ONEPLUS NORD - Here It Is! -review

So we finally have the official reveal of the one plus Nord .So that we now know its full specs design and launch date, unlike most other leaks. we have though a lot of this information that came from one plus directly. But this time around we've had so much information I don't even know where to start carl pay showed us the one plus  Nord himself we had a full spec sheet leaked full camera details pre-orders opening up and news the one plus buds are launching alongside the one plus Nord.

first up we've got the one plus buds launching alongside the one plus Nord. one plus have provided headphones in the past such as the bullets but the one plus buds are more of a truly wireless experience but they do look very similar to AirPods well they are a bit late to the market with these it will of course be a good thing to sell alongside their one plus Nord as well as their other ranges.

next up we've got the full spec sheet leaked for the one plus Nord and it's looking like a very capable device we won't go through all of the specs now as we will cover them towards the end of the blog. But the specs leaked were by   Evan Blass and they're reportedly from a virtual Nord training presentation while the specs appear to be accurate the design is of course incorrect. This is meant to be the case however as Evan advises the design is simply a placeholder this is also obvious as we've got a single rear camera in the image with the quad-camera setup listed. It does confirm things that we already knew and were hoping for such as the 90 hertz AMOLED display the quad-camera setup on the rear the dual cameras on the front and the snapdragon 675g.

next up we have the reveal of the oneplus nord that i guess   we can be calling official as it came from carl pay himself for those that   don't know carl pay is the co-founder of oneplus and you'll usually see him   on stage at the oneplus launches corlpay had a 20-minute interview with youtube where they mainly discuss things such as smartphone cost and production   but we did get a look at the oneplus nord we were first given a glimpse of   the original oneplus nord and as you can see it's very different to what   we're expecting corlpay explains that they did do something they wouldn't   normally do and they changed the design very late in the process and this is the   reason for the delays and it pushed the launch back over a month some of   you may have also seen this prototype in some earlier documentary videos   he then shows us the final design and interestingly enough he says it's the   design they settled with probably not the best phrasing considering their   slogan is never settled but he shows off the oneplus nord final design from the   front and the back so we now know we're getting a dual camera on the front and   a quad camera set up on the rear in this vertical camera alignment and of course   an led flash in the top right this also confirms that the oneplus nord is coming   in the grey in teal color variants

But we don't know if there's going to be any extras throughout the interview he also gave plenty of confirmations on features and specs and he explained how they wanted the oneplus Nord to be a budget mid-range phone but still be comfortable to use and provide that flagship experience. He confirmed it will have the 90hz AMOLED display which is one of the most important features it's gonna have a four thousand one hundred and fifteen milliamp-hour battery to easily last the day it will of course come with reasonable cameras that we'll cover in detail shortly and it's all powered by the snapdragon 765g now the snapdragon 765g isn't the most powerful chipset but it is good enough using this system on the chip allows them to keep the cost of the oneplus Nord down and for day-to-day use, you won't notice the difference. It's not going to be able to play the latest 3d games in full detail but it will still be able to play them it's going to be able to provide a pleasurable experience for day-to-day use. But it just can't do anything to demanding Evan Blass also tweeted early on a range of cases leaked for the one plus nord one of the most interesting cases was of course the jerry-rig everything case which has now been confirmed by the official oneplus twitter and gives us a look at what the inside of the one plus Nord looks like but overall it's looking like a   good mid-range phone that won't break the bank but it will provide you with the specs and design you want the phone is being launched on the 21st of July. 

so when it comes to the oneplus nord we get a pretty much full screen display   which is a fluid amoled 6.44 inch display at a resolution of 1080 by 2400   this gives us a 20 by 9 aspect ratio and a 409 pixels per inch density the   oneplus nord is going to have a 90 hertz refresh rate a dual punch hole selfie   camera and an in-display fingerprint scanner the punch hole selfie camera   consists of a 32 megapixel wide angle camera with an aperture of f 2.45 and   we get an 8 megapixel ultra wide with an aperture of f 2.45 it's capable of   1080p video at 30 frames a second but it doesn't have optical image stabilization   when it comes to the rear of the oneplus nord we've got a quad camera setup   in the vertical camera alignment we have a 48 megapixel primary   sensor with a wide angle lens and an aperture of f 1.75 this has both   phase detect auto focus as well as optical image stabilization   this is supported by an 8 megapixel ultra wide with an aperture of f 2.2   a 5 megapixel depth camera with an aperture of f 2.4   and finally a 2 megapixel macro camera with an aperture of f 2.4 the oneplus   nord has dual led flash and it does support hdr it allows for 4k or 1080p   video but only at 30 frames a second this is most likely down to its weaker   system on chip but it will provide electronic and optical stabilization   the phone comes with six gigs of ram and 128 internal storage while other oneplus   phones recently have removed the microsd card slot we are hoping for this to come   back in the nord but they still haven't confirmed the oneplus nord is powered by   the snapdragon 765g which is a capable chipset to power the phone it's going   to manage day-to-day tasks with no issues and it's only going to struggle   with the very demanding tasks it has 5g connectivity nfc bluetooth 5.1 and   it's all powered by a 4150 milliamp hour battery with 30 watt warp charge support   it unfortunately does not have the three and a half mil headphone jack. But we will likely see deals for the one plus buds now overall it's looking like a great mid-range smartphone and should compete well with the pixel 4a in the iPhone se it's providing us with a decent 90-hertz display and a respectable camera setup on the rear that means for most people it's going to be able to do everything they need of course if you're a gamer then this isn't the phone for you but for anyone else, it's definitely going to be worth considering it's launching in Europe in India first and then it may go to North America later on its launch price is expected to be just under 500 and it is, of course, going to be an online-only launch event that will also bear they've actually started who's excited about the one plus Nord and if not then what phone are you excited for.
