OnePlus Nord

The OnePlus Nord (code-named Avicii) is an Android-based smartphone manufactured by OnePlus, unveiled on 21 July 2020. It is the first device in the Nord series. It is the first mid-range smartphone from OnePlus since the 2015 OnePlus X. It is available in Europe, India, Hong Kong, and Malaysia. Android Police has suggested that the OnePlus Nord is only launching in countries where cheap smartphones that can be bought outright are more popular than expensive ones that consumers can only afford via monthly payments and carrier subsidies. There was a beta program in which OnePlus gave 50 people in the United States and Canada a OnePlus Nord for a review, letting some of them keep the phone afterwards, depending on the quality of said review. When purchasing the phone, OnePlus offers three options: 6/64 GB, 8/128 GB, and 12/256 GB and more . The 6/64 GB variant is only available in India and will be available in September. Also, the Blue Marble 12 GB RAM / 256 GB storage variant of the phone was released on 6 August 2020 in India. Although the OnePlus Nord does not have an official IP rating, the co-founder Carl Pei in an interview with MKBHD stated that the phone could survive a 30 cm (one foot) drop in water for 30 seconds.
