OnePlus fans in the US dying to get their hands on a more affordable smartphone might not have to wait much longer. That said, they may not get the original OnePlus Nord experience that was announced a few months ago either, though that shouldn’t come as a surprise for now. It’s not all bad though, because if this latest leak drop is to be believed, the OnePlus Nord N10 5G might offer a better package than the first OnePlus Nord.
It is still unclear what led OnePlus to decide not to launch the first Nord in the US He said the OnePlus Nord is a family of phones, not a single model, and that it would eventually release one of those versions in the US. The date of that launch is still unknown at this time, but this one called OnePlus Nord N10 5G is already shaping up to be an interesting mid-range device.
It was rumored before that it would work with a Snapdragon 690, the first Qualcomm chip in the 6 series to be packaged with a 5G modem. Android Central’s source confirms that detail, but also adds a few more specs like 6GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and a 6.49-inch 90Hz FHD + display.
While the processor may seem like a downgrade, the same source also points to a major camera upgrade. Unless the OnePlus 8T has it too, the OnePlus Nord N10 5G could be the first from the company to sport a 64-megapixel camera. This will reportedly be joined by an 8MP wide-angle camera and two 2MP sensors.
Even better, the OnePlus could target a price below $ 400 for the Nord N10 5G, which would be cheaper than the original Nord. That said, the report also hints at a less than $ 200 phone in the near future from OnePlus, which could give some potential buyers a reason to wait a while.
