Android Central reports that the upcoming OnePlus Nord will be the first from the brand to feature dual front cameras. This is in contradiction to the leaked renders, which showed a single punch-hole cutout on the front, like the recently launched OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro. The new leak suggests that the Nord will feature a 32MP primary camera backed by an 8MP ultra-wide lens. According to the publication, the information comes from an insider source.
Notably, the company has been offering a 16MP sensor on the front for three years, now starting with Sony IMX371 sensor on OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 6 series, and IMX471 on every other device since.

The OnePlus Nord is tipped to come with a punch-hole AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate panel and an in-display fingerprint scanner. The handset is likely to be powered by the Snapdragon 765G processor and will support 5G connectivity. It is expected to have a 4,000mAh battery with support for 30W fast charging. In the optics department, the phone is speculated to offer a triple camera setup with either 48MP or 64MP primary sensor.
Pete Lau has also confirmed that the smartphone will arrive in Europe and India first.
