The OnePlus Nord is now official, and the phone delivers a lot of exciting features for under $500. It is powered by a Snapdragon 765G — the first OnePlus phone to not run a Snapdragon 8xx series chipset — and you get a vibrant 90Hz AMOLED panel, 4115mAh battery with 30W wired charging, 48MP quad-camera at the back, and the latest version of OxygenOS based on Android 10 out of the box.

Interestingly, OnePlus is offering 32MP + 8MP dual cameras at the front, with the primary lens joined by a wide-angle module that has a 105-degree field-of-view. You are getting a lot of value here, and that's particularly true when you consider the fact that the Nord has 5G connectivity. Here's a detailed look at the hardware on offer with the OnePlus Nord:

  • How would this phone fare in the USA in regards to service? Does it have the neccesary radio bands?
  • Your get service but it would be incomplete. No band 14 on At&T and T-Mobile is lacking band 71 for in building penetration. 5g would probably fair even worse. I was hoping they'd include all the US bands in case they release it to the US and for those that want to import. But the bands that are missing are the common bands you find missing on European models.
    We need a proper NA model
  • How is OnePlus's history with OS upgrades and monthly security updates? For how long do they guarantee such services.
  • They generally provide 3 platform updates and pretty regular security updates. It's not as good as Pixel but it's better than most OEMs There updates is one of the major reasons I buy OnePlus. OxygenOS is also very fast and a great performer with useful features.
  • 👆just what I needed to know. The Pixel mention is exactly what needed to be compared with, because that is exactly my case. Thanks so much. Keep on exterminating 🤭😉
