One word: Nord.

Carl Pei, and the team at OnePlus, are eager to revisit what made OnePlus a fan favorite in the first place, that being good specs for a great price. Originally self-touted as the flagship killer, we’ll see if OnePlus still has it in them. While their more recent phones are just ‘plain’ flagships, the upcoming OnePlus Nord promises to be a quality mid-range phone with an affordable price tag.

In an interview with Android Authority, Carl Pei explains:

…the OnePlus Nord is our concentrated effort to target more consumers through a more affordable price point…
