OnePlus Nord 2 officially mentioned weeks ahead of launch


The OnePlus Nord 2 is expected to launch soon as a successor to the highly popular OnePlus Nord. Even before the new mid-ranger is officially unveiled, it was mentioned on the company’s website, confirming that it shouldn’t be too far now.

OnePlus just announced a partnership with Google Stadia, which is a cloud gaming service that allows users to play high-end games on any device without the need to download any data or application. Eligible users in Germany, France and the United Kingdom will be able to claim a Stadia Premiere Edition (Stadia Controller and Chromecast Ultra) for free, when purchased during the promotion period.

As spotted by Android Police in the FAQ section (deleted now), the OnePlus Nord 2 was listed as an eligible device for this offer, alongside other flagships from 2020 and 2021. This slip-up was the first official mention of the device. Considering that the offer is already live on the other phones when purchased from OnePlus’ website, the Nord 2 unveiling must indeed be close.

This development falls in lines with previous rumours, which pointed to a June announcement. Additionally, leakster Mukul Sharma aka Stufflistings says that two OnePlus smartphones will launch this month, on June 10 and June 25. While the dates could change by a bit, these are expected to be the entry-level Nord CE and the Nord 2 respectively.

The OnePlus Nord 2 will be an affordable alternative to the premium flagship devices, by offering a different chipset and slightly lower specs while retaining the essentials such as a clean software experience, fast charging and a high refresh rate display. Earlier reports state that it will be powered by the Dimensity 1200 chipset, making it the first OnePlus smartphone to opt for a MediaTek processor.

Apart from that, we expect to see an AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 65W Warp charging, extensive 5G support and a bevy of colour options. If the slated timelines are true, we should see OnePlus start with the teasers one of these days.
