Jul. 17, 2020

OnePlus makes a return to the mid-range segment in just four days. Yeah, the much-awaited OnePlus Nord is set to launch on July 21st next week and the Chinese giant has slowly been confirming some key specs of its upcoming smartphone. We already have a good idea about the OnePlus Nord design and the 5G chipset that powers this phone. And today, OnePlus hastaken to its forumtoofficially reveal the camera specificationsfor OnePlus Nord.

Thanks to the leaked, as well as official renders, we know that the OnePlus Nord will come with a quad-camera setup on the rear and a dual-camera setup on the front for selfies. So, here are the specifications for the two camera setups.

Starting off with the rear, OnePlus Nord will be helmed by the48MP Sony IMX586 sensorthat is also found aboard the flagshipOnePlus 7Tfrom last year. It boasts an f/1.75 aperture and will include OIS (optical image stabilization) + EIS support as well.

The primary sensor is coupled with an 8 MP ultra-wide camera, a 5 MP depth camera, and a macro sensor. Just like the OnePlus 8, there’s no telephoto lens aboard this mid-ranger as well. I would prefer a telephoto camera over the depth and macro lens setup. This setup isin line with the rumorsthat have been making rounds of the Internet for the past couple of weeks.

The forum post also talks about some of the software enhancements aboard OnePlus Nord. It is“smart enough to detect when you have multiple people in a single shot and will ensure every face is clear and detailed,”says Simon Liu, Imaging Director, OnePlus.

Apart from the camera, OnePlus Nord is confirmed to pack a90Hz Fluid AMOLED displayon the front. It will boast a 180Hz touch response rate but the screen size is still a mystery. The 5G-enabledSnapdragon 765Gchipset from Qualcomm has been confirmed to power this device, along with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.

OnePlus Nord will run Android 10-based OxygenOS 10 out-of-the-box. And finally, arecent official Nord caseshed light on the battery capacity of the device. It will come equipped with a 4,115mAh battery pack with Warp Charge 30T fast-charging support in tow.

So yeah, OnePlus Nord is shaping up to be a pretty capable mid-range phone. Now, all that remains to be seen is the pricing of the device, which has beenconfirmed to be under $500 (around Rs. 37,500). Our best guess is that it will start at around Rs. 26,000 – Rs. 28,000 in India, which is a fair ask for the aforementioned specs.
