‘OnePlus Nord CE is the Nord successor, contains Dimensity 1200 chipset’
OnePlus’ Nord was one of the most popular midrange phones in 2020. A successor to the Nord is still waiting. First details of the Nord smartphone may have been leaked on Friday. This concerns details about the chipset used, as well as the naming of the phone.
OnePlus Nord CE
Rumors about the OnePlus Nord successor have been circulating for quite some time. Previously, images leaked out of the phone, which at the time was still known as the OnePlus Nord 2, which showed a ‘familiar design’. In addition to the design, the flow of rumors remained limited: specifications of the phone are scarce to date. A message from rumor maker Digital Chat Station on Weibo changed that on Friday.
Dimensity 1200 chipset
The message from the usually well-informed rumor maker states that OnePlus is working on “a phone that runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 chipset. Which phone is not in the message. Given the accumulating rumor pile for the Nord successor, it seems logical that this MediaTek chipset will be used for the upcoming Nord phone. A tweet from Mukul Sharma, which more often leaks details of upcoming phones, states that the chipset in the OnePlus Nord 2 or Nord CE is used.

For the time being, it is a matter of coffee grounds to see whether OnePlus will actually get started with the MediaTek chip. It is not the first time that rumors have stated that OnePlus wants to use a MediaTek chipset for a Nord phone. It was expected that the OnePlus Z would integrate a Dimensity 1000 chipset. In the end, OnePlus opted for the Snapdragon 765G chipset and it remained unknown whether tests were actually carried out with MediaTek chipsets.
Should OnePlus deploy the Dimensity 1200, users can count on performance comparable to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870, which performs almost on a par with the Snapdragon 865 Plus. That would be a significant step forward in performance for the Nord range. It is unknown whether this step forward in general performance will also lead to higher prices for the Nord 2 or Nord CE.
Nord 2 or Nord CE
Rumors have not yet decided exactly what OnePlus will name the phone. Evan Blass managed to find out that OnePlus on its support website has added a ‘reference’ to the Nord CE. Whether it is the Nord successor is not confirmed by the rumor maker. Max Jambor previously indicated that the Nord CE is a successor to the Nord N10 5G. As a result, it will remain unknown for the time being what the Nord successor will actually be called.
It is expected that more will be known about the OnePlus Nord 2 or OnePlus Nord CE in mid-June. Until then, it is important to take the above rumors with a grain of salt. While the details come from reputable rumors, the details have not been confirmed and some details may remain incorrect. In conclusion: what do you think, will OnePlus use a MediaTek chipset for the Nord series this year, or will it stay with Qualcomm? Let us know in the comments at the bottom of the article.
