[Exclusive] OnePlus Nord 2T render shows off sandstone rear panel, unique rear camera module

OnePlus Nord 2T design revealed

OnePlus Nord 2T has a unique rear design with a sandstone finish and a rather large camera module. The phone appears to have a Black sandstone finish on the back, going back to the original OnePlus One and OnePlus 2 Sandstone Black days. The camera module, however, has a blue-colour matt finish. There are two circular rings within the module. While the top ring has a rather large primary sensor, the bottom ring houses dual cameras. There are two LED cutouts beside the camera rings. Earlier reports have suggested the phone will come with a plastic frame.

While the front design is under wraps, sources have informed us the OnePlus Nord 2T will look familiar, with a punch-hole camera on the top left corner to accommodate the selfie snapper. That’s pretty much it about the phone in terms of design.
