OnePlus Nord 2 5G – Unboxing

OnePlus Nord2 5G

It’s new phone unboxing time! This is an exciting one as it is the sequel to the OG OnePlus Nord, a really good phone and one that we rated very highly over the course of our review, back around this time last year. Today I get the chance to unbox the OnePlus Nord 2 5G!!

This phone is hot off the press as it has only just been announced by OnePlus along with some other cool kit.

So here is the unboxing video below.

The phone steps up in terms of design and feel over the previous generation and it has brought some goodies down from the 9 series lineup which is greatly appreciated. A couple of key things that are stand out features for me are the following;

• The display is high quality and high-resolution Panel as before but it does have some added features driven by AI. These are AI Video Enhancement and AI Photo Enhancement
• A new Chipset from Mediatek in the form of the MediaTek Dimensity 1200-AI processor, which has been customised to work the way OnePlus want it to.
• The design has been shaken up to now incorporate a slightly more curved edge to the display making it feel sleeker in  the hand
• A massive 4500 dual battery has been crammed inside the phone to allow longer battery life and faster charging via 65W Warp Charge
• The rear camera has been taken from the 9Series devices as the main camera bringing along all 50MP with it this camera features a Sony IMX766 sensor and optical image stabilization (OIS)
• This time we also have a full fat 5G phone!!

There have also been few other big things that have happened behind the scenes which do affect the OnePlus Nord 2 5G and I guess all future OnePlus phones. OnePlus has become more aligned with its parent company BBK which means that the OS customization is still called OxygenOS but it now has some very heavy influences from Realme and Oppo in some of the layouts and features. This will become evident in the review process especially if you have been keeping up with our recent reviews of Realme devices.

Anyway, that is enough waffle for the time being here are some more shots of the phone from the press release from today’s event.
