The OnePlus Nord 2 will have the same display as the OG OnePlus

The OnePlus Nord 2 will sport a 6.43-inch AMOLED display with a 90Hz smooth refresh rate, and it will be HDR10+ certified. One difference that will most likely be present here will be the selfie camera. On the OG OnePlus Nord, it is a pill-shaped punch-hole notch, while the OnePlus Nord 2 is expected to rock a circular punch-hole.

Nord 2 comes with a 6.43 inch 90 Hz Fluid AMOLED display that swipes so smooth you’ll think your fingers are dancing ballet. And it’s HDR 10+ certified.

Another thing we know about the OnePlus Nord 2 is the MediaTek Dimensity 1200-AI chipset, which will power the device, in a first for OnePlus phones. Before that, OnePlus phones were always equipped with a chip from Qualcomm.

We also expect the phone to come with a triple-camera setup, with a 50MP Sony IMX766 sensor for the main camera, an 8MP ultra-wide cam, and a 2MP black-and-white sensor, according to recent leaks. On the front, a selfie camera of 32MP is expected. Keeping the lights on will reportedly be a 4,500mAh battery cell. This is an improvement of around 10% in comparison to the OG Nord.

The OnePlus Nord 2 will be announced July 22 for Europe and India, while announcement or release date for the US is still unknown at this point.

Earlier this year, a Xiaomi quad-curved concept phone was demonstrated with an 88° rounded screen and without ports and physical buttons. Xiaomi has been granted a patent for that device and a similar model.

The concept smartphone shown by Xiaomi can be seen in the image below (Model A). In addition, Xiaomi has applied for a patent for an extra advanced model, whereby the screen also goes all the way through in the four corners (Model B). We will go into more detail about this model.

The entire front of this Xiaomi smartphone consists of screen surface. This is a so-called waterfall display, with strongly rounded corners. No edges or notches are visible – even in front of the camera. The rounded screen extends to a large part of the side of the device. This will allow the display surface on the side to be used to display general information, such as battery status, network information, etc.Side touch functionality may also be added.

The front camera will be placed under the screen. Xiaomi is one of the manufacturers that has been developing this new camera technology for quite some time. The company has now arrived at version 3.0.Xiaomi is expected to introduce its first smartphone with under display camera later this year. Also expected in the coming month, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 will most likely feature an under panel camera – as the world’s first foldable smartphone with a selfie camera under the screen.

OnePlus has started teasing its next smartphone, the OnePlus Nord is a 2-by means of social media, and the promise of a big announcement this summer, and confirmed to be an important property for this, that was for the best budget 5G phone, 2021.

The OnePlus Nord 2 5G will be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 1200-AI chipset, which means that the OnePlus one is the introduction of a smart phone available on the market for the first time, without using a Qualcomm processor.

OnePlus has been working closely with MediaTek to extend the capabilities of the standard Dimensity 1200 AI product. The resulting chip set provides a variety of new AI-based features in the Nord-2, and aims to improve the daily experience of the user.

One of the best features is that the camera seems to have a three-camera setup. OnePlus Nord-2 5G contains the AI Photo Enhancement, which can recognize up to 22 different scenes and automatically adjusts the colour and contrast can be adjusted.

AI video enhancement features are also part of the package. These are, among others, live for HDR effects, as well as the automatic adjustment of the shades, the colors, the lighting, and much, much more-during the live recording.

Dimensity 1200 and AI capabilities, possible improvements to the AI-driven view, including those of AI Color-Boost technology is a feature, which is automatically converted to a standard dynamic range to high dynamic range.

With the increase of the AI, the resolution has a different characteristic. As the name suggests, it has increased the resolution of high-definition videos to popular social media apps. Finally, a Smart Ambient Display makes the use of AI to control the brightness of the OnePlus Nord 2, display, depending on the surrounding lighting conditions.

All these wireless technologies use electromagnetic waves to transfer information/data and the Electromagnetic wave’s frequency plays an important role in it. Frequency, in simple words is the energy/data transfer capacity of a wave which means, more the frequency, more the data transfer capacity.

Where 4G generally uses the frequency range from 2Ghz to 8Ghz, 5G can use frequencies beyond 50Ghz. Due to which, in comparison to 4G, 5G can provide many additional benefits such as 100 times fast the current internet speeds through which we would be able to download 2 hr long HD movie in a couple of seconds. driverless cars and Internet of Things (IOT). Through which we would be able to control from light in our homes to appliances via a smartphone.

5G Types

5G could be classified into three types:

1. Low Band,
2. Mid Band and
3. High Band.

Low Band 5G provides High range, which can cover long distances due to their use of low Frequency waves which has a data carrying capacity similar or slightly more than 4G. Meanwhile Mid Band 5g in comparison to Low Band provides more data carrying capacity but less range. Then comes High Band 5g, High 5G speeds of nearly 10 Gbps are possible in this Band only.

To transfer data, High Band 5G uses millimetre waves (mmWaves). These waves are capable of transferring data at blazing fast speeds, but they have a range of 500 metres only! To solve these issues, 5G uses MIMO or Multiple Input Multiple Output Technology , which uses multiple antennas in the broadcasting tower to send and receive multiple input and output signals simultaneously.

Second technology is Beam Forming, in which instead of going in all directions the signal is transmitted directly to the smartphone which increases signal strength and reduces disturbance during signal transmission. Besides this, by using Duplex Technology, 5G could transmit incoming and outgoing signals on the same frequency which will make 5G more efficient.

mmwaves

mmWaves have a very small range because they can be absorbed by nearby trees and buildings. To increase the range, many mini cell towers would have to be installed within a small area, that helps maintain the connection. Due to these requirements, it could take high speed 5G few years to be properly available for the global market.

5G safe?

But one frequently asked question is : “Is 5G safe?” To answer this we would have to understand the concept of Ionizing and Non-ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation like X-Rays, Gamma Rays can be seen in radioactive materials like Uranium and Plutonium. Electromagnetic waves emitted from these materials have very high energy and frequency, therefore they can cause Cancer in Human body.

But 5G uses non-ionizing radiations like Radio-waves and Microwaves, therefore side effects of ionizing radiation could not be seen in most cases. However, these waves have shown the capacity to generate heat. But more research is still awaited in this field of 5G and a lot of new information is expected in the future.
