OnePlus Nord2 mentioned on the official website, likely to launch before September end

It’s almost been a year since OnePlus’ Nord series debuted in India. There have been a few rumours about upcoming Nord successors and now the 'Nord2' name has seemingly been confirmed on the official website.

Nord2 name was spotted in the FAQ section of a promo that OnePlus is running for select EU nations. The company is offering a free Stadia Premium Edition Bundle that includes a Stadia Premiere Edition controller and Chromecast Ultra in UK, France, and Germany. Buyers are eligible to avail of this offer on several OnePlus phones including the Nord2 before September 30.

This implies that the Nord2 is indeed on its way and should be available for purchase before September end, or at least in regions where the Stadia Premium Edition Promo is running.

A couple of OnePlus Nord phones were also recently spotted on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) website, hinting at imminent India arrival.

OnePlus Nord2 specifications and features

Leaks regarding the Nord2 are quite sparse, but a few rumours claim that it will be the first OnePlus phone to employ a MediaTek SoC, the Dimensity 1200 to be precise.

This is a chipset is based on the 6nm process and features one Cortex-A78 prime core, three Cortex-A78 performance cores, and four Cortex-A55 power cores. The chip supports up to LPDDR4x RAM, Bluetooth 5.2, and Wi-Fi 6. The Realme X7 Max 5G is set to be the first phone with that processor in India.

We had heard similar rumours about OnePlus siding with the Dimensity 1000 for the original Nord, but the phone was ultimately launched with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 765G after all. We will need to wait and watch to find out how things pan out this year. Other than that, the OnePlus Nord2 is expected to take design cues from the OnePlus 9 series.

First ever drone-delivered kidney is no worse for wear

Drone delivery really only seems practical for two things: take-out and organ transplants. Both are relatively light and also extremely time sensitive. Well, experiments in flying a kidney around Baltimore in a refrigerated box have yielded positive results — which also seems promising for getting your pad thai to you in good kit. The test flights were conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland there, led by surgeon Joseph Scalea. He has been frustrated in the past with the inflexibility of air delivery systems, and felt that drones represent an obvious solution to the last-mile problem. Scalea and his colleagues modified a DJI M600 drone to carry a refrigerated box payload, and also designed a wireless biosensor for monitoring the organ while in flight. After months of waiting, their study was assigned a kidney that was healthy enough for testing but not good enough for transplant. Once it landed in Baltimore, the team loaded it into the container and had it travel 14

My product launch wishlist for Instagram, Twitter, Uber and more

‘Twas the night before Xmas, and all through the house, not a feature was stirring from the designer’s mouse . . . Not Twitter! Not Uber, Not Apple or Pinterest! On Facebook! On Snapchat! On Lyft or on Insta! . . . From the sidelines I ask you to flex your code’s might. Happy Xmas to all if you make these apps right. Instagram See More Like This – A button on feed posts that when tapped inserts a burst of similar posts before the timeline continues. Want to see more fashion, sunsets, selfies, food porn, pets, or Boomerangs? Instagram’s machine vision technology and metadata would gather them from people you follow and give you a dose. You shouldn’t have to work through search, hashtags, or the Explore page, nor permanently change your feed by following new accounts. Pinterest briefly had this feature (and should bring it back) but it’d work better on Insta.
