OnePlus confirms facts about Nord 2 5G but doesn’t unveil much
In fact, the device had been indirectly confirmed the day before, when OnePlus announced in the same forum that the Nord 2 will be powered by a MediaTek processor. The chip in question is the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 and OnePlus claims that they worked with MediaTek through their Dimensity Open Resource Architecture to push the limits of the processor and bring AI-based features to the Nord 2.
The Open Resource Architecture allows manufacturers to adapt their MediaTek chipsets to their specific needs, in the case of OnePlus they tailored it to maximize AI capabilities. OnePlus calls this new version of the processor the MediaTek Dimensity 1200-AI. While OnePlus claims that this is their first device with a MediaTek chipset, the standard version of this processor is already used by a variety of devices from its parent company Oppo.
