OnePlus took to Twitter over the weekend to tease the OnePlus Nord Special Edition. The teaser image includes a OnePlus logo carved in the sand, hinting at the arrival of an OG OnePlus One-like Sandstone Finish for the Nord. This device will be unveiled alongside the OnePlus 8T and Buds Z on 14th October, a couple of days from today.
— OnePlus (@oneplus) October 11, 2020 This is not the first time we are hearing about a third color variant for the OnePlus Nord. Reputable tipster Max J. (@MaxJmb) has been hinting at this for quite some time now. He shared that the Special Edition will boast a Gray Ash colorway, have a matte finish, and will launch sometime in October. And well, his prediction seems to be on point.
OnePlus Nord Specifications
Let’s do a quick specs recap for this OnePlus mid-ranger. It features a 6.44-inch Full-HD+ AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate. You have a dual-camera punch-hole cutout at the top left. It sports a 32MP primary sensor and an 8MP ultra-wide sensor with a 105-degree FOV. The vertical quad-camera setup on the rear features a 48MP primary camera with OIS, an 8MP ultra-wide sensor, a 2MP macro lens, and a 5MP depth sensor. OnePlus Nord is powered by the Snapdragon 765G SoC with 5G support, up to 12GB RAM, and up to 256GB storage. There’s also a 4,115mAh battery with 30W fast-charging support present onboard. OnePlus Nord is the most affordable 5G smartphone selling in India. It starts at Rs. 24,999 for the 6GB+64GB base variant. I have been using the Nord for the past two months and even though there are a few software issues, you get a value-for-money package and will be satisfied with your purchase.
