OnePlus also provided some context that it first added the 90Hz display with 135Hz touch sampling on OnePlus 7T.

We are already aware of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G 5G SoC on the device along with a dedicated AI engine. In addition, the company also noted that it will add “up to 12GB” RAM on OnePlus Nord to keep things smooth. Beyond this, the company has also teamed up with Google to integrate Google Comms Suite on the smartphone. This includes the Google Phone app with the Dialer, Google Messages, and Duo. OnePlus Nord is the first smartphone from the company to feature these apps out of the box.

In addition, the smartphone maker also revealed that it has added multiple rubber seals in the device on Instagram. These seals will ensure that OnePlus Nord will stay safe in 30cm of water for about 30 seconds. However, the company discouraged users from doing this willingly.
