OnePlus Nord with Snapdragon 460 coming soon


Back in the last month, OnePlus unveiled the OnePlus Nord as its first mid-range smartphone in years. Now, it seems that the OnePlus Nord will be more than just a single device, but an entire series of affordable devices. The OnePlus Nord came with competitive specifications, 5G, and a powerful camera featuring OIS. Despite the appeal, the device’s availability was rather limited. One big market to lose out the handset was the United States. However, the company promised to bring a more affordable OnePlus phone in the coming months. According to a new report from Android central, the next budget device will bear the Clover codename and will debut in the $200 range. More importantly, the device will be available globally.
