OnePlus launches its affordable OnePlus Nord in India and Europe

After plenty of rumors and teasers, OnePlus has finally launched its affordable OnePlus Nord phone in India and Europe.

The Chinese phone maker has always tried to make ‘flagship killers’ — phones with high-end specs that are priced below iPhones and Samsung Galaxy devices. However, with this new device, the approach is quite different as there’s a larger focus on pricing.

The Nord is the company’s second sub-$400 phone, it comes following a five-year wait since the $300 OnePlus X was launched back in 2015. The device is impressive on paper despite the price tag as it packs a lot of components seen on phones above $500.

Here are the OnePlus Nord’s full specifications.
