The OnePlus Nord is priced Rs 24,999 onwards and is available in three variants and you get the choice of Blue Marble and Gray Onyx colour options.

The OnePlus Nord is, on paper and after my test, one of the most beautiful phones made by a brand. OnePlus has understood what was missing from its catalog: a more accessible model.

AMOLED 90 Hz screen; Great quad-camera performance; Powerful Snapdragon 765G processor; Fluid Oxygen OS experience; Value-for-money

Dated and flashy design; No telephoto lens; No wireless charging; No IP certification

So… it's time to draw the proverbial line in the sand. Is the OnePlus Nord good enough? And is it a "flagship killer"? To the first question, the answer is a big yes, and for the second one, I think it’s not quite there.

Very aggressive price; outstanding value for the money; Gorgeous AMOLED screen; Fast performance; 90Hz support; Very fast charging (30W)

Colors in photos are a bit muted; lack a bit in liveliness; No telephoto camera; macro lens is a gimmick; No headphone jack; no expandable storage; Loudspeaker quality is average; No wireless charging

OnePlus got started with affordable so-called “flagship killers” like the OnePlus One and OnePlus 3. But over the years, its phones have become more expensive (as have most phones, to be fair).

Build quality Plastic frame aside, this feels just like a OnePlus phone should — it’s well made and likely to be durable over time; Display Smooth 90Hz AMOLED panel with a good-enough 1080p resolution and decent brightness levels. It’s also flat, which means no accidental touches or tinted sides.

Design It’s not unattractive, but it’s certainly a step down from the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro — you just can’t beat those matte glass finishes and centered camera modules; Cameras (again) Sensor crop zoom is terrible past 2x.

OnePlus has made an emphatic return to the mid-range market with the OnePlus Nord – it's an affordable smartphone that's packed with features. There's a great screen, plenty of power, and a set of capable cameras, all wrapped up in a package that belies its affordable price.

Affordable with flagship qualities; Premium design; Plenty of camera features

Average battery life; Limited notifications space; No IP rating for water resistance

The OnePlus Nord offers best-in-class display, main camera, and software, making it the mid-range phone to beat in 2020

The OnePlus Nord gets its priorities right, delivering flagship fundamentals without the fluff - all at an astonishing price.

OnePlus Nord: OnePlus' rethink handset is good-looking and packed with tempting specifications

Handsome design; Decent battery life and performance; 5G compatible

No zoom camera; No wireless charging; Lacks a headphone jack

With 5G, a solid lineup of specs and a beautiful, vibrant design, the OnePlus Nord ($685 at Amazon) offers a hell of a lot for a reasonable price. At under 500 euros (about $570, £450 or AU$820), it's significantly cheaper than its $999 flagship sibling, the OnePlus 8 Pro. This phone packs a potent octacore processor, a vibrant 6.44-inch display, an in-display fingerprint scanner and 5G connectivity for ultrafast data speeds. All of that's wrapped up in a great-looking blue body that feels anything but cheap. Add to that three rear cameras that take decent shots and two selfie cameras, and the Nord is as well-stacked as any of today's elite handsets.

5G, great specs and a low price -- the OnePlus Nord has everything you'd want in a 5G phone.
