From the moment I was old enough to use technology, I wanted to understand how it worked. I was born in China but ended up travelling the globe, working as a developer to help forge a path forward for meaningful industry innovations. As my love for technology matured, so too did my roles and responsibilities.
Today, I’m the Head of Product for OnePlus Nord. The role has challenged me in ways I never thought possible. But it’s also been the most rewarding of my career.
But enough about me, I want to tell you a little bit about the work myself and the team have done to make sure Nord packs the same Fast and Smooth experience that’s uniquely OnePlus.
Our team is hardworking, passionate, and has incredible expertise. But we just see ourselves as a group of people that care about delivering the best user experience possible. Throughout the development of Nord, we never stopped testing and tweaking every animation and interface element, so it just works the way you expect.
Of course, for a OnePlus device to be Fast and Smooth, it needs a high refresh rate display. We introduced our first 90 Hz display on the OnePlus 7 Pro last year. Since then, we’ve been working relentlessly to optimize our 90 Hz technology for the best user experience. One of the biggest improvements we’ve made has come from the touch response rate we’re able to achieve from our 90 Hz display technology. Touch sampling rate basically measures how fast a screen responds to your every touch, swipe, and scrolling gesture per second.
With Nord, we’ve upped its peak touch sampling rate from 135 Hz on the OnePlus 7T to 180 Hz for specific tasks like gaming, where the timing of every input can decide whether you finally take down a fearsome boss or succumb to its wrath once more.
In simple terms, once you try Nord’s 90 Hz display, there’s no going back.
One of the fundamental reasons OxygenOS feels so fast, smooth, and lightweight is because of our animations. Long story short, we spend a lot of time perfecting the littlest details. In fact, it took three months before we had lock screen animations we could stand behind – in total they last around three seconds, so there’s a chance you might not even notice them at first. But when the average person unlocks their phone over 100 times a day, having seamless animations suddenly becomes critical to delivering a Fast and Smooth experience across the board.
Software optimizations are essential for an incredible user experience. But hardware is just as vital. Nord is powered by the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 765G 5G Mobile Platform that packs powerful CPU speeds, GPU speeds, and has a dedicated AI engine onboard to better performance in a range of scenarios, such as gaming. We’ve also fitted Nord with up to 12 GB of RAM to ensure apps stay in the same place you left them when you’re swiping and scrolling through OxygenOS.
Finally, Nord offers the most seamless, helpful, and safest way to communicate with others thanks to its Google Comms Suite integration. Nord is the first OnePlus phone to come with Messages, Dialer, and Duo out the box.
Nord stays true to the OnePlus name by delivering the same Fast and Smooth experience that’s been a part of our DNA from the very beginning. We can’t wait for you to try it for yourself.
Here’s to New Beginnings.
