It's been just three months since OnePlus launched its OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro phones, but already the Chinese brand is introducing its next handset. Meet the OnePlus Nord, which has just been unveiled during the world's first AR smartphone launch.

OnePlus' flagship phones have been increasing slightly in price in the past generations, but delivering the premium features to match. Here, however, OnePlus has gone back to its roots and prioritised its flagship-killer reputation. The result: the feature-packed OnePlus Nord, which starts from just £379 (€399).

Last but not least, the Nord's 4100mAh battery (compared to the 8's 4300mAh juicebox) plays ball with OnePlus' Warp charge 30T technology, which can recharge 70 per cent of the battery in just 30 minutes.

The OnePlus Nord will be available from 4th August for £379/€399 (8GB RAM, 128GB storage) and £469/€499 (12GB RAM, 256GB storage), in blue marble or grey onyx finishes.
