OnePlus Nord design officially teased, Snapdragon 765G confirmed

OnePlus has officially teased the design of its upcoming OnePlus Nord affordable smartphone. After revealing the name of a new lineup alongside the OnePlus 8 series, OnePlus has been slowly revealing key features of its much-anticipated smartphone that’s slated to launch sometime this month. 

The OnePlus Nord page on Amazon India was updated with a new teaser image, revealing the design of the upcoming phone. While the picture is blurry in nature, it does tell us that the OnePlus Nord is going to feature a rectangular camera module on the back, tucked away in the top-left corner, along with an LED flash. There’s the OnePlus logo in the centre with the world “OnePlus” imprinted on the bottom. 

Additionally, the company has revealed that it's going to give fans a sneak-peek into the features of the OnePlus Nord and as part of the first reveal, the company has confirmed that the phone is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G chipset. This has previously been confirmed by the company separately in an exclusive interview, but it's only now that OnePlus has officially revealed this.

OnePlus Nord has also been confirmed to feature dual punch-hole cutouts for the two selfie cameras on the front. As a part of the marketing hype, OnePlus opened 100 pre-orders for the OnePlus Nord on Amazon India earlier this week that got sold out in a matter of seconds. 

OnePlus Nord leaked specifications

OnePlus Nord is rumoured to feature a 6.55-inch Full HD+ (2400 x 1080 pixels) AMOLED screen with a 90Hz high-refresh-rate. The leaks have indicated that the phone could have a dual punch-hole cutout in the corner for the selfie camera.

The phone will reportedly be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G chipset with an octa-core processor and Adreno 620 GPU. This is paired with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage and there could be more variants as well.

The OnePlus Nord could come with a triple camera setup on the back that consists of a primary 64MP camera, a 16MP ultra-wide-camera and a 2MP macro lens. On the front, there is a 32MP primary camera supported by an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera for selfies.

It is rumoured to be fitted with a 4,300mAh battery with support for 30W fast charging out-of-the-box. Carl Pei even suggested the phone could be priced as much as the original OnePlus One, which launched at around Rs 22,000.

Is PUBG Mobile Chinese Your questions answered

As the tensions between India and China mount, India banned 59 apps developed by Chinese developers. However, one major name escaped government scrutiny is, PUBG Mobile. So is the game Chinese or South Korean? Let’s try and answer some of your burning questions. 

Why wasn’t PUBG Mobile banned in India?

To be honest, we don’t really know for sure. Most speculation suggests that it was because PUBG Mobile isn’t exactly Chinese. Pretty sure most of you already know this, but just to recap, PlayerUnknown’s Battle Grounds was developed and published by the PUBG Corporation, which is a subsidiary of Krafton Inc, which is based out of Seongnam, South Korea. 

So PUBG Mobile isn’t Chinese?

Errrrrmm… Not exactly. Here’s where things get a little murky. You see, the PC and console version of the game seems to be wholly developed by PUBG Corporation. This is evident when you check out the developer/publisher names on the game’s Steam, Xbox and PlayStation store listings. 

However, PUBG Mobile is a different story, if you check out the developer listing on Google Play or the Apple App Store, you’ll see Tencent’s name right up there. And this is where the confusion starts. You see, Tencent is as Chinese as they get, and the company not only has the rights to publish the PC version of the game in China, but they also have the second-largest stake in Bluehole, the company that initially developed PUBG. 

So PUBG Mobile is Chinese?

Errrrmm…. Not exactly. While PUBG Mobile does seem to be published/developed by Tencent, the game itself as a whole can be considered South Korean. So it’s semantics really.

Should I uninstall PUBG Mobile?

Let’s put it this way. Do you really want someone else telling you what you should be doing in your life? PUBG Mobile seems to be perfectly OK in the eyes of the Indian government (at least for now) and that should be good enough for you too. However, if you think that PUBG Mobile’s connections with Tencent make it “too Chinese” for your taste, then go ahead and uninstall it. In the words of Captain Planet, “The power is yours!”
