This technical detail, with related resolutions, led Max Weinbach to underline su Twitter the obvious similarities between the chatted OnePlus Nord and another existing smartphone: Realme X50 Pro 5G. Net of the fact that the brands in question always proclaim their originality and independence, the close family relationship is there for all to see: both are headed by the giant parent company BBK Electronics.

The new OnePlus should mount an AMOLED display with 90 Hz refresh rate and double hole at the top for the two front cameras. On the back there is also talk of four cameras.
However, OnePlus Nord will be a lower-end smartphone than the mentioned Realme and this different positioning translates into the only one downgrade technician known so far: while Realme X50 Pro 5G has a Mobile Platform Qualcomm Snapdragon 865, the announced spiritual heir of OnePlus One will have to settle for a (still excellent) Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G.
