OnePlus also got rid of the Hidden Space feature for placing unwanted icons on a separate screen. It only allows four-icon-wide grid with no support for folders. The app drawer isn't particularly customizable. You can customize the wallpaper and since this is Android 12 the OS will automatically adjust its color scheme for certain apps based on the wallpaper. The launcher is from ColorOS and lets you customize things like the icon shape and size, while also supporting third-party icons. On the other hand, it's going to seem quite different to those switching from an older OnePlus device, such as the original OnePlus Nord. OxygenOS 12.1 is, for all intents and purposes, ColorOS 12 with a different theme and should be familiar to anyone who's coming from an Oppo or Realme device. It's independent of the AOD and lighter on the battery, and it is a good alternative to a notification LED. It's worth noting the Nord 2T offers Horizon Light, also known as Edge Light on other phones. You can choose from many unique themes for the AOD screen. There's plenty of slots to occupy, and you can cycle them by holding your thumb and swiping left or right.Īlways-on Display is available, and it can be truly always-on, scheduled, or power-saving (on for just a bit). There's is a Quick Launch feature (in Special Features or Fingerprint settings) that lets you open an app or execute a task if you keep your finger on the scanner for a second or two. You can also add a face for an even speedier unlock - though this is not as secure.

The Nord 2T supports fingerprint unlock, and the (always-on) optical sensor works very well - it's fast and with superb accuracy. The software is identical to that on the Nord 2 5G, which also recently received its Android 12 update. The Nord 2T 5G ships with the latest OxygenOS 12.1 running on top of Android 12.
