Exclusive Creators’ back covers incoming
One of the renders also had the famous YouTuber JerryRigEverything branding etched on to what looked like a proprietary case.
This revealed the bottom which will house a speaker grill, USB Type-C SIM tray, and primary microphone. From the renders, we weren’t able to spot a 3.5mm audio jack. This means the company is likely to carry on with the wireless audio theme with OnePlus Nord.
As mentioned earlier, Mr.Evan Blass has also revealed three special “OnePlus Creators’ Case” renders of popular creators like Camilla Engstrom, Finsta, and Zack Nelson for the OnePlus Nord hinting that the company could launch them alongside the device itself.
