The OnePlus Nord 2 appears to be a renamed Realme X9 Pro rumored to debut alongside Realme X7. The Realme phone is speculated to have two different variants one for the Chinese market with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC and the other for global markets with MediaTek Dimensity 1200. OnePlus Nord 2 is expected to be the renamed version of the latter. However, there may be some differences on the software front as the OnePlus phone is likely to run OxygenOS, while the Realme phone is speculated to have an iteration of the Realme UI.
An informant on Weibo reported that the global variant of Realme X9 Pro which would be renamed OnePlus Nord 2 will debut as early as next month. The global model may have some differences from its China-only variant. The first and most important change is the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 SoC on the global model compared to the Snapdragon 870 available on its Chinese counterpart. However, the phones are also rumored to have some tweaks on the part of their displays.
The Chinese whistleblower said the Chinese variant of Realme X9 Pro would feature a curved display, while its global version could have a flat screen. The rest of their specifications may be identical.
However, it is likely that OnePlus will make some small distinctions at its end and will introduce the OnePlus Nord 2 with some design changes compared to the Realme X9 Pro. One of these could be a distinctive shape of the camera module. The OnePlus Nord 2 is rumored to have an LED flash right on the side of its third rear camera sensor. Conversely, Realme X9 Pro is speculated to have the LED flash near the top camera.
The OnePlus Nord 2 could also keep the brand’s iconic alert slider that wouldn’t be a part of the Realme phone.
Both OnePlus Nord 2 and Realme X9 Pro previously claimed to have a 90Hz Super AMOLED display and triple rear camera setup and a 50MP primary sensor. The Realme X9 Pro is also believed to share some similarities with the Oppo Reno 6 Pro + which launched last month.
Importantly, both OnePlus and Realme are subsidiaries of Guangdong-based manufacturer BBK Electronics. This makes it so practical for both brands to opt for rebranding. In the past, OnePlus was assumed to have used hardware considered by Oppo for its Reno phones. OnePlus also recently merged its research and development with Oppo, which introduced Realme as its subsidiary originally in 2018 before turning it into a brand. autonomous.
