OnePlus Nord 2T was announced today by OnePlus. The device will be on sale from July 5, 2022. The company unveiled the device through a simple announcement without too much hassle. It’s worth noting that the OnePlus Nord 2 is still being sold in India and there isn’t a huge discount on it despite the near availability of the Nord 2T. If you are considering buying a smartphone under Rs 35,000, the OnePlus Nord 2 and Nord 2T both become viable options. But which one should you go for now? Let’s find out.
OnePlus Nord 2T vs OnePlus Nord 2 specs
Both smartphones have the same 6.43-inch Fluid AMOLED display with support for a refresh rate of 90 Hz. The difference is in the chipset. The Nord 2T comes with the MediaTek Dimensity 1300 SoC, while the Nord 2 comes with MediaTek Dimensity 1200 SoC. OnePlus Nord 2T is of course faster and more powerful, but of course not by a very large margin.
Both devices come with a 4500 mAh battery. But the Nord 2T supports 80W fast charging, while the Nord 2 supports 65W fast charging. The Nord 2T will run on OxygenOS 12.1 out of the box, while OnePlus has already started rolling out the same update for OnePlus Nord 2.
Also in terms of cameras, both devices share the same triple camera setup on the back with a 50MP Sony IMX766 primary sensor, 8MP ultra-wide angle sensor and a 2MP monochrome sensor. For selfies, both smartphones come with the 32MP Sony IMX615 SoC.
In the 5G connectivity department, the Nord 2T supports slightly more 5G bands than the Nord 2, but the difference is negligible. The Nord 2T comes with support for the following 5G bands – 5G SA: 1/3/5/8/28/40/41/78; 5G NSA: 40/41/78.

The OnePlus Nord 2T is available in two variants: 8GB+128GB for Rs 28,999 and 12GB+256GB for Rs 33,999. Users can get a discount of Rs 1,500 if they use an ICICI Bank debit card or credit card.
