1) Premium design
2) 6.44-inch display, 20:9 aspect ratio, Full HD+, 90Hz refresh rate.
3) Fingerprint and face unlock.
4) The OnePlus Nord design reveal its modset price. You get the same premium build and finish as on the flagship OnePlus 8 series, with a metal frame sandwiched between Gorilla Glass on the front and rear.
It makes for a solid, premium-feeling device in the hand, and it’s a similar size to the OnePlus 8, meaning the OnePlus Nord can be used one-handed – although those with smaller hands may struggle to stretch their thumb to the top of the display.
The Nord measures 158.3 x 73.3 x 8.2mm and tips the scales at 184g, which means it’s shorter than the aforementioned OnePlus 8, but ever so slightly wider, thicker and heavier.
The power/lock key on the right falls nicely under thumb or finger, and it sits just below OnePlus now-familiar alert slider, which allows you to quickly switch between silent, vibrate and loud modes.
The volume rocker sits on the opposite side, while on the base you’ll find a centralized USB-C port flanked by a speaker and the dual SIM card port; there’s no headphone jack on the OnePlus Nord, however.The phone is available in two colors, and while the Gray onyx finish is a little dull-looking, the second option is likely to be more appealing – it’s called Blue Marble, and it certainly makes a statement, as you can see in our pictures.
OnePlus says the nord does have water aversion, but it doesn’t carry an official IP rating, which would guarantee its dust- and water-repelling abilities.
It’s one of the ways OnePlus has kept the price of the Nord down, and while it claims the handset has been plunged into 30cm of water for 30 minutes and survived, you might want to be a little careful.
Round the back the main feature is the large, oblong camera bump which houses the OnePlus Nord’s four rear cameras. This is raised by a couple of millimeters from the back of the handset, as on the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro, but unlike on its more premium siblings, the camera block is in the left corner, rather than central.
It means that when placed screen-up on a surface the Nord doesn’t sit flush with the surface, and due to the slight protrusion in one corner it wobbles when you tap the display.
The OnePlus Nord has a 6.44-inch AMOLED display with a 20:9 aspect ratio, Full HD+(2400 x 1080) resolution, and a 90Hz refresh rate for fluid scrolling performance.
The screen dominates the front of the handset, with minimal bezels – the thickest one is at the foot of the display. The only interruption to the screen is the punch-hole cutout in the top-left corner that houses the dual selfieThe cameras don’t tend to get in the way, but they do limit the number of notification icons that can be displayed in the top bar, which may irk some users.
The display is bright and clear, but unlike the screens on the 8 series phones the Nord’s is flat, rather than having curved edges which spill over the sides of the phone. Without these curves to the front edges of the handset, the Nord does feel a touch chunkier in the hand.
A fingerprint scanner is embedded in the screen, allowing you to register your prints for security. The Nord also supports face unlock, and it can
merge both biometric security features for faster unlocking.
