But we can’t also rule out the possibility of the company using a 5G chipset from MediaTek like the Dimensity 700 or 900 series. This will be a switch of loyalty but MediaTek chipsets appears to be much more affordable than those of Qualcomm.

There is also the possibility that OnePlus might choose to use a lower chipset. Like the Snapdragon 480 5G. This won’t come as a total surprise as the Nord 100 is using Snapdragon 460.
