Goodbye, obscurity. Hello, slow drip of information over the period of a few weeks.
Having just (literally: yesterday) announced to the world that its upcoming affordable phone, the Nord 2, is real, OnePlus has now given us another tidbit of information: its launch date.
The OnePlus Nord 2 5G (that’s the full name) is officially launching on July 22, at 2:30 p.m. ET. Yes, they could’ve told us that yesterday, but this is so much more exciting…no?
The company didn’t share any new details about the phone, but we know that it’ll have a MediaTek processor with 5G support.
While we’re on the subject of OnePlus, the company also recently admitted it’s been throttling the performance of many popular apps on its OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro phones, shortly after Anandtech discovered it independently.
In a statement provided to XDA Developers, the company said it was “matching the app’s processor requirements with the most appropriate power” in order to “provide a smooth experience while reducing power consumption.”
For the end user, this means that some apps may be a tad slower than they could be on OnePlus phones, which should save some battery life, but could be disappointing if performance is what you’re after.
