A new leak confirms that the OnePlus Nord 2 will house MediaTek’s Dimensity 1200 chipset inside. In this way, the processor firm continues to grow in a field previously dominated by Qualcomm and which demonstrates the good performance offered by the chipset manufacturer’s Dimensity processor line.
So yes, OnePlus Nord 2 will indeed run on the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 processor. Have spotted the 8GB RAM variant of the device on the AI Benchmarking platform.
