OnePlus Nord 2 Pro 5G: The China-only Nord 2 with a tuned Dimensity 1300 and 4,500 mAh cell.
SpecEagle Editorial·Oct 2021·$450·Score 72/100
Nord 2 Pro 5G was the China-only twin of the Nord 2 — same Dimensity 1200-AI and IMX766 OIS main camera that defined the year's value-mid camera tuning. The 90 Hz panel and no-IP build kept it modest; for OnePlus completists it remains a quietly important phone.
