The OnePlus Nord 2T Smartphone series is selling well, so it’s no surprise that the OnePlus Nord 2 received an update just 9 months later:
The OnePlus Nord 2T inherited the hardware from its predecessor, and the design has changed slightly.
The task of our review is to identify all possible differences in the new model.
According to the spec sheet, the chipset is new, but our further measurements will show that it is almost a complete copy of the OnePlus Nord 2 chip…

Design and Features
The rough gray finish on the back of the OnePlus Nord 2T Smartphone is reminiscent of the first OnePlus smartphones, but still not as tenacious.
The manufacturer clearly wanted to please the fans by bringing back one of the elements of the good old days.
The advantage of the matte back is obvious: unlike the glass of the OnePlus Nord 2, fingerprints and stains are not visible on it.
In addition to the gray color, the smartphone is also available in the Jade Fog version, with a glossy back panel.
The OnePlus Nord 2T Smartphone is slightly easier to handle and lighter than the Moto G200. The case twists a little when pressed, which is a consequence of the use of plastic as a frame material.
However, in general, the design is quite solid and in terms of build quality, we have no complaints.
The smartphone is available in two configurations:
8/128 GB
12/256 GB
As you can see, the price-to-memory ratio has not changed.
High-end smartphone features such as waterproofing and wireless charging are missing, as is an audio jack with a microSD slot.
The USB Type-C port is located on the bottom of the case and only supports the legacy USB 2.0 protocol. However, like its predecessor, Nord 2T supports NFC and Bluetooth 5.2.
The microphone is rather ill-conceived: the hole for it is located near the SIM tray, on the other side of which there is also a hole for removing the plug.
You should be careful not to accidentally mix up the holes when changing SIM cards and not damage the microphone.

Software
The OxygenOS 12.1 shell based on Android 12 is preinstalled on the smartphone from the factory. By the way, this is the first version of OxygenOS, which was developed based on Oppo ColorOS.
The manufacturer, as before, promises to release two major Android updates and update security patches for three years. On the test sample, the system security patch is out of date by two months,
so firmware updates, apparently, will be released quarterly.
Wireless and Navigation
OnePlus Nord 2T Smartphone supports all current and current mobile network standards, including 5G SA. The list of supported 4G bands is wide enough so that you can safely take your smartphone with you abroad.
During the tests, we checked the quality of signal reception several times, and in this regard, OnePlus Nord 2T is in no way inferior to top models.
Wi-Fi 6 is also supported, the speed is about the same as the competition, but the reception is slower than the transmission. At the same time, the indicators are stable.
