OnePlus Nord design revealed in a new video on YouTube

OnePlus Nord will be unveiled on July 21 but that hasn’t stopped the company from sharing tidbits about its upcoming affordable smartphone through episodic documentaries premiering on Instagram and feature reveals as we near the launch date. Now, in an exclusive interview to MKBHD, Carl Pei, Co-founder of OnePlus showed-off the final design of the OnePlus Nord in two colours, grey/black and teal.

In the video, Pei shows different design prototypes of the Nord before getting to final confirmed design that will be making its way to India soon. OnePlus Nord’s design has previously been leaked along with a set of Creator cases made specifically for the Nord. 

OnePlus Nord has a curved back with a vertical camera module situated on the top-left corner and the OnePlus logo in the centre. Pei notes that the design for the Nord was “changed really late in the process” which could be one of the reasons for the phone’s delayed launch.

Pei also revealed that the OnePlus Nord will not come with an official IP certification due to cost-cutting to make it more affordable. Additionally, he confirmed that the Nord won’t have a 3.5mm audio jack which is something that’s been rumoured ever since the leaked design renders.

On the front, there is a dual punch-hole cutout which houses the two selfie cameras, one of them being a wide-angle camera, as revealed earlier today. The phone seems to borrow certain design elements from the OnePlus 8 series such as the vertical camera module and tapered edges that make it consistent with other OnePlus phones.

The video interview also saw Pei using a teal colour wireless earbuds which could be the upcoming OnePlus Buds.
