OnePlus Nord 2 Pac-Man Limited Edition is set to hit the store shelves soon if rumors making the rounds online prove to be true. The Chinese smartphone manufacturer has a reputation for introducing limited-edition phones. For instance, the company has launched the OnePlus 8T Cyberpunk 2077 Edition, the OnePlus 6 Avengers Edition, and the OnePlus 5T Star Wars Limited Edition in the past.
The popular smartphone brand has been drawing flak lately for the Nord 2 exploding on multiple occasions. Last month, even a OnePlus Nord 2 Warp Charger had exploded after it was plugged into a socket for charging the phone. Technicians at the OnePlus care center attributed the incident to voltage fluctuation, and the company even offered a replacement for the user. OnePlus may be trying to amend the rundown reputation of the Nord 2 by introducing the Nord 2 Pac-Man Edition.
