smartphone. OnePlus had earlier confirmed the SoC will power the Nord 2. The new chipset is a customized chip from MediaTek in collaboration with OnePlus as a part of its Dimensity 5G Open Resource Architecture. Benchmark listing for the Nord 2 had confirmed the Dimensity 1200-AI has an improved AI performance over the Dimensity 1200.

The entire specifications of the device are still unknown but the Nord 2 5G is said to sport a 6.43-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate, a punch-hole, and an in-screen fingerprint reader. The device will also come with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB internal storage.

For photography, the device is rumored to pack a triple rear camera setup comprised of a 50MP (wide) + 8MP (ultra-wide) + 2MP (unknown) combo. For selfies, a 32MP front camera is said to be embedded under the hole punch. Interestingly, the placeholder image on the Nord 2 landing page doesn’t seem to have a punch-hole or notch at the top. Perhaps, OnePlus just wants to keep it secret.

The premium smartphone will also pack a 4500mAh battery and will have support for Warp Charge 30T Plus fast charging protocol, among other features.
