OnePlus Nord.

OnePlus Nord 2 earlier smartphones were known as the flagship killers. This was because OnePlus smartphones came with all high-end specs of flagships like iPhones, Samsung S-Series & Note-Series, and Huawei P-Series & Mate-Series, but at half the price. But over time, OnePlus raised the prices of their smartphones that now they cost almost the same as the other flagships. With OnePlus Nord, OnePlus is going back to its roots.

OnePlus Nord 2 5G Camera Details

The main 50MP camera on OnePlus Nord 2 5G is the dominant rear camera able to take good pictures in normal light with amazing detailing. Due to the size of the lens, photos taken by the camera contain more pixels bring in the details. This enables you to zoom in and still be able to pick details clearly or crop the images multiple times before you start losing quality. The intelligent camera also removes unwanted noise from your photo so that it looks sharp, clear, and bright. The camera also comes with Nightscape that lets you take bright, clear images at night. Nightscape works by taking 9 different photos at the same time and then combines them to produce the perfect photo.

The 8MP ultrawide camera takes ultra-wide-angle photos. A normal camera has a limited angle that is not suitable for taking wide photos. With an ultrawide camera, you get to take wide photos that fit in more subjects. So when the time comes to take group photos or wide scenic photos, the OnePlus Nord 2 has you covered.

The depth camera blurs out the background, which can be distracting, and makes the subject pop out more. With the subject the main focus of attention, you get to take beautiful portrait photos like a professional.

The 2MP macro camera is for taking close-ups of tiny details. The macro camera lets you move your device up to 2cm of the subject to take clear detailed photos. This is a fit a normal camera lens can’t achieve since the closer you move your smartphone to your subject, the more blurry the image gets.

Dual Front Camera.

Dual front cameras are reserved for high-end smartphones. OnePlus Nord2  goes against the norm by having a 32MP(wide) + 8MP(ultrawide) dual-camera at the front. With a large 32MP camera lens that comes with advanced image processing, every selfie taken is clear, bright, and highly detailed allowing you to crop them to your heart’s content.
