The first 10 OnePlus Nord 5G smartphones are up for grabs in Twitter giveaway

The drip feed of details has been slow but consistent since it first teased the Nord series over the past couple of weeks, but OnePlus has become one of the experts at creating social media hype around the launch of its smartphones. In the lead up to its officially unveiling on July 21, OnePlus has now launched a social media competition open to anyone from eligible regions where it is currently selling its smartphones.

Up for grabs are the very first OnePlus Nord 5G smartphones to roll off the production line and OnePlus is even specially engraving these models with the numbers 1 to 10. To enter, entrants simply need to like and retweet the competition tweet and fill out an online form. Winners will then be announced on the July 21 following the official launch unveiling of the Nord series.

The OnePlus Nord is something of a return to the roots of the company which was founded on bringing flagship credentials to smartphones that were considerably cheaper than the competition. As is often the case, the company has since started increasing the prices of its devices making them less of the great value proposition they were originally. The Nord series is aimed at bringing flagship features like 5G connectivity and 90 Hz display refresh rates to a sub-US$500 starting point.
