- The OnePlus Nord release date, price, and specs will be revealed on Tuesday, but OnePlus is still running an aggressive marketing campaign to promote the handset ahead of its arrival.

Several reports from different sources claim that the Pixel 5 will be Google’s first premium handset not to rock the best possible mobile processor. Google has reportedly chosen the Snapdragon 765 instead of the Snapdragon 865 that powers most of the other Android flagships because of cost considerations. The 765 is cheaper and comes with a built-in 5G modem. I’ve often explained that the 765 will not be able to match the performance of the Galaxy S20 and the OnePlus 8 series. And you can forget about the iPhone 11 or iPhone 12, which will run laps around the Pixel 5. While most people might not notice the performance difference, the optics aren’t excellent for Google. Google moved away from the Nexus to the Pixel to offer hardcore Android buyers a better version of its own iPhone-like device. Compromising on processor could alienate some of those people who want Pixel handsets above all else. It’s not like Google has been selling Pixel phones like hotcakes. And the Pixel 5 is already rumored to start at $699, which is what you pay for an iPhone 11 now. Come fall, the iPhone 11 will be even cheaper, following the iPhone 12 launch.
