OnePlus released its midranger, OnePlus Nord, earlier in the week. With this launch, the company is finally going back to its roots of offering top specs at half the price of a flagship. On paper, this is the company's first serious attempt at a midrange smartphone, since most of its launches are considered flagships. But, with the OnePlus 8 Pro costing over $899, many fans were questioning if buying OnePlus was even worth it anymore.

The company has answered all the concerns with its latest release. Not only does the OnePlus Nord offer all the flagship specs from OnePlus 8 - released only a few months ago - but does it for just £379 (around $488).
