OnePlus Nord is all set to launch in India on July 21st. The 5G smartphone with Snapdragon 765G chipset is going to be the company’s most affordable smartphone since 2015, with its price confirmed to be under Rs 40,000. In India, however, the OnePlus Nord will most likely retail under Rs 30,000 price segment since the company already has its OnePlus 7T lineup filling the sub-Rs 40,000 category. A report that came out back in June (when the device was called OnePlus Z) suggested that the OnePlus Nord will be priced in India at Rs 24,990 for the base 6GB RAM + 128GB storage variant (fingers crossed!). If that turns out to be correct, the handset will be up against some of the popular smartphones in the category, such as Realme X3 SuperZoom, Samsung Galaxy A51, and Vivo V19. Before we jump to the OnePlus Nord competitors, let’s take a look at its specifications that we expect from the phone:
