The Nord features a 48 MP primary sensor, similar to the one found in the OnePlus 8, equipped with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) to capture photos and videos without blur or camera shake.
It intelligently removes unwanted noise and sharpens recordings in challenging lighting conditions, such as bright sunlight. For clear shots after dark, Nightscape captures up to nine different images in low light with varying exposures, stitching them together for clearer, brighter, and more dramatic photos.
The primary front camera of the OnePlus Nord can record in 4K at 60 frames per second, ensuring every single image is a brilliant selfie.
The 90 Hz display makes it hard to look at anything else. Scrolling is smoother, transitions are faster, and everything responds better—once you experience 90 Hz, there's no turning back.
The Nord comes with OxygenOS 10.5 pre-installed, featuring all the expected functionalities such as dark theme, gesture navigation, and Zen mode. It also includes Google's communication apps—Messages, Dialer, and Duo—for a seamless, convenient, and secure user experience.
The display has 2048 automatic brightness levels, providing smoother brightness transitions and increased eye comfort, whether scrolling through social media or browsing a beautifully designed product page.
Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G 5G, the Nord offers improved CPU speeds and a 30% faster graphics display. With up to 12GB of RAM, the Nord can run all your favorite apps simultaneously without slowing down.
While 5G may not be available yet, the Nord is ready to support all the possibilities of 5G as soon as it becomes accessible.
