We’ve used the themed edition of the OnePlus Nord 2, and here’s the first few references we’ve spotted to the gaming icon.
By the end of 2021, the OnePlus Nord 2 Pac-Man Edition will be ready to buy, and it brings together one of the year’s best mid-range smartphones with the gaming icon that first appeared in arcades in 1980. It’s an odd pairing, but the new Pac-Man edition of the phone is packed full of references to the pizza-shaped hungry boy, and his first 40 years of gaming. OnePlus wants to position itself as a gaming phone brand, so this makes sense for those who like the look of the company’s handsets and retro games. In terms of tech, this is the same OnePlus Nord 2 that we gave a 4.5-star review to earlier in 2021. That means it features a 6.43-inch 90Hz display, MediaTek Dimensity 1200 chipset,50MP main camera,32MP selfie camera and more. All the Pac-Man changes here are cosmetic — it just comes in a 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage variant — but we’re able to run you through five differences we’ve spotted while using the smartphone for the last few days. If you like Pac-Man, you’ll enjoy the fact the mascot is adorning the rear of your phone alongside a grid of dots that he’s likely planning on swallowing whole. There’s no sign of any spooky ghosts on the rear of the OnePlus Nord 2, thankfully.
