The OnePlus Nord’s selfie camera might be taking a page out the Pixel playbook
August 22, 2025
As theOnePlus 8andOnePlus 8 Procontinue the company’s upward trajectory towards the premium segment, there has been an affordable-sized hole in its lineup. It’s been known for a while that the company is getting ready to reveal a new, affordable smartphone called theOnePlus Nordthat will compete in the mid-range segment.
Leaked renders and specifications have given us a good idea of what to expect from the phone, but it seems like the company still has a few tricks up its sleeve. A fresh leak fromAndroid Centralalleges that the OnePlus Nord will be the first device from the company to sport dual cameras at the front.
The combination of a 32MP primary sensor and an 8MP wide-angle module should help the device stand out in the particularly crowded mid-range segment. More so in key markets like India whereOnePlus gets most of its sales. The company recently took to Instagram to start building hype around thelaunch.
The switch to a dual-camera module is interesting considering that the company hasn’t dabbled with the solution even in its high-end range. But we’ve seen dual selfie cameras on phones from OnePlus stablemateRealmeas well as thePixel 3series. OtherOnePlus Z rumorssuggest that the rear set-up will be pretty compelling too with quad cameras on offer.
With a Snapdragon 765G chipset and 90Hz AMOLED panel rounding off the package, the OnePlus Nord is shaping up to be a very competent device but will have to fend off competition from the likes of therealme X3and Xiaomi’s Redmi series that compete in the same price range.
