A couple of months ago, we got our hands on the OnePlus 8 that sport flagship specs at a competitive price. This time, OnePlus is repeating that strategy in the mid-range segment with the OnePlus Nord. It packs a Full HD+ Fluid AMOLED 90Hz display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G chipset coupled with up to 12GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and 5G connectivity. Check out our initial thoughts below.

The OnePlus Nord almost has the same features as the OnePlus 8 but in a more affordable package. For the aesthetics, it’s got a glossy glass back in Blue Marble color, but it is also available in Gray Onyx. At this point, we can already say that it’s a pretty device.

Upfront, it packs a massive 6.44-inch FHD+ 90Hz Fluid AMOLED display with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 or 408ppi with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 for extra protection. Since this is an AMOLED display, colors are vibrant with deep blacks and great contrast, which is perfect for watching videos. Bezels are thin but with a slightly thicker chin. Situated on the top left corner of the display is the dualselfie camera. The optical fingerprint scanner is located under the screen.

Found on the left side of the OnePlus Nord is its volume rockers.

The power and OnePlus’s signature 3-way sound profile key for Silent, Vibration, and Ring.

Below the device are the loudspeaker, USB Type-C port, microphone, and a dual-SIM card tray. There’s no support for microSD cards but there’s 5G connectivity. And finally, located at the top is the noise-canceling microphone.

At the back of the Nord are its quad-rear cameras consisting of a 48MP primary, 8MP ultra-wide, 5MP depth, and a 2MP macro lens. For selfies, we got a dual- front-facing camera consisting of 32MP primary shooter and an 8MP ultra-wide.
