OnePlus Nord to feature dual selfie cameras, could launch on July 10 in India

OnePlus Nord, the much rumoured affordable phone by the company is set to feature dual front-facing cameras, a first for OnePlus. While other smartphone manufacturers have played hard and fast with single and dual selfie cameras, OnePlus has almost always strayed away from using two cameras on the front but all that changes with the affordable OnePlus phone, dubbed Nord.

According to an exclusive report by Android Central, the upcoming OnePlus Nord features dual selfie cameras in 32MP + 8MP arrangement. The 8MP camera uses an ultra-wide camera and the dual camera cutout is located in the top-left corner. The report notes that the cutout on the OnePlus phone is “not as wide” as the one on Huawei’s P40 series.

Dual selfie cameras is a departure for the company that used the same selfie camera on its latest OnePlus 8 series of phones as we saw on the OnePlus 7 and 7T series. It would be interesting to see how OnePlus positions this new change in its product line-up and whether or not it gets carried to the flagship phones in the future as well. The upcoming OnePlus phone has been leaked on the Internet previously as the OnePlus Z and OnePlus 8 Lite and the company itself has been dropping hints about it on a new Instagram account.
