Reviews for the OnePlus Nord 2 Pac-Man Edition

80% OnePlus Nord 2 × Pac-Man Edition review: A fun, unique and collectable smartphone
Source: Irish Mirror English
If you are a fan of the classic arcade game you will love OnePlus Nord 2 × Pac-Man Edition, a refreshingly enhanced version of the Nord 2 which I rated the best smartphone you can buy in Ireland for less than €450 when I reviewed it here. The fantastic new version of the superfast handset is a collab with gaming powerhouse BANDAI NAMCO Europe S.A.S. It’s not just a fresh lick of paint on the outside, as there is customised user experience in everyday use along with fun games, challenges and exclusive Pac-Man content. It all combines to ensure that anyone who buys one of these devices will feel like they have got their hands on something special. I’ve been testing the device for a week and I’ll outline the key changes compared to the standard Nord 2 below….

OnePlus Nord 2 Pac-Man Edition review: This powered up flagship challenger returns with a retro gaming twist
Source: Mirror English
Unfortunately, there’s no IP rating for the Nord 2's water and dust resistance, so try to keep it safe and dry. There’s nothing old fashioned about this screen, rocking a 6.43-inch OLED display with a decent FHD resolution of 1080 x 2400, which isn’t the highest around, but it was still great for films, browsing the web and gaming. The bezels on this screen are minor, and the bottom one is slightly more noticeable, it’s not enough to be annoying or hamper use but it does give the phone a Nord 2 a slight chin. The screen is bright and sharp, with good contrast and colours pop and can even be further increased with vivid mode making it ideal for watching films and playing games. The Nord 2 even offers HDR 10 support which keeps your highlights bright, and your darks clear and black. Also, if you are a gamer (and if you own this phone that is a fair assumption) it also supports a refresh rate of 90Hz, so the visual will look nice and smooth and while it’s not as high as some 120Hz devices it’s also less battery intensive.

OnePlus Nord 2 x PAC-MAN Edition Review
Source: Mobygyaan English
OnePlus Nord 2 x PAC-MAN Edition is packed with PAC-MAN themes, wallpapers, retro-style app icons, charging animation, ringtones, and sounds from the game along with the original PAC-MAN 256 app pre-installed on the phone, and a protective case covering almost every bit of the PAC-MAN video game giving all that nostalgic feeling for its fans. It also bundles a special LEGO-styled building blocks DIY mobile holder if you purchase the phone from the OnePlus store. What’s also interesting is its design, the glowing fluorescent neon back is impressive and unique, and it definitely grabs one’s attention. However, it carries the same hardware as the standard variant, the performance, the cameras, and fast charging capabilities are all from its standard variant, costing ₹3,000 additional compared to the top-end variant of the standard edition. Aside from these, the OnePlus Nord 2 x PAC-MAN Edition offers exceptional performance, great cameras with OIS support, stereo sound experience, and super-fast 65W charging with incredible charging speeds.

OnePlus Nord 2 Pac-Man edition quick review: The ‘coolest new mid-range flagship’
Source: Gadgets Now English
Overall, the OnePlus Nord 2 Pac-Man edition is quite an exciting product for people who like to have something different from the mundane but feature rich smartphone. Although the smartphone costs Rs 3,000 more than the regular Nord 2 with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, the attention to detail makes it an interesting buy.

OnePlus Nord 2 x PAC-MAN is everything limited-edition smartphone should be
Source: Business Standard English
Chinese electronics maker OnePlus has a rich history of making limited-edition smartphones. That legacy continues with the Nord 2 x PAC-MAN Edition, launched recently. This smartphone, however, is different from any of the previous iterations of limited-edition OnePlus smartphones. It is a holistic package with a captivating design and customised Android 11 operating system-based OxygenOS 11 OS, besides a lot of PAC-MAN inspired content and PAC-MAN 256 – Endless Maze game pre-installed. The OnePlus Nord 2 x PAC-MAN Edition is everything a limited-edition smartphone should be.

The OnePlus Nord 2 Pac-Man Edition invokes the nostalgia of arcade gaming
Source: XDA Developers English
The OnePlus Nord 2 Pac-Man Edition is an insanely good-looking smartphone, albeit when the lights are switched off. The OnePlus Nord 2 itself is a great smartphone in its price segment. Now, you’re essentially getting a combination of both for a price that’s slightly higher than the standard edition of the Nord 2. In India, the OnePlus Nord 2 Pac-Man Edition can be yours for ₹37,999. In the UK and EU, the device is priced at £499 and €529 respectively. The sale starts at 12 noon on Tuesday, 16 November. OnePlus is selling this special edition in just a single config — 12GB RAM + 256GB internal storage. The standard OnePlus Nord 2 in this RAM+storage configuration costs ₹34,999 in India, £469 in the UK, and €499 in Europe. By paying a small premium, you’re getting a unique glow-in-the-dark design, a better case, and a smartphone holder too. If I were you, I would splurge on the Pac-Man edition just for that gorgeous back. It’s just too good to pass.

6.40":

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.
