We’ve known for a really long time that OnePlus is preparing its return to the mid-range smartphone market after a five-year hiatus, but the company kept us waiting for official confirmation of this long overdue X sequel… of sorts all the way through last week.
Fret not, you’ll get a couple more chances to become an early adopter
Curiously enough, India is not on the list, but for what it’s worth, the OnePlus Nord is expected to be regionally unveiled as early as July 10. In case you’re wondering, the aforementioned “promotion” refers to the inclusion of “exclusive Nord merchandise” with every pre-order. We’re talking a “random” lifestyle product, a sticker pack, and “other mystery gifts” for 1st and 2nd round pre-orders, downgraded to just a sticker pack and a “mystery gift” for the “earliest 3rd round pre-orders.”
The 5G-enabled OnePlus Nord handset will be priced “below $500”, although we don’t have exact tags for specific countries yet and the earliest adopters won’t know precisely how much they need to spend for a couple more weeks.
