Keep calm in a Crysis
ONEPLUS is no stranger to shaking up the smartphone market.
But the latest release from the Chinese tech firm will have its rivals quaking in their boots.
The all-new Oneplus Nord features some ludicrously impressive specs at under £380. And it even includes 5G access for download speeds way faster than your home broadband.
Along with that new network technology, there’s a quick Qualcomm processor, fast-charging battery and stunning 6.44-inch Fluid AMOLED Display with a 90 Hz refresh rate which makes scrolling content feel silky smooth.
There’s an impressive rear camera which offers ultrawide and portrait shots along with optical image stabilisation to help reduce blur and shakiness in both photos and videos. Shooting when the lights get low is helped via Nightscape – Oneplus’s version of Apple’s Night mode.
Selfies should also look Instagram perfect thanks to a dual front-facing snapper which even allows wide-angle photos of your face.
“The Oneplus Nord is an important milestone as we look to share the best technology around the world,” said Pete Lau, founder and CEO.
“The Oneplus Nord combines a flagship camera along with our signature features to deliver a best-in-class smartphone experience.”
The Oneplus Nord comes in Blue Marble and Gray Onyx with prices starting from £370. Available from the Oneplus website, John Lewis, Three and Amazon UK from August 4.

ALONG with that budget phone, Oneplus is also launching some new cut-priced Airpods rivals.
At just £79 they’re almost half the price of Apple’s.

The Oneplus Buds offer seven hours of music playback. They’re available to pre-order right now.
