OnePlus Nord 2 5G Unveiled Along With OnePlus Buds Pro

After a lot of leaks and rumours, OnePlus has finally launched the successor of it’s Premium Mid-range Nord series, the OnePlus Nord 2. Last year’s Nord was a great success commercially, although the users faced some quality control issues and software bugs. And that’s why people have high hopes from the Nord 2. Because if it fails to deliver what it promise, the Nord series will be a failure. Does OnePlus justified the hardware of Nord 2 for it’s price? Let’s find out.

The OnePlus Nord 2 has a similar design as the OnePlus 9 which was launched few months back. The front has a 6.44 inch display (slightly smaller the original 9) with Gorilla Glass 5 protection.
