In a week when Microsoft and Gucci decided to collaborate on a $10,000 Xbox Series 10, OnePlus and Namco Bandai have come upwards with something only slightly less unexpected: the OnePlus Nord 2 Pac-Man Edition.

Given we're not getting a OnePlus 9T this winter, this is every bit good every bit it gets, but it's non new hardware — just the first-class just familiar OnePlus Nord 2 given a mild makeover.

In other words, there's no advancements on the MediaTek Dimensity 1200-AI chip, 12GB RAM, 90Hz 1080p screen, 256GB storage or 4,500mAh battery — but there is a small-scale Pac-Human being logo on the back.

Non only that, but the back glows in the dark. At nightfall, the seemingly patently OnePlus Nord 2 Pac-Man Edition'southward back will low-cal up to reveal a bright dark-green Pac-Man maze, with the word Nord spelled out in the middle.

If y'all like, there's also a semi-translucent case with Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde — the four ghosts that Pac-Man spends that majority of his waking hours avoiding. Simply best of all is mannerly little build-it-yourself Pac-Homo stand that comes with the phone when ordered straight from OnePlus:

There's likewise a little fleck of Pac-Man within the telephone, too, with eight themed wallpapers, retro notification sounds, 8-bit-style icons for OnePlus' own apps and a bundled copy of Pac-Man 256. Our colleagues at TechRadar even spotted that the dot telling you what folio you're on in the settings has been replaced by a small Pac-Man.

All in all it's a charming, if slightly unusual collaboration — though mayhap no more than unusual than OnePlus' previous phone necktie-in with motoring brand McLaren.

The Pac-Homo Edition of the OnePlus Nord 2 is only available with 12GB RAM and 256GB of onboard storage, which is the premium configuration of the original handset, and can besides be had with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage to relieve a bit of greenbacks.

Unfortunately, like the original Nord 2, OnePlus has opted non to sell the phone in the U.South. It'southward only available in the U.Yard., Europe and India, for £499, €529 and ₹37,999 respectively. That'due south a small increase on the £469, €499 and ₹34,999 y'all tin expect to pay for the equivalently specced version without Pac-Man'southward presence.
