Wondering what the affordableOnePlus Nordwill look like? Well, the first images of the upcoming phone have appeared, giving us a brief look at the front and rear of the handset.
The image (below) appearson Amazon India, and shows the OnePlus Nord being slipped out of a pocket. Unfortunately, it’s a still image of the phone in motion taken from a video, and the handset is slightly blurred.
However, we can make out the OnePlus logo on the rear, along with a long camera bump in the top-left corner.
OnePlus Nord rumors have suggested the handset could come with either three or four rears cameras, but this particular shot doesn’t reveal which (if either) is correct.
OnePlus has also posted a new video on its Instagram account teasing the handset, and towards the end (about one minute in) we get a couple of views of the handset.
First, there’s a front-on shot as the person using the phone livestreams video; however, it’s not possible to tell from this angle whether it has one, or two, front-facing cameras – both have been rumored.
What’s also interesting here is that the screen doesn’t appear to reach all the way to the top and bottom of the device, but on closer inspection you can see the Android navigation buttons at the base of the screen, suggesting it does reach to the top as well.

Previous OnePlus Nord rumors have pointed to an all-screen display with a cutout for the front-facing camera(s) – so this all lines up here.
The shot also shows us an alert slider and power/lock key on the right side of the device, a design staple of recent OnePlus phones, and the next image shows the handset being slid into a pocket – which is where the aboveAmazonstill is from.
