Remember, Nord is a new product line, not just one device.

    Nord 1 got mixed reception from consumers. If Nord 2 can fix it's primary shortcomings (by being cheaper, and using an aluminum frame), then it very well could be much more successful. SD690 would be more than powerful enough for the average user.

        Lol.. Let's see, they sure as well won't reduce the price using 5G as an excuse, it'll be $400 only & with the whole phone snappong in half so easily, this could happen with someone pulling it out of their skinny jeans pocket.

        Spend $100-$150 more and get the Asus Zenfone 7 with SD865

          And this is how they agree behind the scenes to not destroy apple at home! They won't bring nord with 765 in USA, but the 690 version, and not now but in december.
          This is politics and pressure, not free market.

            After Zach's durability test from JerryRigEverything, they have the guts to launch this cheapy flaky plastic in the US !
            Samsung already has the A51 5G in the US with a solid aluminium frame & Exynos 980, which is even better than SD 765, let alone the 690 (https://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_a51_5g-review-2128.php)

              Ok so we are looking at a midrange phone option that has less performance then the upcoming Xiaomi Mi A4, no 3.5mm jack, plastic build. Tell me a reason why would someone prefer this over the above or phones like a Realme 6 ?

                  And that my friend is how the will f*ck up a lineup with minor changes in every market so community of users for any device will never be big to count something.

                  iPhone SE could be not properly cheap but at least is the same worldwide.

                        No one cares about the specs because this plasticky phone bends already in Zack's JerryRig durability test.

                        Never settle.

                          We already have a lot of amazing products, and again a lot of hype for this oneplus trash?

                              It is just like what MKBHD says : They can't make an flagship killer anymore, because if they do, their flagship will have no sales.

                              I would go for an 855+ over an 765G.

                              What's the point of having an 90hz if the chip isn't powerful enough?
                              What's the point of having an macro and depth camera?
                              What's the point of using an midrange 5G chip that is slow by the time 5G is ready?
                              Why no headphone jack? (midrange bro)
                              Why no MicroSD? (it is an UFS 2.1 storage, not UFS 3.0!!!!)

                              Many wrong decisions by Oneplus this year :

                              1. Make an expensive flagship
                              2. Destroying their own smooth and fast philosophy
                              3. Not having an top end specs at an affordable price

                                      Oneplus Nord is superior in 5G, better main camera, 4k30fps recording, OXYGEN OS, Software updates

                                      It comes down whether you want a phone that is 5G ready when the 5G is available, but is a bit slow.
                                      Or you want a phone that is 4G but is still fast in the 5G era.

                                      Your choice.

                                      I personally would go for an Realme X2 Pro or an Poco F2 Pro.
                                      If you live in the US, Forget the Poco F2 Pro, as somr bands won't work with it.
