“The OnePlus Nord 2 PAC-MAN Edition reaffirms OnePlus’s commitment to delivering refreshing, meaningful experiences to our ever-growing community,” Pete Lau, Founder of OnePlus, said in a statement. 
“The OnePlus Nord 2 x PAC-MAN Edition comes with all the incredible features our community loved about the regular Nord 2, but delivers them in an expertly crafted, fully customized package celebrating video game icon PAC-MAN," Lau added.


Talking about the design language, for the outermost film, OnePlus’s design style is combined with signature Pac-Man elements, such as the game’s iconic Pac-Dots and Pac-Man himself. For the innermost film, the special edition device boasts a glossy phosphorescent design that glows in the dark to reveal a neon maze inspired by Pac-Man. OnePlus and Nord elements are integrated into the maze.


“Since 1980, PAC-MAN has brought fun to players all over the world with its very intuitive gameplay, distinct art style, and colorful personality. We’re thrilled to see how the OnePlus Nord 2 x PAC-MAN Edition captures the playfulness and fun of the legendary character with its custom hardware and software," said Aâdil Tayouga, EMEA Head of Licensing & Strategic Partnerships of BANDAI NAMCO Europe S.A.S..


“We are very pleased to see this wonderful collaboration with the OnePlus Nord 2 x PAC-MAN Edition, where the design and features that represent PAC-MAN are so well integrated into the world of OnePlus Nord 2," said Yutaka Fuse, Head of PAC-MAN & Global Business Section of BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment.


Nord 2 Pac-Man Edition Design And Specifications


The alert slider of the OnePlus Nord 2 Pac-Man Edition sports the same dark blue color as the TURN-TO-BLUE, vulnerable ghosts from Pac-Man that appear when the player eats a POWER PELLET. The OnePlus Nord 2 Pac-Man Edition comes with a DIY Pac-Man phone holder, featuring popular characters from the arcade classic. 


The holder’s design is inspired by the famous Penrose stairs and symbolizes Pac-Man’s iconic gameplay loop.


The custom OxygenOS gets a retro makeover with the OnePlus Nord 2 Pac-Man Edition, starting with the software’s classic icons that have been overhauled with a fun pixelated aesthetic inspired by lo-fi video games.


On the device’s rear sits a 50MP AI triple camera, along with optical image stabilization (OIS) and a Sony IMX766 sensor capable of capturing 56 per cent more light than the original OnePlus Nord. 


The camera system works in tandem with AI-assisted software powered by the OnePlus Nord 2 Pac-Man Edition’s MediaTek Dimensity 1200-AI chipset. The combination of powerful hardware and intelligent software enables features such as Nightscape Ultra, an enhanced version of OnePlus’s Nightscape mode, that allows users to shoot better and brighter photos in conditions as dim as 1 lux.


The phone features a large 4500mAh dual cell battery that can be charged from 0-100 per cent in just 30 minutes, thanks to the power of Warp Charge 65, according to OnePlus. The OnePlus Nord 2 Pac-Man Edition also features a 90Hz Fluid AMOLED display, two 5G SIM card slots and has OxygenOS 11.3 onboard.
