After much anticipation, OnePlus has finally launched the Nord 2 5G and it looks brilliantly packed with features. It also happens to be the first OnePlus smartphone to move away from Qualcomm and use a Mediatek chipset so that will be really interesting to see. This new OnePlus smartphone has an improved camera setup and a MediaTek Dimensity 1200 processor which has been somewhat customised with additional AI processing power to create the Dimensity 1200-AI. There are 6GB, 8GB, and 12GB RAM options, with 128GB of storage for the lower two and 256GB on the highest one. The pricing of the smartphone is also quite amazing and also surprising considering such flagship features.

The OnePlus Nord 2 5G has set a starting price of Rs. 27,999 in India for the base variant, which has 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. There are two more variants of the OnePlus Nord 2, one with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage which costs Rs. 29,999, and finally the 12GB of RAM with 256GB of storage is priced at Rs. 34,999. Pretty good, right? The smartphone is available in three colour options of Gray Sierra, Blue Haze, and the India exclusive Green Wood colour. The Nord 2 has a sleek look and glass front and back, which looks great.
