In keeping with the company’s unorthodox tradition, OnePlus left little to chance in the lead-up to the imminent release of its first mid-range smartphone since 2015, gradually revealing everything from the… existence of a new “affordable” product line to the unconventional Nord name and a series of key specifications and selling points.

That’s unlikely to be the case for a pair of freshly leaked renders published by the unstoppable force that is Evan Blass, aka @evleaks, which showcase both the front and back of the 5G-enabled OnePlus Nord in great detail with an undoubtedly high degree of accuracy and credibility.

Six cameras in total

Still, the company has repeatedly promised to deliver a premium imaging experience on a tight budget, and with a 48MP primary snapper, 8MP wide-angle lens, 5MP macro sensor, and 2MP portrait cam on its back, it sounds like the OnePlus Nord 5G will be able to keep that promise. Don’t forget about optical image stabilization and the very intriguing dual selfie shooter system reportedly composed of 32 and 8MP sensors.

While unsurprisingly similar to the OnePlus 8 series, the first member of the Nord family looks set to move the rear camera module from the middle to the left side, with the LED flash to the right. That’s not necessarily a good or bad move, but simply something to help differentiate the mid-ranger from the company’s newest flagship handsets. 

Although we can’t be sure of that just by looking at a leaked render (especially with a clear case on top), something tells us the OnePlus Nord 5G will rock a plastic rear cover to save costs compared to the shiny glass-made OP8 and 8 Pro.
