The OnePlus Nord is confirmed to be powered by the Snapdragon 765G. The Snapdragon 765G is Qualcomm’s first chipset with an integrated 5G modem. In terms of hierarchy, it’s the most powerful mid-range SoC offered by Qualcomm, right now.
The OnePlus Nord is probably 2020’s most hyped smartphone with the company talking about a new beginning with the new lineup, one where they remain true to their ‘never settle’ mantra, but also make things affordable at the same time. While we still don’t have a confirmed launch date for the phone, OnePlus CEO Carl Pei just confirmed the phone will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G.
In an interview with TechRadar UK, Carl Pei confirmed that the mid-tier chipset from Qualcomm is going to be the one powering the new smartphone.
“We’ve been looking at the mid-range smartphone market for a while. It’s just that we felt like the technology wasn’t really there to be able to create a mid-range product that also lives up to our ‘Never Settle’ philosophy. But we’re pretty confident that this time around the OnePlus Nord will do just that,” Pei said in the interview.
The Snapdragon 765G is Qualcomm’s first chipset with an integrated 5G modem. It also sits right below the flagship Snapdragon 865 and borrows a host of flagship features from the chipsets in the 8-series.
