Chinese smartphone maker OnePlus has been in the news for the last few days. The company had stitched a partnership with Bandai Namco – the company behind the famous game Pac-Man to launch a variant of its affordable flagship.
The phone aptly called OnePlus Nord Nord 2 Pac-Man Edition has, after a lot of hype and anticipation, gone live today in India. The phone, according to the company, is a unique blend of simplistic design of OnePlus and signature Pac-Man elements – such as the game’s iconic Pac-Dots and Pac-Man himself.
The key specifications of the phone, rather disappointingly, remain unchanged and packs a MediaTek Dimensity 1200 SoC at its core coupled with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. It is a OnePlus Nord 2 with a gamified user interface and a glow-in-the-dark skin at the back.
