The OnePlus Nord is here and it looks gorgeous

0

After weeks of teases and spec/feature confirmations, OnePlus officially lifted the curtains on the OnePlus Nord. Due to the current state of the world, OnePlus opted to provide an AR experience for everyone to at least see the Nord, instead of relying on the boring ole’ video stream (although that was just fine). The device is set to take the European and Indian markets by storm with its incredible spec sheet paired with an even more incredible price, starting at just €399 (~$458).

Key Features

Looking at the whole package now that it’s been unveiled, there are a few “key features” that the Nord will bring to the market. Since this is not a flagship smartphone, we aren’t looking at anything earth-shattering, but OnePlus has gotten a lot of folks excited about mid-range handsets.

The display sports the same 90Hz refresh rate that initially debuted with the OnePlus 7 Pro while sporting a 1080p resolution. This combination makes perfect sense at this price point and leaves the 120Hz/1440p display for the OnePlus 8 lineup. OnePlus even included an in-display fingerprint scanner, to go along with the less-secure face unlock feature. On the camera side of things, the Nord features a total of SIX, with four on the rear (including the same 48MP sensor from the OnePlus 8), and both a standard 32MP and 8MP ultrawide sensor on the front.

Under the hood, you’ll get the Snapdragon 765G (bringing 5G), which is also optimized for gaming and that’s paired with either 8GB or 12GB of RAM. Then, there’s either 128GB or 256GB of onboard and non-expandable storage (which shouldn’t come as a shock).

As for the software, the Nord brings OxygenOS 10.5 to the market, which is based on Android 10 since 11 is still not ready for primetime yet. You’ll find many of the same software options that you’ve come to know and love from OnePlus, including Dark Mode, Zen Mode, and the plethora of customization features.

Finally, OnePlus packed a 4,100mAh battery into the Nord which should be fine for most users, but you won’t be able to use your favorite wireless charger. Thankfully, Warp Charge 30T is here, charging your Nord from 0-70% in around 30-minutes.

The OnePlus Nord will launch in select markets in Asia and Europe beginning on August 4th.
