mobiletrade 2020-08-05 10:00:57

OnePlus is known for its high-quality, fast and cheaper phones than the equivalent flagships from Apple, Huawei, and Samsung. However, over the year’s price is the only thing that changed and now their flagships cost almost as much as the competition. So this year OnePlus surprised us with a great mid-range phone the OnePlus Nord.

Release date and price

OnePlus Nord was announced on July 21 and launched on August 04. It comes 2 color variants: Blue Marble, and Gray Onyx. And it will only cost around $449, which is making it a great mid-range 5G phone.

OnePlus Nord Design

The new OnePlus phone has a familiar design and the company didn’t want to experiment even a little here. It feels premium to touch and weight is well-balanced. The new Nord is an all-glass device with Gorilla Glass 5 on both the front and the back. Thankfully, OnePlus is offering a simple soft clear case out of the box. This is very important because the new OnePlus phone has a plastic frame, and the plastic frame and all-glass body will not make you feel confident. There is no IP rating but OnePlus claims that the Nord may withstand splashes.

Specifications
