The Special “Reality To Idea” OnePlus Nord SE

OnePlus, as we know, is not unfamiliar with special edition smartphones. So, for this project, the company had partnered with Joshua Vides, a renowned designer and the founder of the design studio “Reality To Idea“. Now, a report by Recalled gives us the first glimpse at the special packaging and the device via a bunch of pictures.

As you can see in the images, the OnePlus Nord SE was supposed to come in a special collector’s edition box. The packaging was to feature a signature white-and-black color scheme. It had a paper-like theme to it which, in my opinion, looked kinda cool. And the way that the retail box opens is super-impressive.

Inside the box, there is a standard OnePlus Nord device wrapped in a white and black sleeve. There is also a Reality To Idea-themed case and tote bag inside. At the back of the box, there is a QR code that leads users to a stylized wallpaper made especially for the OnePlus Nord SE. Coming to the device, surprisingly, there is nothing special about it. It is a standard OnePlus Nord in a gray-ash color scheme. As per the report, it was supposed to come in a 12GB + 256GB storage configuration.

In another report, it is stated that the company was aiming to launch the device for a price of €499 (~Rs. 43,000). However, it is unclear why the Chinese giant ditched the project and released a standard OnePlus Nord device in a special “Gray Ash” color scheme back in October 2020 instead.
