It measures 160 x 73.8 x 8.1mm (roughly) and will also feature the company’s signature alert slider.
The device was spotted on the AI benchmark website with a MediaTek Dimensity 1200 SoC. The phone listed on the website had 8GB of RAM as well. It is expected to sport a 6.43-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate and an optical in-display fingerprint sensor.
If reports are to be believed, the Nord 2 will feature a 50MP Sony IMX766 primary camera, coupled with an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and another 2MP sensor. For selfies, it could feature a 32MP shooter inside the punch-hole notch. The phone could also pack a 4,500mAh battery with 30W fast charging support.
