Preface
The OnePlus Nord 2T 5G is the latest entry in the company’s midrange smartphone series. This is the first smartphone in the Nord series with a T brand that was previously reserved exclusively for the mainline OnePlus phone.
As we’ve seen in the past, the OnePlus T model is just a minor upgrade to the non-T model and isn’t meant to be a full-fledged successor. However, the Nord 2T 5G arrives almost a year after the Nord 2 5G’s launch, so it’s acceptable to think this would be a more important upgrade, but it’s not.

The Nord 2T 5G has three notable changes compared to its predecessor. The look on the back has been slightly modified to include two new colors and finishes. The new model also comes with the latest MediaTek Dimensity 1300 chipset. And finally, the fast charge was upgraded to 80W.
Other than that, we are considering a smartphone that is almost the same as the Nord 25G. Let’s continue the review so that it doesn’t get in the way.
Unpacking OnePlus Nord2T
The Nord 2T 5G package includes a phone, a new 80W Super VOOC quick charger, and a USB 2.0 cable. At the end of the cable is a USB-A port that connects to the charger.
The 80W Super VOOC Charger only supports fast charging of OnePlus and Oppo devices. There is no USB-PD support as found on the 65W charger that comes with the Nord 2 5G.
Apart from that, there is also a transparent silicone case inside the box. The Indian package also comes with a Nord branded sticker and a OnePlus Red Cable Club membership card.
