OnePlus 10 Ultra and Nord 2 CE 5G concept renders are here, hinting at more than their design

HIGHLIGHTS

The OnePlus 10 Ultra renders show the device’s rumoured periscope lens.

This Ultra model of the OnePlus 10 lineup could house either the current Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 or the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ which is expected later this year.

Meanwhile, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G could come powered by a Dimensity 900 SoC.

The OnePlus 10 Ultra’s design had been revealed in alleged patent images last week. And based on those sketches, LetsGoDigital has released some concept renders of the device. These pictures reveal the OnePlus 10 Ultra’s purported periscope lens within its extended camera bump, curved punch-holed display on the front, and various buttons by the side including an alert slider. Well, another OnePlus device that won’t be having the alert slider is the soon-to-launch OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G. And the same site has posted some concept renders of this handset too besides reiterating its supposed specs.

So, let’s get on with unfurling these illusory renders of both OnePlus smartphones.

OnePlus 10 Ultra Design and Specs (Expected) 

At first look, the OnePlus 10 Ultra might look a lot similar to the Pro model. Well, it is, but there are differences too, naturally and allegedly. The frontier has got a top-left-seated punch-hole cutout and seemingly narrow bezels.

As for the back, the camera panel melts into the side frame, well, kinda, ‘cause there is a subtle seam. Anyway, the new thing about this arrangement is the rectangular housing for the periscope zoom lens. Now the zooming capability of it is something unclear at the moment. There are rumours of it being 3.3x (like the Pro variant) or even 5x optical (as per the latest concepts). We’ll have to wait for corroboratory evidence.  

Now, the other two cameras could borrow the same 48MP main sensor and a 50MP 150˚ ultrawide sensor. What’s more, the OnePlus 10 Ultra could employ Oppo’s MariSilicon NPU that could impart better dynamic range, noise reduction, improved details, and real-time RAW processing in 4K videos. 

Inside, the Ultra phone is said to either feature a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 or the anticipated successor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus. On top of this, the software could be a ColorOS 12-adjacent OxygenOS 12 in the global markets including India.

Then there are renders of the OnePlus Core Edition phone—

OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G Design and Specs (Expected)

The new concept renders of the Nord CE 2 presents the phone’s alleged 6.43-inch 90Hz FHD+ AMOLED display with HDR10+ certification, 64+8+2MP triple rear cameras with 4K30FPS video capability, and its two colourways viz. Grey Sierra and Green Woods. As for the internals, the site mentions MediaTek Dimensity 900 chipset and 4500mAh battery with 65W charging support.

Meanwhile, the OnePlus 10 Pro is yet to launch in India but its BIS certification has been recently spotted. Also, other OnePlus phones like Nord 2T and Nord CE 2 Lite 5G  are lately making rounds hinting at a sooner than later launch.
