- The Nord will be noticeably cheaper than the recently launched OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro, which cost $ 700 and $ 900, respectively.
- The launch would come when smartphone manufacturers like Samsung and Apple are launching more competitively priced phones like the iPhone SE and the Galaxy A series of devices.

OnePlus launched the $ 700 OnePlus 8 and $ 900 OnePlus 8 Pro earlier this year, but the company is already planning its next major smartphone launch – the OnePlus Nord.
Unlike the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro, the Nord is expected to represent a return to the company’s roots of launching affordable smartphones that lower the prices of devices launched by Samsung and Apple. The company has deviated from that vision by launching higher priced phones at a time when the industry is gravitating toward less expensive phones.
If the leaks turn out to be true, we can expect the under $ 500 OnePlus Nord to challenge premium devices like the iPhone 11 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S20 with a triple-lens camera and 5G support.
Here’s everything we know about OnePlus Nord, which is expected to debut this month.
