OnePlus is no stranger to limited edition phones based on pop culture. Some of its limited-edition phones include the OnePlus 5T Star Wars Limited Edition, the OnePlus 6 Avengers Edition, and the OnePlus 8T Cyberpunk 2077 Edition. The manufacturer is now set to announce another limited edition phone and from available info, it is the Nord 2 Pac-Man Edition.
The folks at Oxygen Updater and XDA Developers have discovered several strings and bits of info from the teardown of multiple APKs following a recent update of the OnePlus Nord 2 smartphone, all of which point towards a Pac-Man version of the phone.
Among the discovered details are a new PAC-Man themed lock screen in the OnePlus Launcher (v5.2.3.4). The new lockscreen has a yellow text in the same hue as the titular character of the game as well as eyes from the ghosts in the game. It was also discovered that OnePlus has added a new XML configuration file named “default_workspace_5x5_pacman.xml” as well as the PAC-MAN 256 – Endless Maze game to the OnePlus folder on the default homescreen.
Alongside the above is a new fingerprint animation based on the PAC-MAN game. There are also references to the popular Bandai Namco game in the Gallery app which mentions a custom sticker after charging for a period of time.

The confirmation that the phone is a OnePlus Nord 2 PAC-MAN edition comes from Max Jambor @MaxJmb who is known for his OnePlus-related leaks. In a tweet posted earlier today, he shared a photo of the game character eating up the Nord 2.
We do not know when this limited edition phone will launch but it shouldn’t be far off.
