OnePlus Nord 2T Leaked Renders Reveal Refreshed Design, Camera Layout; How Soon Is It Launching?

OnePlus initially started its innings in the mobile space with its value flagship phones but gradually shifted its product lineup towards the premium category. However, the company has introduced a separate premium mid-range smartphone lineup dubbed Nord for the masses. This year, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 arrived as the newest member in the Nord series. The next model that OnePlus will be adding to the Nord lineup will be the Nord 2T. The rumor mill has started churning out the details with the latest one being in the form of full renders. Is OnePlus improving its game with the mobile design? Let’s find out:

OnePlus Nord 2T 5G Official Looking Renders Leak

OnePlus is now gearing up to launch the “T” variant of the second-generation Nord smartphone. The upcoming model will be called the Nord 2T whose full renders have been leaked by OnsiteGo in association with tipster Yogesh Brar. Going by the renders, it is evident that OnePlus is redesigning the new generation Nord smartphones entirely. A unique camera module on the OnePlus Nord 2T’s rear panel is the best example of the same.

The square camera module on the upper left corner has one large camera sensor and a similar-sized circular frame right below housing one tiny sensor and an LED flash. The Nord 2T’s back panel can be seen with a single-tone paint job and the OnePlus logo at the center.  

Thankfully, this OnePlus Nord phone won’t come void of the alert slider as is the case with the Nord CE 2 Lite. But the Nord 2T’s alert slider is repositioned on the left panel along with the power key. The rest of the OnePlus Nord 2T 5G design is familiar to the standard OnePlus Nord 2 and the other recent Nord series smartphones.

The Nord 2T’s front panel is tall and has narrow bezels on all sides. The leaked renders show a tiny punch-hole placed at the upper left corner of the display. The color options tipped for the Nord 2T are black and blue which is standard across the Nord series since the beginning.  

OnePlus Nord 2T Leaked Specifications

The OnePlus Nord 2T leaked specifications include the new generation MediaTek Dimensity 1300 processor and up to 12GB LPDDR5 RAM. Just to recap, the standard OnePlus Nord 2 has the previous-gen Dimensity 1200 AI processor under the hood. So, OnePlus is not just revamping the Nord 2T’s design but also the key specifications.

The leaks have also detailed the OnePlus Nord 2T’s display and camera specifications which aren’t much different compared to its predecessor. The Nord 2T will feature a triple rear camera setup where the primary lens would be a 50MP Sony IMX766 lens with OIS (Optica Image Stabilization). The Nord 2T 5G’s camera hardware will have an additional 8MP Sony IMX355 ultrawide lens and a 2MP monochrome camera.  

The Nord 2T’s selfie snapper is also the same as the Nord 2, i.,e, a 32MP Sony IMX709 lens. The display tipped for the Nord 2T is a 6.43-inch FHD+ AMOLED panel with a 90Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ certification. The Nord 2T will be powered by a 4,500 mAh battery that will get 80W fast wired charging support.

OnePlus Nord 2T Price In India, Official Launch Date

The OnePlus Nord 2T price in India has been leaked earlier. The new generation Nord smartphone is said to be launched under Rs, 35,000 in India. The exact Nord 2T variants and their pricing are yet to be revealed. Currently, neither OnePlus nor the leaks have given any exact timeline for the Nord 2T India launch. However, we will keep you posted on its availability. Until then, you can follow the GizNext Tech Enthusiast Telegram group and GizNext Tech Enthusiast WhatsApp group for fresh technology updates.

Mivi Octave 3 Bluetooth Speaker Review: Just Another Face In The Crowd?

Audio accessories are all hype in the Indian market specifically wireless audio devices such as speakers and headphones. And when you step out to buy a new wireless speaker you are flooded with options to choose from. We have seen a rising trend amongst the homegrown brands debuting into the audio market. Mivi is one of the Indian digital accessories brands that gradually expanded the lineup of its audio products. The company has marked a strong presence across the budget audio market.

One of the recent offerings by Mivi for the Indian audience is the Octave 3 wireless speaker. This latest Octave-series Bluetooth speaker is launched at Rs. 1,999 in India. You get several varieties of speakers under Rs. 2,000 price bracket in India but what gives the Octave 3 an edge over the others? Well, we have tested the latest MiVi Octave Bluetooth speaker’s performance and are breaking down all the pointers in this review article.

Pros And Cons

Pros

  • Sturdy form factor
  • Good bass output
  • Powerful battery backup

Cons

  • A bit hefty to hold
  • Audio clarity is not good at higher volumes

Mivi Octave 3 Bluetooth Speaker: Practical Design?

The Mivi Octave 3 is launched as a portable Bluetooth speaker which from the first look highlights its outdoor-favored design. The Octave 3 wireless speaker has a cylindrical form factor. But it’s not a bland look that you get. A metallic speaker grill wrapping throughout the length and rubber padding on the top and bottom is what gives the sturdy feel. It might feel a bit bulky to hold, so a table placement would be apt. The passive bass radiators on both ends of the speaker will definitely grab your eye.

Specifically; when any audio is playing and you see the radiators vibrating with each beat or thump. Before we dive into the Mivi Octave 3’s audio performance, let’s quickly discuss the remaining design aspect. A small rubber strip is placed on the speaker body that houses all the control keys and also the slot for AUX and USB Type-C port.

The slot has a rubber seal protection against water. Speaking of which, the Mivi Octave 3 Bluetooth speaker features a dust and splashproof design making it apt for outdoor ventures. The non-removable strap on the top of the keys makes it easy to carry around. A tiny LED is placed at the bottom that notifies when the speaker is paired with any device.

Mivi Octave 3 Speaker Audio Performance: Small Package Yet Powerful

The MiVi Octave 3 is a portable Bluetooth speaker but is packed with big 16W drivers. I had a decent experience with its audio delivery. You definitely get the urge to turn up the volume to the max just to see the passive radiators thumping with every drop in the song. While the bass levels are good, you might be disappointed with the audio distortion at the highest levels.

The clarity isn’t as good as you get with 50- 70 percent volume levels. The loudness level is decent for a small or medium-sized room. When outdoors or in open spaces, you would have to keep the speaker at closer proximities to enjoy your favorite tracks. The MiVi Octave 3 also has 360-degree stereo surround support.

Now, there is no dedicated key or mode that you can switch to for this feature. It’s rather is a built-in feature that starts functioning as soon as you hit the play tab. We couldn’t figure out if it made any marginal changes to the audio delivery. It would have been easier for us to compare the audio output if there were an option to toggle between the standard and 360-degree audio profiles.

Mivi Octave 3: Connectivity, Battery Backup

The Mivi Octave 3 is equipped with both wireless as well wired connectivity support. It uses Bluetooth technology and a standard pairing process for wireless connectivity with smartphones, tablets, laptops, and PCs. It also has an AUX port for wired connections.

You can use standard AUX cables for the same. As for the battery, Mivi hasn’t specified the size. However, the claims are around 8 hours on a single charge. If you are playing this speaker at 50 percent volumes, the backup is close to what the company claims. It drops to 6- 7 hours if the volume levels are highest.

Mivi Octave 3 Final Verdict: Worth A Buy?

The MiVi Octave 3 is an intuitively designed Bluetooth speaker. The bass-emphasis design is one of the biggest highlights. But audio is not entirely the strongest forte of the Octave 3. The audio muffle at higher levels is where it misses out on being the perfect buy under Rs. 2,000. But we believe is room for improvements which we will get to see with the next generation Octave speakers.
