Hot on the heels of its top tier OnePlus 10 Pro phone and its budget priced Nord CE 2 5G handset comes the OnePlus Nord 2T 5G.
OnePlus Nord 2T 5G takes the beloved flagship essentials of OnePlus Nord 2 and upgrades them to bring an elevated experience to users.
It packs the same flagship 80W Supervooc fast charging that debuted on OnePlus 10 Pro.
It gives the device’s large 4,500 mAh dual-cell battery a day’s power in just 15 minutes, and charges it from 0-100% in just over half an hour – 120% faster than the original OnePlus Nord.

To keep OnePlus Nord 2T safe and cool during the charging process, it has nine built-in temperature sensors to monitor the charging temperature in real time and is TÜV Rheinland certified for safe fast charging and usage.
The new phone’s MediaTek Dimensity 1300 chipset is faster than the impressive Dimensity 1200 chip in Nord 2.
Dimensity 1300 is an octa-core CPU with speeds up to 3 GHz, which the firm said results in great gaming performance, more efficient power consumption, and better temperature control with HyperEngine 5.0.
The MediaTek Dimensity 1300 is accompanied by up to 12 GB of LPDDR4X RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage to ensure OnePlus’ signature fast and smooth experience.
The phone is running OxygenOS 12.1 over Android 12.
Large display
The OnePlus Nord 2T 5G sports a large, 6.43in FHD+ AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support that should make everything from browsing and scrolling to bingeing on Netflix a more pleasurable experience.
The front screen also houses the same 32 MP front-facing camera as the OnePlus 10 Pro, and features electronic image stabilization (EIS) and an AI-deblurring algorithm, which improves the clarity and sharpness of photos and videos.
OnePlus Nord 2T 5G also stacks a powerful camera unit on its rear comprised of a flagship-level 50 MP Sony IMX766 sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS), an 8 MP ultra-wide camera with a 120° field of view, allowing it to capture more of every scene, and a 2MP mono lens.
Coming in at just 8.2 mm in thickness and 190 g in weight, OnePlus Nord 2T 5G feels comfortable in the hand. It comes in two stunning colourways: Gray Shadow and Jade Fog.
“In line with our commitment to making the OnePlus experience more accessible, OnePlus Nord 2T 5G combines excellent hardware and software to push the limits of a great everyday smartphone,” said Pete Lau, Founder of OnePlus.
“With top-tier flagship hardware and burdenless software at a great price – including 80W SUPERVOOC, the MediaTek Dimensity 1300, the Sony IMX766 image sensor with OIS, along with OxygenOS 12.1 – the OnePlus Nord 2T 5G feels more premium than it should.”
OnePlus also announced a lower-priced device Nord CE 2 Lite (€299) and the first Nord earphones which cost only €49.
