The last OnePlus phone that was available in red was the OnePlus 7 announced back in 2019. Now, this much-loved color is making a return with the OnePlus Nord 2. Yes, the Nord 2 will come in red, and here’s our first look.

The render of the red variant of the phone was posted on Twitter by Evan Blass (@evleaks) earlier today and fans are excited. The shade is different from the Amber Red of the OnePlus 6. It is also not glossy like the red of the OnePlus 7.

With the leak of this red colorway, we now know the Nord 2 will be available in four colors. Earlier leaks have revealed that the other three colors are Gray Sierra, Blue Haze, and Green Woods. We are yet to see the Green Woods color option which has been reported will be limited to the 12GB RAM + 256GB version. We do not know if OnePlus will also limit the red variant to a select configuration but we won’t rule out that possibility. It may also be limited to select markets.

The OnePlus Nord 2 launches on July 22. The phone will be powered by the Dimensity 1200-AI chipset, the first MediaTek processor to appear in a OnePlus phone. It will have a 90Hz AMOLED display, three rear cameras, a 4500mAh battery, and support for 65W fast charging. OnePlus has disclosed that the device will run Android 11 out of the box and will get two major OS updates and three years of security updates.
