June 15, 2025
TheOnePlus Xwas an experimental phone and the company’s co-founder Carl Pei admitted as much in a recentinterview withAndroid Authority. But the OnePlus Nord is not a one-off mid-range device like its predecessor. OnePlus has made it clear that it intends to create line of affordable phones within the Nord range and that it’s hoping to reach a wide audience with the new phone(s).
OnePlus is also happy with what mid-range chipsets like theSnapdragon 765Ghave to offer. This is why unlike the OnePlus X, the OnePlus Nord series will not use an older flagship SoC.

The new phone represents“New Beginnings”for OnePlus, which is aspiring to return to its roots of offering cheap, but feature-filled phones. Can the OnePlus Nord recreate the glory of the OnePlus X? Here’s what you had to say.

The comments make it very clear that our readers are very passionate about this topic. It’s also certain that a lot of you admired the OnePlus X for its flagship chipset and wanted the OnePlus Nord to have one too.
However, as our ownHadlee Simonspoints out, it’s a tough balancing act to offer flagship Qualcomm silicon in 2020 and also provide features like an OLED screen, useful cameras, high refresh rate, storage, and RAM at the same time. Let’s hope OnePlus has done a decent job on all those fronts to make the OnePlus Nord a worthy OnePlus X successor.
