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.
On 7 December 2019, a render of a mid-range OnePlus phone was leaked. It looked like a Samsung Galaxy S20, with a hole-punch on the top-middle. There is also a SIM card slot on the top and two holes for the speaker on the bottom. The render appeared to have a laser for focusing. OnePlus Nord was previously rumored to be named the OnePlus 8 Lite or OnePlus Z. OnePlus officially confirmed the name Nord on 30 June 2020. The phone is codenamed Avicii, named after the stage name of Tim Bergling, a Swedish DJ.
In an interview with MKBHD, co-founder Carl Pei revealed the design. The camera setup was detailed in a forum announcement. Prototypes were later shown in a teaser video posted on Instagram. According to Pei, Nord is derived from the word for north (According to OnePlus, north on a compass "points towards growth and success") in several European languages, representing the North Star. OnePlus revealed the device both online and via an AR app. At 18 August a documentary ("New Beginnings") about the OnePlus Nord realization came exclusive on Amazon Prime Video.
The phone has been marked as EoL since January 2024.
The Nord has a plastic frame with a metallic coat applied to the plastic to give the appearance of real metal. It also has a raised plastic frame around the display. The device measures 158.3 mm × 73.3 mm × 8.2 mm (6.23 in × 2.89 in × 0.32 in) and weighs 184 grams (6.5 oz). It is considered a premium flagship-like build with a polished chassis between the front, made of Gorilla Glass 5, aluminum buttons, and a gloss finish and iridescent back. The smooth glass design of the phone means that sometimes it can be slippery. On 27 July 2020, it was reported that the device chassis was susceptible to bending under pressure. The pressure caused cracks to appear near the volume and power button and the display to die in extreme situations.
The OnePlus Nord design is similar to the design of the Realme X50 Pro. There are rumors that the OnePlus Nord is just a rebadged Oppo Reno4 5G smartphone.
