OnePlus Nord 2 Pac-Man Edition review: New model packs in a cool quotient

OnePlus has partnered with Bandai Namco to add Pac-Man theme design elements to the Nord 2 smartphone.

The special edition comes with 12GB RAM and 256GB internal storage and is priced at Rs 37,999, about Rs 3,000 more than the standard OnePlus Nord 2 that it launched earlier this year.

There is a special touch to the experience, design and UI of the OnePlus Nord 2 Pac-Man edition. Though its front and sides are the same as the regular Nord 2, the device has a dual film colour rear panel. It looks grey but has phosphorescent ink on its innermost film which gives it a sea-green tint.


It features a unique glow on the dark back panel that outlines the Pac-Man maze in neon. It also has a Pac-Man at the bottom of the camera unit and small reflective dots all over the panel resembling the cookies in the Pac-Man game.

The icons of basic pre-installed apps such as Camera, Settings and others get a retro theme. It also gets new static and live animated wallpapers.

The fingerprint scanner and animation are newly designed. The device also gets a new catchy ringtone and notification sound. The PacMan256 game comes pre-installed, and the game is available on Google Play Store and Apple App Store as well.

Overall, the OnePlus Nord 2 Pac-Man’s attention to detail makes it an interesting buy.
