Early OnePlus Nord 2T unboxing video spills every last detail

A recent unboxing video posted to YouTube showcases the OnePlus Nord 2T in its entirety. The video details everything from the minutia of its technical specs to a demonstration of its camera to what fans can expect from taking the phone out of the box itself. The post is a curious piece of the Nord 2T puzzle because the phone hasn’t even been officially announced yet.

Because such little concrete information is known about the Nord 2T, the video, posted to YouTube by mobile tech reviewer Sahil Karoul, answers plenty of questions that fans have had about the smartphone. A lot of the rumors that have been circulating about the 2T were confirmed by the video. Although it isn’t in English, the technical specs appear on-screen as Karoul discusses them, providing a solid look at what fans can expect from the device.

The Nord 2T seems to have some pretty great specs for its rumored $400 price tag. According to the video, it’ll use the new Dimensity 1300 chipset, feature 8 to 12GB of RAM, and offer 128 to 256GB of internal storage.

In terms of its display, the video shows off the Nord 2T’s nearly bezel-less 6.43-inch Fluid AMOLED screen that supports HDR10+ and has a resolution of 1080x2400p. The smartphone allows users to switch its refresh rate between 60 and 90Hz through settings.

Cameras are a huge selling point for smartphones and the Nord 2T seems to be delivering on that front as well. The front-facing “hole punch” camera is a 32-megapixel lens located towards the top left corner of the screen. The back of the phone features three cameras, one 8MP ultra-wide lens, one 2MP monochrome lens, and a 50MP lens to serve as the primary camera.

In addition to the phone, the Nord 2T package will include an 80-watt wall charger and an opaque gel case.

It’s a little curious that Karoul was able to get his hands on an unannounced product, especially one so hotly anticipated, but the unboxing video also gives fans the notion that an official announcement of the Nord 2T will be coming soon. It’s been predicted that a reveal would come sometime in May, with a release shortly following, so seeing the phone physically in someone’s hands has turned a lot of heads in OnePlus’ direction.

This is the OnePlus Watch 2, and it looks incredible
Black and green variants of the OnePlus Watch 2.

OnePlus has just dropped the first official look at its upcoming smartwatch ahead of the official reveal later this month at Mobile World Congress 2024. But more than looks, what really caught our attention was the brand’s bold claims about battery life.

“With up to 100-hour battery life in Smart Mode, it sets a new industry standard, ensuring that your watch keeps pace with your life, uninterrupted,” says the company. Now, that’s a rather ambitious claim, irrespective of the operating system  that powers the watch.

New OnePlus budget phone comes packing 2 super-rare features
OnePlus Nord N30 5G rear face.

OnePlus has introduced a new budget-priced phone for the U.S. market that includes some compelling hardware -- and a couple of rare conveniences. The OnePlus Nord N30 5G will set you back by $300 and is already up for preorders in the U.S., with a free pair of earbuds in tow. 
Starting with the standout tricks, this phone comes with a microSD slot for storage expansion. It supports cards with up to 1TB storage capacity, which should be plenty if you are into capturing a lot of videos and high-resolution videos. Just keep in mind that microSD cards of 1TB capacity from reputed brands could cost as much as the phone itself.

Another notable perk is the presence of a 3.5mm headphone jack on the OnePlus Nord N30 5G. You don’t have to fork out extra cash on a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter or splurge on a Bluetooth audio wearable. However, there is more to this OnePlus phone than meets the eye, as some of its hardware perks defy its asking price by a huge margin. 
You are greeted by a 6.7-inch Full HD+ (2400 x 1080 pixels) display with a 120Hz refresh rate. For comparison, Apple will charge you $800 for the iPhone 14 Plus, but it still keeps you limited to a slow 60Hz LCD screen. And there is no ugly notch to be seen here, as the selfie camera is neatly housed inside a dot-shaped cutout at the top. 
Qualcomm’s octa-core Snapdragon 695 chipset powers this phone, paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of onboard storage. The battery capacity is also fairly generous at 5,000 mAh. Plus, you get support for 50-watt fast charging. OnePlus ships the fast charger in the retail package, just in case you’re irked by the bad precedent set by the thousand-dollar phones from Apple and Samsung.
